On August 10, 2016, RCMP Constable Kyle Josey was instrumental in putting an end to a terrorist threat in Strathroy, Ontario. Constable Josey and his team were responding to a tip from the FBI concerning a potential terrorist attack. They arrived on the scene and heard the suspect yelling threats from the back of a taxi. Constable Josey ordered his fellow agents back just as the suspect partially detonated a bomb. As the suspect attempted to flee, Constable Josey approached the vehicle and, fearing that the man would detonate a second explosive, he took appropriate action to neutralize the threat.
