Vancouver Police Members engaged in fund raising for New York City disaster relief. Photo taken and supplied by my good friend Rick Streifel

Sgt Steve Gibson and Cst Todd Catchpole came up with the idea of raising funds for the families of New York City Police Officers killed in the Sepember 11, 2001 World Trade Center disaster.  A commemorative decal was commissioned and donated by Associated Labels (1-800-661-4764).  Police members in Vancouver have donated their time to sell the decals (by donation only) and to date have raised in excess of $125,000 which will be sent to New York.  One man emptied his pockets for a decal and appologized that he had nothing more at this time (his donation was $248).  I also purchased a decal specifically to scan and put on my page as a dedication not only to brothers-in-arms lost, but to the tremendous effort of my colleagues in their endevour.  Sgt Gibson and Cst Cathpole also operate a website dedicated to police memorial at ( www.policememorial.ca )
