Thank you to the residents and businesses of Newfoundland and Labrador for supporting our 27th Annual Community Guide! Your support each year allows us to continue to bring important public safety awareness to the people of our province.
In this year’s guide, we highlight the dangers of Prescription Drug Abuse. The abuse of prescription drugs in our community affects us all and we must work together to address these challenges. Discussing the misuse of prescription drugs and how you can prevent problematic prescription drug use (p.15) is important. We have included resources that are available if you or a loved one need help (p.65, 75 - 81 and 112). No one should have to suffer alone. The RNC Association, through monies raised by the publication of this guide, assists many organizations and community groups within our province. We are pleased this year to support Mental Health and Addictions Newfoundland and Labrador through our assistance to four of the health service providers across the province. These providers work to address the challenges of addiction in our province and are a source of support for many. We hope that you will use this Community Guide as a resource to start a conversation with your loved ones. Awareness and understanding of prescription drug abuse may help to save someone’s life. Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Mike Summers President RNC Association

On behalf of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association, I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank each and every contributor to our Annual Telephone Appeal, allowing this unique publication to be distributed to schools, libraries and public facilities and also available online at www.rnca.ca, making it easily accessible to everyone.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association publishes these Annual Crime Prevention Guides to educate the public on important community concerns. This 27th Annual Crime Prevention Guide targets the very serious problem of Prescription Drug Abuse, focusing on the terrible consequences of abusing opiates, including the recently publicized fentanyl scare.
This publication is made possible as a result of financial contributions from residents and business representatives throughout the province. With their generous support for their activities the RNCA is also able to give back to their communities through donations to various local charities and programs for youth.
Your comments or suggestions regarding these publications are always welcome and we look forward to speaking with you each year during our Annual Telephone Appeal.
Respectfully,
Mark T. Fenety President Fenety Marketing Services (Atlantic) Ltd.

WWW.FENETY.COM www.rnca.ca 9 Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association WWHATHAT IISS PRESCRIPTIONPRESCRIPTION DRUGDRUG ABUSE?ABUSE? Prescription drug abuse occurs when someone takes a medical drug that was not prescribed for them or they take it in a different manner than it was supposed to be taken. Most people who abuse a prescription drug take more of the drug than a person who takes it for medical purposes. Abusers will build up tolerances to most drugs, meaning that it takes more and more of a drug to produce the same effect. After a while, the abuser may be taking much larger doses than normal. And a person abusing a drug may change its form, for example, they may crush a pill or dissolve a drug so they can inject it. This helps the drug reach the bloodstream faster and have faster effects, such as euphoria and a sedated feeling or perhaps increased confidence and increased activity, depending on the type of drug being abused.

www.rnca.ca 10 Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association I think my family member may have an issue with substance use. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
The most important thing to do is be there for your friend or family member if s/he needs to talk. It is important to remind yourself that you cannot fix it, but you can support your friend if s/he chooses to get help. It can be really tough to watch a friend or loved one struggle with addiction. Remind yourself of the four C’s: you didn’t create it, you didn’t cause it, you can’t cure it and you can’t control it. If your loved one is not ready to make changes with his/her substance use, you can still seek support for yourself so that you can learn how to cope and take care of yourself. Having the support of family members and/or friends may help people feel more supported to take steps toward treatment. Here are some simple things to start with: • Raise your concerns with the person and let him or • Find out about available treatment programs and tell her know you are available to listen; the person about them; and, • Provide factual information about the consequences or • Learn about the nature of drug abuse and addiction to give concerns associated with their substance use.

In April 2017, RNCA members in Wabush, Newfoundland and Labrador had the privilege of supporting a Mental Health Week event in Labrador City. The event, called “Mental Health Break” took place on April 25th and was hosted by the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and Menihek High School. It marked the beginning of the 66th Annual Canadian Mental Health Association’s Mental Health Week - May 1st to 7th.
Guest Speaker Danielle MacPherson, from Halifax, gave junior and senior high students and staff an open and candid talk about her struggles with Mental Health. Audience members were captivated by Danielle’s journey from a high school cheerleader to a University varsity athlete to a drug addict. Danielle spoke about how she had attempted suicide several times and subsequently became involved in criminal activity. Despite her struggles, Danielle was able to gain strength and turn a negative into a positive and ultimately created an inspiring life. She received her university degree in Psychology from the University of Cape Breton with a diploma in Mental Illness and Addiction Counselling. Today, Danielle is one-year drug-and-alcohol free and the first female graduate of Nova Scotia’s Court Monitored Drug Treatment Program. We thank Daniele for sharing her story and inspiring others!

The Labrador City-Wabush Rotary Club participated in a Bike Safety Rodeo along with the Canadian Tire Jump Start Program and handed out bike helmets to the participants. They also checked to ensure the children’s bicycles fit and gave away several new bicycles at the Rodeo (Thanks to the Canadian Tire-Jump Start program).
Labrador City-Wabush Rotary Club in conjunction with the RNC provided bike helmets to each of the 125 kindergarten children in Cst. Peter Kelly, Community Western Labrador. Pictured from left to right: Cst. Krista Miller; Services Officer, ensuring that the Ms. Rose Neville - Principal of A P Low Elementary children have the proper sized (Labrador City); and Dion Temple - Vice President of helmets for the road. Rotary Club. Inspector For A Day - Labrador West
During Police Week 2017, members in Labrador West wanted to do something to acknowledge four-year-old Bradley Dumaresque’s love for the Police. Bradley has told every officer that he has met that he wants to be a Policeman when he grows up; he even dressed up as a Police Officer for Halloween with his parents as jail birds. Bradley always waves and smiles when he sees the Police vehicles driving down the road and he knows all the Police Unit numbers. Although he cannot drive yet, he does have a mini police battery operated car that he drives around in his driveway. Inspector Sean Ennis honoured him with being “Commanding Officer in Charge” and named him Inspector Bradley Dumaresque for the day. Congratulations, Bradley!

On Wednesday, September 20, 2017, at 11.00 a.m., the Memorial on Parade Commemorative project committee unveiled a Memorial Parkette in front of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Memorial Campus (once known as the Memorial building on Parade Street).
The Memorial on Parade Commemorative Parkette honours the three institutions which have occupied the building since it was opened in 1924; namely, the Memorial University College (and Memorial University since 1949); the College of Fisheries, from 1964-1985 and the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, the present day occupants.
The Memorial on Parade Commemorative Parkette honors the fact that Memorial obtained its name from those who died in WWI, WWII and in other conflicts since. To honour that fact, a plaque was mounted at the entrance to coincide with the re-opening of the RNC Memorial Campus in September, 2015. On September 20, 2017, a caribou head, set in granite and the words, “Lest We Forget”, was unveiled within the Parkette.
