Constables Ben Hayward and Ronnie Randhawa are lead on all initiatives related to mental health within the community that we serve. The Mental Health Liaison role is vital to ensure that vulnerable people with significant mental health challenges are able to use the transit system safely.
Cst. Hayward and Cst. Randhawa offers support and mentoring to Transit Police officers, to ensure they have the skills and resources to provide effective help. They manages files where there are repeated calls to police regarding the same individual, and creates solution-oriented policing strategies by working together with a variety of healthcare and community outreach partners to assist those people at their point of need.
Constable Rylan Armstrong uses tactics such as enforcement, intervention, education, and collaboration with the community and policing partners to help keep youth on and around the transit system safe. He engages with young people to build trust and positive relationships between youth and police to empower them to play a role in their own safety and to lead those at risk to a path away from criminal behaviour. Cst. Armstrong draws on his prior experience as a Deputy Sheriff at Robson Square Youth Court, where he collaborated with partners in the youth justice system when working with high-risk young offenders.
Constable Kirk Rattray draws on his Tahltan First Nation heritage to build meaningful relationships with Indigenous youth, and those interested in learning about Indigenous culture. He first launched a cadet program while serving with the Stl’atl’imx Tribal Police, and then brought that experience to Transit Police, creating the Blue Eagle Community Cadets program. With the cadets, Cst. Rattray participates in Indigenous events, such as the annual Pulling Together Canoe Journey
