Incident response team

Sarnia police have taken over $300,000 worth of illegal drugs off the street following a major bust yesterday.

Members of the Drug and Intelligence Unit, Emergency Response Team and K-9 Unit raided multiple locations across the city.

Officers seized four kilograms of crystal meth.

a kilogram of cocaine, various prescription pills, and over $150,000 in cash.

We are going to be focusing this roundtable around the topic of mental health.

and also talking about the emergency response team.

And I will actually let Amy go ahead and get more into that.

So go ahead.

Yeah, I'm sorry that I failed to mention that I am a member of the second class of the emergency response team.

So far, I've been out on four different deployments, one of which was a suicide.

It was kind of a difficult one to maneuver simply because every motion that we have when we're responding to something or the carriers that were left in that office to deal with how they were feeling brought up their own feelings.

Maybe they may not want to talk to me today.

I was like, okay, this is for me.

So I went to see a troop mate out in BC, talked to the sergeant in charge of the IRT team, I'm like, this is what I want to do.

He's like, Ben, like you got to come back.

You got to transfer and you got to come to the lower mainland.
