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.
