Thankfully that’s not the case. We followed the lone coyote out of the area. And the same cat was seen doing it’s rounds in the parking lot again this early morning!
1/2: On Wednesday afternoon, we received a 9-1-1 call - nothing was heard or said. It turns out it was a distress call from a man whose motorized wheelchair flipped into an embankment off Barnet Hwy, partially trapping him. Soon after, officers located him & pulled him to safety.
We are so proud to serve of the citizens of Port Moody - it's why we wear the badge. We found this candid photo of a PMPD patrol officer helping a lost senior find her way home (2019) and thought it might also bring a smile your face!
