"During the rescue, a drone was flown dangerously close to our team and the helicopter - between loads. It only moved after being signaled to leave the area," it said on a post on Facebook.

The New Westminster School District is in the process of bringing back its school police liaison officer program after a unanimous vote by trustees on Tuesday night. Coun. Paul Minhas believes the decision by the school board is a good one, as he's always advocated for the return of the program after it was phased out four years ago. Minhas says that the unanimous decision by school board trustees shows it is the right move.
