Medal - Changes to the Two-Year Limit
On December 7th, 2007, MP Rick Norlock held a
Press Conference at our station advising that the Prime
Minister was changing the two year rule on the Cross
of Valour application. The rule will state that applications
must be submitted two years after any court case
or investigation is completed.
With this new rule put in place, this
allows for Cst. Chris Garrett's nomination to now be
reviewed by the Honours Committee.
Even though we have crossed a major hurdle
towards getting Cst. Chris Garrett the Cross of Valour,
there is still a ways to go.
All of your continued support towards
this cause is much appreciated and also thanks to our
Prime Minister for acting quickly once everything got
to him.

Garrett's nomination are on the 221 Tribute section

Early Friday morning, July 3 at approximately 12:30 a.m., Cobourg Police were called to a Havelock Street residence to investigate the report of an assault.
The investigation resulted in the arrest of a 44 year old resident. The accused allegedly was having an argument with his teenage son when the man’s 41 year old female partner got between them in hopes of stopping the argument and was pushed into some furniture.
The couple then went downstairs where the accused punched the female several times in the face and then pushed her to the floor.
She suffered a swollen upper lip and bloody nose.
The accused has been charged with assault and held in custody pending a bail hearing.
On Wednesday, July 1, over 30 tickets were issued for violations under the Liquor Licence Act. Most offences were for possession of alcohol and public intoxication.
