Smiths Falls OPP Officer to receive Canadian Bank Law Enforcement Award

In less than six months, four Ontario banks in Sault Ste. Marie, Cambridge, Sudbury and Stittsville were targeted by a gang of armed robbers. At each incident the criminals would smash their way through the front entrance of the bank. Then, after demanding cash from the bank employees, the masked bandits would flee the scene. Detective Constable Jay Brodie, East Region OPP devoted extraordinary hours coordinating, compiling and comparing evidence from all the robberies collected by seven different police departments in Quebec and Ontario. The arrest of the robbery gang was executed quickly, safely and successfully due to Brodie’s research and dedication. He will be given the Canadian Banks Law Enforcement Award.
