Fifty years ago Friday (March 29), Surrey RCMP Const. Roger Pierlet was shot and killed while patrolling Surrey, on 176 Street in Cloverdale.
It’s a sombre anniversary for the detachment, as Pierlet was working his last shift before taking time off to be married.
“He noticed a vehicle being driven erratically and stopped the vehicle,” says a post on Surrey RCMP’s Facebook page.
