Coquitlam's top cop is going to jail.
It's for a good cause, though.
Supt. Sean Maloney, officer in charge of the Coquitlam RCMP detachment, will join local mayors and community leaders in the 2018 Jail and Bail event to help raise funds for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Coast bicycle ride.
Jail and Bail will be held on the top floor of Coquitlam Centre Mall next Tuesday, May 1, from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Contributions will be sought to secure "freedom" for the community leaders, including Maloney.
"We're hoping this year's Jail and Bail will raise over $10,000 for a great cause," said Const. Pamela Newman, one of four Coquitlam RCMP riders participating in this year's ride in a press release.
It's the 11th edition of the event, which sees the money going to pediatric cancer research and special programs like Camp Goodtimes.
Other detachment officers participating in the ride from Sept. 19 to 27 are Const. David Bachtel, Const. Laura Baker and Cpl. Neil Roemer.
