When leaving home for work, vacation, or other activities, the last thing anyone expects is to return and find their home has been broken into. Break and enters can have a significant impact on victims, resulting in the loss of valuable property, personal documents, and a sense of security. By taking a few simple preventative measures, residents can help make their homes less attractive targets for thieves. Full details: ow.ly/nlCn5100IxA

What an incredible achievement! ❤️👏 Students from seven Port Coquitlam schools ran more than 10 km and raised over $43,000 through their Running Terry’s Money Home event. #CoquitlamRCMP was proud to support the event, helping ensure student safety as participants crossed major roadways along a route that connected seven local schools, with more students joining the run before reaching Terry Fox Secondary School. The energy, teamwork, and determination shown by these students were truly remarkable. Watching the community come together in honour of Terry Fox’s legacy was inspiring, and we couldn’t be prouder of everyone who helped make this event such a success. ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🎉 #TerryFox #CommunityStrong #TerryFoxRun

The Integrated Road Safety Unit (#IRSU) assisted and located the vehicle with the driver sound asleep.😴 The resulting traffic stop with the sleepy traveller revealed they were an "N" driver. Subsequently, they were issued a violation ticket for Drive Without Due Care and Attention, as well as Fail To Display "N" Sign.🚨 Drivers of all vehicles must be in control at all times when automated features are engaged while operating a motor vehicle in British Columbia.🛣️ For more details, visit: ow.ly/M7Ki50ZOtvg #RoadSafety #StayAwake #TrafficSafety #Zzzzzzzz
