Saddle Up! Clearwater RCMP Bike Rodeo coming

Second annual bicycle safety event for kids to be held May 25

On May 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Clearwater RCMP will be hosting the second annual Bike Rodeo at the Clearwater Sportsplex!

The purpose of the Bike Rodeo event is to provide the community youth with the opportunity to learn about road safety in a fun environment.

Last year, police did helmet fitting, bike safety checks, rules of the road, as well as several bike safety obstacles. Youth from ages three to 13 are encouraged to participate in the event.

Detachment members also had a registration set up as well as several baskets of prizes.

Domestic assault

On Wednesday, April 17, Clearwater RCMP responded to an abandoned 911 call at a residence in Clearwater.

Police investigation resulted in one male being arrested for domestic assault. The female complainant reported that she was struck by her common law husband during a fight.

The male was charged with assault and has been given a court appearance in Clearwater Provincial Court.
