RCMP Constable Andreas Seidemann, M.S.M., Eston, Sask.
Meritorious Service Medal (civil division)
In July 1993, Cst Seidemann was assigned to a nine-year-old sexual molestation case. Over the next four and a half years, Cst Seidemann’s determination in the pursuit of a suspect uncovered a lengthy trail encompassing a total of 55 aliases, throughout Canada and Europe. Despite limited training in Major Case Management Techniques, Cst Seidemann’s tenacity resulted in locating and arresting the elusive suspect. His excellent work has been directly attributed to the successful conviction of the suspect and his designation as a dangerous offender, permanently removing him as a threat to society.
