RCMP Detachment in Flin Flon, Manitoba.
Flin Flon RCMP officers required the use of a Conducted Energy Weapon (CEW) on a male suspect after the man threatened the officers while they were in the detachment.
On April 19, 2021, at approximately 11:45pm, two RCMP officers were working at the RCMP detachment in Flin Flon, Manitoba when they heard a strong, rapid knocking on the locked front door. Officers inside the building said it sounded like someone was attempting to punch through the door. At this point, one of the officers went to the front window to look outside, but could not see anyone. The other officer then went to the locked employee entrance at the side of the detachment and opened it to look outside.
