With 23 years of service with the RCMP and all of it on Vancouver Island, Sgt. Cook is truly at home.
He has worked in six detachments including Nanaimo, Powell River, North Cowichan/Duncan, Alert Bay, Sidney/North Saanich and now Shawnigan Lake. He comes with experience in various uniform capacities including – General Duty, Traffic and Crime Reduction as well as plain-clothes positions such as Property Crime, Street Crime and General Investigation Section. In Powell River, he also had the opportunity to oversee operations for Texada Island, a satellite detachment. Most recently he was the Operations Non-Commissioned Officer for Sidney/North Saanich Detachment, however was previously a Detachment Commander in Alert Bay.
I’ve been fortunate in that we have a had a detachment vessel in five of my six detachments and I have had the opportunity to experience various degrees of marine policing. I have also been an active member of the Vancouver Island Tactical Troop since 2009 which has given me the chance to travel across the country, whether it be for training, public order issues or security for major events, said Sgt. Cook.

Since he’s been in the role, he said I find the communities of Shawnigan Lake, Mill Bay, Cobble Hill and the Malahat First Nation extremely welcoming to myself and supportive of our members. The communities work very well together and with our detachment to bring forward policing priorities. They genuinely appreciate the efforts of the local RCMP. The members and support staff here are an excellent group. They are up-beat, positive and overwhelmingly helpful to community members and to their co-workers.

While Shawnigan Lake is primarily a General Duty detachment, it works to the advantage of our members who are seeking to expand their skill-set and experience as they are exposed to all varieties of investigations and roles, said Sgt. Cook.

Shawnigan Lake is one of the most versatile detachments I have encountered. It is a unique combination of both rural and urban policing. While working here feels very much like ‘small town policing’, we are not short on calls for service. Members balance their time between their investigations and participating in community-based initiatives and events, he adds.
