Retired Sudbury Detective Sergeant Jordan Buchanan joins 10-5 The Official Podcast of the OPP Association to speak about his service with Sudbury Police and his secondment to OPP GHQ working with the early start up of the Violent Crime Linkage Analysis System, known as the ViCLAS, in the 1990's. He also touches on his experience as a Forensic Polygraph Examiner, and his newly released fictional novel "Past Ghosts Echoed" that is based on real cases and policing in Sudbury. Some of the themes of the cases in the book relate to an unsolved line of duty death of a police officer, using DNA to solve a cold case and a biker gang investigation.

Sherri deGroot and Joe Evans are Board Members of the OPP Youth Foundation. They join 10-5 The Official Podcast of the OPP Association to discuss the Pathway of Memories and Milestones.

Each September a large gathering of OPP members, veterans and friends witness the dedication ceremony of the newest donated memory stones for that year.

Each day the Pathway of Memories and Milestones is witness to visitors and members making time to reflect on the messages and names inscribed on the stones.

The inscriptions on the memory and milestone stones donated by members, friends and colleagues, reflect expressions of pride, friendships, love and careers… creating lasting memories.

The funds raised are used to provide funding for our support of youth in need across the province.

The site will accommodate more memory and milestone stones for many years to come and we continue to accept donations until June 30, 2025 for new Memory and Milestone Stones that will be installed on the site in the spring of 2025, and inducted at the ceremony at the ceremony on September 8th, 2025.
