Hello Mr Sterrit,
I reviewed your below correspondence and have reviewed the file. I have not spoken to the officers involved as they are on days off. I understand that a suspicious circumstance was reported (ie. you were suspected of trespassing on someone's property). Cst. CANUEL appears to be the one who was assigned the file and Cst. FLETT was the back up officer. The complainant in this case advised he believed it was you who trespassed on his property and was not sure what you were doing or why you were on their property. Our officers simply attended to your location to confirm your identity and you obviously provided an explanation in which they were satisfied with. Our file /investigation was concluded as such. If you have other information for me as to the conduct of the officers, then you must relay that to me so I can deal with it. If you feel you must make a public complaint, you are well aware you are well within your right to do this as well.
I will not be addressing this with Mayor Alice Maitland as you are requesting. She is not the complainant in this matter and the fact that she may be related to the complainant does not involve her as far as I am concerned.
As for Sonny's threats to Peter; are they threats against you or was Peter threatened? Please clarify this. If Sonny threatened harm to you through Peter, then Peter needs to be the one to provide us a witness statement so we can determine the nature of the threats and whether it meets the criteria/threshold for a criminal charge approval. If Peter is the victim and was threatened by Sonny, again Peter would need to contact us and provide a statement as to the nature of the threats.
With respect to your land claim, I can only re-iterate that the claim process should be initiated through the courts. Perhaps the Gitxsan Treaty Office could provide you assistance in that regard?
