CACP Index Summer 2014 his spring, our hearts were heavy with sadness as we mourned the loss of three police officers who were killed in the line of duty in Moncton. It is yet another reminder of how fleeting life can be. To the families of the fallen and the injured, we extend our sympathies. To police officers across the country, we say thank T you for the work that you do, and for the risks that you take. We are fortunate that most Canadians value their police and hold them in high esteem. In our leadership roles we strive to meet the needs of our communities, and to provide our members with the professional development, resources and tools to ensure they can do their jobs effectively, and safely. The CACP is pleased to support you by providing learning opportunities, and research tailored to your needs. I am proud of the significant strides the CACP has made in establishing and improving relationships with government, private industry, and non-governmental organizations. In the past few months we have been able to support the introduction of cyber-bullying and child sexual exploitation legislation and a victims bill of rights.
