Securing Our Community... Strengthening Our Commitment
PRESIDENT’S message
It is with great pleasure that I present the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association Annual Community Guide for 2020. I wish to extend our sincere thank you to the citizens and businesses in our province who continue to provide their support of this public safety awareness guide. This year’s Community Guide discusses potential challenges of the legalization of cannabis through its theme of Cannabis Awareness. We hope that the information contained within this Community Guide will serve as a useful tool for discussion with you and your loved ones. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Association is proud to support community organizations in our province who work to promote the safety and well-being of our residents. This year, we are very pleased to make a contribution from the proceeds of this year’s community guide to Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) - Newfoundland and Labrador. MADD’s mission is to “stop impaired driving and to support victims of this violent crime”. They presently have over 100 Chapters and Community Leaders and 7,500 volunteers across Canada who deliver their programs and services. We encourage you to visit their website, www.madd.ca, to learn more about their work! We hope that you will find this Community Guide a valuable resource in discussions with your loved ones.

If you’re unfamiliar with cannabis packaging, understanding all the information on the label can be confusing. Find out what everything means and what to be aware of.
Cannabis labels list the date that the cannabis was packaged. Health Canada strictly regulates the packaging and labelling This packaging date is not indicative of when the product requirements for legal recreational cannabis products. was harvested but rather when the finished product was Therefore, licensed producers are required to share a lot placed and sealed in its final packaging. Expiry dates, which of information about their product directly on the are directionally used to communicate the stability of the packaging. While this makes for a busy label, it’s also one product in regards to potency, are not mandatory in Health that contains all the information you need to understand Canada regulations, so some licensed producers will what you are buying. And, because the labeling is consistent provide them, but many do not. for every product, if you understand one, you’ll understand them all. Product Weight Cannabis labels have many of the standard elements you’d see on any product such as barcodes and brand logos in addition to storage information and health warnings. There are also a few unique items that warrant special attention: Strain Types
While the weight of the product on the label may seem self-explanatory, it’s worth knowing that Health Canada does allow for slight weight variances in dried flower weight. The allowable variance is up to 10 per cent for products containing less than 2 grams, and 5 per cent for 2 grams or more. So, if you were to weigh your cannabis straight out of the package you may notice a slightly higher or lower amount than specified. There are three main categories of cannabis strains: indica, sativa and hybrid. Each category has its own unique characteristics, which you can learn about here. Some cannabis labels may indicate what kind of strain category the product belongs to as well as the specific strain name given by the producer.

As the two cannabinoids primarily responsible for the Understanding Cannabinoid Content effects of cannabis, CBD and THC content must be on Product Labels displayed on every product label. To help consumers make informed decisions, they are shown two ways.
What’s the difference between the two numbers?
First, it’s important to know that cannabinoids are only activated by heat over 150 degrees Celsius - a process called decarboxylation. So, in its natural state, cannabis has a low level of active cannabinoids. When cannabis is decarboxylated, either through heating or processing, its cannabinoid levels increase. If you are like most people, you want to understand the cannabinoid content in the products you consider. Every On package labels, the first numbers, listed as “THC” and/or product is different in its variations and levels of “CBD”, represent the active cannabinoid levels in the cannabinoids, so it’s a good thing that every product label cannabis as purchased.

The result is that people consume more before they feel the full effects.
Store all cannabis products safely, keeping them out of reach of children, youth and pets. This is particularly important for edible cannabis, which may be mistaken for regular food or drinks.

