The Steinbach R.C.M.P. detachment was well represented at the funerals of 2 slain colleagues in Saskatchewan.  Staff Sergeant Jake Hiebert and 3 of his officers attended the funeral in Regina earlier this week while 3 other members were at the funeral near Saskatoon last week.  Both officers were gunned down while attending to a domestic dispute in Spiritwood, Saskatchewan.  He says the funerals were sombre moments that remind police of the risks they face every day.  And Hiebert adds there is no question such an incident could happen in the Steinbach area.  He is constantly reminding officers not to let down their guard and to be aware of the locations in our area that pose a high risk.
