Lloydminster RCMP are all smiles with a postcard

When Canada Post started sending out over 13 million postcards, it was possible that anyone could be the recipient of  the pick-me-upper. The move was aimed at spreading some cheer to ease the challenging times of COVID.

Enter Patrick who chose to send his “smile” greetings to the Lloydminster RCMP. Officers got the card this month and decided to pay a special visit to the young man.

Patrick told Constable Melanie Flynn that he wants to join the RCMP when he grows up. Cst. Flynn thinks Patrick will make a great police officer.

Patrick got a chance to check out the police cruiser as well as their gear. He asked a ton of questions as he delved hands-on into the possible future career path.

Lloydminster RCMP took the postcard to heart and went all out as they always welcome hearing from the future of policing.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
