“In March, 1997 a Community Police Advisory Panel was formed. Interested Community Citizens started out with the best interests of the South Cowichan Community at heart, and the realization that the Police alone cannot maintain a sense of Community pride without the assistance of those who live in it and care for it”. (Quote from an article written to the South Cowichan Life in Feb 1998)