How risky is driving after cannabis use?
Estimates vary on the relative risk of crash associated with cannabis use. While there needs to be additional research in this area, studies and surveys over the past several years do indicate an increased risk of crash following cannabis use.

www.rnca.ca 80 Cannabis in the Workplace (continued)
What does a good impairment policy include?
All workplaces should have a drug and alcohol policy that addresses the potential for cannabis impairment in the workplace. The policy should:
• Include mechanisms for identifying and reporting impairment (self, others) • Outline arrangements for confidentiality • State if an item or substance is allowed on the premise, and if so, under what circumstances • Provide training to employees, supervisors and managers • List any available assistance, such as an Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) or other resources • If applicable, describe under what circumstances drug testing will be administered • Explain how disciplinary action will be taken, when necessary • Describe when accommodation will be considered
As well, human rights laws in most jurisdictions require that employers accommodate employees with medical needs or disabilities (including disabilities from substance dependence).
How do I recognize if someone is impaired?
Signs that someone may be impaired at work include:
• Personality changes or erratic behaviour, such as more interpersonal conflicts or overreacting to criticism • Odour of alcohol or drugs on their breath or clothes • Glassy or red eyes, unsteady gait, slurring, poor cooordination • Consistent lateness, absenteeism or reduced productivity or quality of work
The effects of cannabis on the body can include:
• Dizziness, drowsiness, fatigue, headache • Impaired memory, and disturbances in attention, concentration and ability to think and make decisions • Disorientation, confusion, feeling abnormal or having abnormal thoughts, feelings of unreality, feeling an extreme slowing of time • Impairment of motor skills and perception
The effects and length of impairment can differ from person to person and depends on several variables, including how the cannabis was consumed (e.g., inhaled or eaten), how much was consumed, and the concentration of active ingredients, such as THC (a chemical which causes the high) and CBD.

Memorial to Constable William Moss www.freepik.com On the threshold of his career as a police officer, Constable William Moss died as a consequence of a violent, physical clash at Badger on March 10, 1959 between police officers (both Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Newfoundland Constabulary) and loggers during the International Woodworkers of America loggers’ strike. Constable Moss is the first member of the Newfoundland Constabulary to have died from injuries sustained in the course of duty since Confederation. On May 12, 1971 Vida Hounsell of Glovertown, mother of the late Constable Moss, unveiled a commemorative plaque in his honor during special ceremonies at the old Newfoundland Constabulary headquarters at Fort Townshend. On July 31, 2013, the people of Badger unveiled the Badger Monument (Located at the corner of River Road and Beothuck Street, Badger). The Badger Monument is a fitting and permanent tribute to represent two significant events: First, to Honour the memory of Constable William Moss, a member of the Newfoundland Constabulary (as the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary was then known), who died in the line of duty. Secondly, to note a major turning-point in the history of labour relations in Newfoundland and Labrador. (Source: The Newfoundland and Labrador Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Site) History of the Constable William Moss Softball Tournament The Constable William Moss Minor Softball Tournament was inaugurated in 1980 through the personal efforts of Constable Gary Browne, Mr. Peter Harvey, President of Softball Newfoundland Labrador, and Ms. Jen Adams of the Cabot Street Recreation Association. The Constable Moss Memorial Tournament began in 1980 with just four St. John’s inter-city teams. In just a few short years, the event had become, as it is to this day, the premier boys’ and girls’ tournament in our province, with as many as 30 teams participating. The tournament quickly far surpassed all police and community expectations relating to the breaking down of barriers between law enforcement members and youth.

Each Halloween, RNC Association members across our province ensure the safety of little trick-or-treaters by patrolling the streets, delivering safety talks in schools, and reminding motorists to use caution. The RNC Association is proud to supply treat bags to our members to pass out to the little ghouls and boys in our communities on Halloween night!
RNC Constable F. Crewe was the special Mystery Guest for Mme. Squires's Grade 2 Class at Octagon Pond Elementary on October 30, 2019. Cst. Crewe spoke about the role of a police officer and had a Halloween safety discussion with the students. After the presentation, Cst. Crewe handed out treat bags and stickers to each of the students!
RNC Association Executive Board Director Constable Smith was busy while on patrol ensuring all trick-or-treaters were safe; including this little one who received their very first RNCA Halloween treat bag!
