RCMP Leader Honoured

Vernon’s top cop has been honoured for her dedication and community service.

Superintendent Shawna Baher was awarded a top distinction award at the 37th annual Police Honours Night held at the Government House in Victoria.

“The awards ceremony recognizes officers from all over the province for acts of bravery and exceptional work in their communities,” says media relations officer Kelly Brett.

Baher (pictured) was honoured for ‘Meritorious Service’ which recognizes her leadership in identifying the opioid / fentanyl crisis and ensuring all RCMP officers were authorized and trained to carry Naloxone.
