Michelle Boutin and Kevin Halwa from the National Police Federation (NPF), which represents roughly 20,000 RCMP members across Canada, talked Jan. 18 to a group of about 20 people at Putters Restaurant at the Claresholm Golf Club about why the Alberta government should keep the RCMP in the province instead of starting its own provincial police service. NPF representatives continue to tour the province, with the closest stops to Vulcan County having  in Claresholm and Okotoks. Virtual presentations are scheduled to take place Jan. 26 and 27, and Feb. 3, each starting at 6:30 p.m.
