One of the duties of a police officer is to notify the next of kin of the death of a loved one. This is a difficult duty that our police officers take very seriously. The RCMP takes all steps to ensure that the notification is done in a timely and sensitive manner. However, before notifying the next of kin, the RCMP must first establish the positive identification of the deceased. In some cases this requires that we go beyond what may seem to be the obvious and ensure that we have no doubt as to the identity of the deceased. We understand fully that the family members and friends of the deceased want to know of the tragic news as soon as possible but nothing could be worse than being given incorrect information.
