Some members of the Fort Frances OPP Auxiliary were recognized yesterday by the Fort Frances Police Services Board.
Among them, Murray Alexander, who became an auxiliary officer nine years ago and now serves as an Auxiliary Sergeant Major with the OPP's Northwest Unit.
"I've always like the policing side of it," says Alexander. "It just gave me an opportunity to get on with the police and give back to the community. It's a great job and a lot of fun."
There are approximately 35 auxiliary members throughout northwestern Ontario.
