I would like to thank Cst. Danielle Lohmann's great help after a car accident in Dec 2020. On Dec 22, 2020 I was driving on Highway 2 to Sylvan Lake from Edmonton for ice fishing. My mom and my little daughter (3 years old) were on the car with me. My SUV suddenly lost control after a left turn 4km before Lacome on Highway 2. It hit the cable barriers and stopped. Since that was my first time to experience such a big accident, I was really in panic. Luckily no one got injured. I got out my car and didn't know what to do. Cst. Lohmann stopped her RCMP police vehicle by the accident location in a couple minutes. She let us stay in our car and told us it was very dangerous staying beside a highway. After she checked my car and confirmed it was un-drivable. She let us get into the back seats of her police vehicle. She even helped move my daughter's car seat to her police car. In her vehicle she let me filled some accident record forms and let me call someone to pick up us from Lacombe. Then she arranged Popow Auto Recycling to tow my car. After my car was towed onto the platform of a towing truck to Lacombe, she gave us a ride to Tim Hortons and explained instructions what to do next. In the whole process, Cst. Lohmann was always friendly, professional and skillful. It released my panic very much. I couldn't imagine what more serious accident I could have got if without her nice help and instructions. I really appreciate her help from my heart.
Friend of mine was getting harassed my a man and the people answering the phone and the officer in charge of the case were able to empathize with her and work with her to get started on getting help
Its so easy to get burned out in this line of work but glad to see some people do care. Even more so in smaller communities.
My recent interaction with the Officers of the Blackfalds RCMP was nothing short of excellent. Professional, courteous, helpful, and most of all caring of a family member in dire need of help. I am very thankful for their help.
Those of you who give poor reviews based on the fact that your need for "instant" service from an overworked police force did not get "instantly" met... well, you need to grow up.
