The Drumheller RCMP’s newest officer, Sara Rayat, has only been with the detachment for a little over a month, but has quickly grown fond of the valley.
After graduating from the RCMP training depot in Regina on February 11, Constable Rayat packed her belongings and took a flight to Calgary, starting her first posting as an RCMP officer on February 17.
“The people are really friendly here,” said Constable Rayat. “It’s a nice town, I like it.”
Constable Rayat was raised in London, Ontario where she grew up and attended university for geographic information systems (GIS).
After university, she worked for the municipal government serving the county of Middlesex as a GIS and planning technician.
Upon hearing about a job posting to join the RCMP from her father, Constable Rayat attended an information session which steered her in the direction of law enforcement.
“I realized what you can do in this job, and I decided to join,” said Constable Rayat.
