Cst. Alexandre Bonesso decided to make a difference when he began his policing career with the New Brunswick RCMP during the summer of 2016. He observed that not all of the local children wore helmets when out riding their bicycles so he determined to partner with the community to raise awareness about this potential safety issue.
Cst. Bonesso received support from the band and the local Canadian Tire outlet. He secured enough helmets so that each child in kindergarten through grade six had access to one. The helmets were delivered at a community event where a bicycle safety awareness presentation was provided by Cst. Bonesso.
