Royal Canadian Mounted Police: Emerson — Manitoba RCMP and U.S. Border Patrol host border and migrant safety event

Emerson — Manitoba RCMP and U.S. Border Patrol host border and migrant safety event

Manitoba RCMP officers and agents from United States Border Patrol met first in Pembina, North Dakota and then at Emerson, MB to talk about border safety and showcase some of the equipment used in preventing border incursions. The border between Canada and the United States is the world's longest undefended border. The RCMP in Manitoba is responsible for approximately 520 kilometres of shared border. While people and technology are in place on both sides of the border to protect it, people do still cross illegally.
