A great story about the member we dedicated our website to. RIP CHRISTINE.

One of the most emotional moments in Canadian policing history came when an injured officer stood from his wheelchair to salute the colleague who had trained him.

That colleague was Constable Christine Diotte.

On March 12, 2002, Christine was helping establish warnings at a rollover accident west of Banff, Alberta, when another vehicle lost control on the icy highway and struck her and fellow Constable David Davis.

Christine died from her injuries. She was only 35.

David survived but suffered serious injuries.

Six days later, despite his pain, he travelled from Calgary to Banff to attend Christine's funeral. Wearing his Red Serge, he rose from his wheelchair and gave his training officer one final salute.

Christine had dreamed of joining the RCMP. She also volunteered with victim services and helped educate young people through the DARE program.

Her life was defined not only by the uniform she wore but by the people she helped and the colleagues she inspired.

Rest in peace, Constable Christine Diotte. Canada remembers your service and sacrifice. 🇨🇦❤️
