It's been two decades since the worst-ever murder in Canadian law enforcement history.

James Roszko ambushed the officers in Mayerthorpe , killing them with a semi-automatic rifle before shooting himself in the chest on March 3, 2005 .

“It’s a tragedy that has not been forgotten, nor should it be. Those lives were lost. Those families, their lives changed forever. And any impact on law enforcement never goes away,” says Trevor Daroux .

Before Mayerthorpe , there were no specialized emergency response teams.

Now, there are three teams.

Real-time operations centre provides oversight and support for operations on a real-time basis.

Drones eliminate the need for people to go through the bush , to chase someone down, where a drone can actually do that much more safely.
