LANGFORD, B.C. — A service will be held today to mark the first anniversary of a Victoria-area RCMP officer’s death after a collision involving an alleged drunk driver.

Sarah Beckett died on April 5, 2016 when her cruiser was hit broadside by a truck in Langford, outside Victoria.

The 32-year-old married mother of two young boys had been a Mountie for 11 years and was serving with the West Shore detachment at the time of her death.

Today’s noon-hour service in Langford will be held outside the detachment, and the public is welcome to attend.
