Thompson RCMP have received the award for their role in Project Northern Doorway.

Special Constable Robert Cleveland went to Chicago last week to receive the award from the International Association of Chiefs of Police, on behalf of the detachment, but he says the award is for everyone involved in the program:

"With all the stakeholders involved, those people were all recognized, and how the RCMP along with the community and the community partners, and community entities all came together as a unified unit to work with the homelessness population"  

It was announced that Thompson RCMP would be recognized in the population fewer than 20,000 residents category back in September.
