“The establishment of this memorial park is extremely important to the members of the Indian Head RCMP Detachment because it recognizes the ultimate sacrifice that Const. Patton made while protecting the public.

The park will also serve as a reminder for years to come of the dangers and sacrifices that all emergency personnel make on a daily basis” Sgt. Ryan Case said in a release.

The development committee has already begun to purchase park components.
