1 Year Later Series from Bank Robbery and Shooting - Sgt. Laurie White

September 09, 2023 • Matt Waterman/Laurie White • Season 3 • Episode 17

Hear the amazing story of Retired Sergeant Laurie White (RCMP) and her struggles to survive and persevere after being shot on duty in November 1998 while serving a search warrant at a residence in Kitimat, BC. She was air lifted to Vancouver and due to severe damage to her right leg Laurie awoke to finding out that her leg had been amputated just below her right knee. After ten painful months and numerous failures she was able to return to full uniform duty with the RCMP in Kitimat.

Now 25 years later, Laurie is a proud mother of 2 children and retired from policing. She also talks about her connections and willingness to share her story with Victoria and Saanich Police Officers who suffered gunshot wounds on 28 June 2022. Her book “10-33 An Officer Down Steps Back Up” is an emotional memoir and highly recommended for supporters of law enforcement everywhere.
