“George Garrett is one of the most remarkable reporters of news that I have ever known. George has always had the ability to smell a good story and to report on it honestly and accurately. George is well respected for his work and also for his knowledge of the subjects or activities that he reported on.”— Jim Pattison“Some reporters are excellent to deal with and over the years may form professional and personal relationships with officers. I know a well-respected reporter by the name of George Garrett who worked in the Vancouver area for many years. He was so well liked and respected by police officers that he is still invited to many police functions in spite of the fact he is retired. George Garrett always did his job and reported the good with the bad. If a police officer or department made a mistake, he reported it fairly and accurately without personal bias. I think that is what garnered him the respect. He was a professional and reported all of the facts and all of the story.”— Constable Wayne Ryan, author of Souls Behind the Badge“During my tenure with Vancouver’s Major Crime Squad, the floor was strictly off-limits to civilian personnel. The only exception to the rule was a crime reporter named George Garrett who was given full access to the Homicide Unit. (Personally … I think he had his own key.) Garrett reported with insight, colour and accuracy and could be trusted with information that was ‘off the record.’ He acted as an invaluable liaison between the police and the media.”— Wayne Cope, author of Vancouver Blue“A must-read for anyone interested in BC history. [George is] one of the most significant figures in the history of BC journalism.”—Harold Munro, Vancouver Sun editor
