When police officers are killed in the line of duty, and in recent months this has happened far too frequently in Canada, the families of the officers grieve their loss often in the public spotlight. As well, if criminal charges are laid against an accused in the death of a police officer, families must wait sometimes for years for a court judgment against an accused.

Guest: Jason Harnett. Brother to Calgary Police Service Sergeant Andrew Harnett, killed New Year's Eve 2020 when dragged by a vehicle during a roadside sobriety test. The individual driving the vehicle was convicted of manslaughter last November and will face a sentencing hearing late next month. He was 17 at the time of the incident and cannot be named because of that.
