Area welcomes police dog unit
There is a new pair of law enforcers in town – Cpl. Doug Cushon and his police dog Ralph.
Cushon moved to the community in early July, and while his base is Meadow Lake, he will serve a number of communities in the northwest corner of the province including Big River, La Loche, Pierceland, Loon Lake and areas in between. He has been a dog handler for the last three years and said he is looking forward to the role in the region.
Cushon said he enjoys the unique role in the world of policing.
“It’s something new every day,” Cushon said.
