The Prince George Crime Stopper Society named its police officer and RCMP watch of the year on Monday.
Cpl. Kyle Trask, supervisor of the detachment's downtown safety unit, was named officer of the year.
"Over the past year, Cpl. Trask's resilience and determination has led to successful arrests in a number of investigations as a result of following up on Crime Stopper tip information," PGCSS said.
"As an example, Cpl. Trask tracked and arrested a man wanted for a sexual assault of a teenaged girl a number of years ago.
"The tip had just enough information to lead
Cpl. Trask down a trail of bread crumbs to the suspect. His extra effort and out-of-the-box thinking is the reason the suspect was located."
Prince George RCMP's B watch, led by Staff
Sgt. Marc Pelletier, was named watch of the year for the third successive time after once again producing the most arrests from Crime Stopper tips among the detachment's four watches.
