An eight year old boy from the Burin Peninsula recently had his dream come true. Conor Matthews had an unforgettable experience when RCMP showed up at his home in December and asked him to report for duty as their Constable-for-a-Day. The young boy was diagnosed with a form of brain cancer in 2024. Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey says through his surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, he shared his dream of joining the RCMP one day. Under the guidance of Constable Jessie Collins and RCMP Safety Bear, his first shift began with a safety patrol at his school. Standing proudly with his brother and RCMP officers, he held signs reminding drivers to “Please Slow Down” and “Be Kind.”
The next stop was a full tour of the detachment, including the police vehicles. Conor even had his own desk assigned for the day.)
Later in the day, Conor responded to a call at a community centre where he made his very first arrest — The Grinch himself was caught causing trouble!
