For this week, Ric Hall has selected the photographic theme of “A Tough Duty.”

 

 

 

 

While stationed at smaller Detachments and outposts, members had to carry out many non-police related duties.  When time permitted, members at these isolated posts had the opportunity to do a little fishing in the Force’s water craft.  Following photographs will bring back memories for many.
