Little is known of Don Shervill, but he had a most varied police career and never seemed to be out of work. Born in England in 1892, Shervill immigrated to Canada at the age of eighteen. In 1912, he worked as a prison guard at Prince Albert Penitentiary. Then he joined the Royal Canadian Northwest Mounted Police and served a five-year engagement with the federal force in Lethbridge and Macleod, Alberta. Shervill next obtained a position as a constable with the short-lived Saskatchewan Provincial Police.

On June 12, 1928, he became a member of the OPP. Constable Shervill was stationed out of St. Thomas and then moved to District #3 Headquarters in Hamilton. Along the way, he also found time to be high constable first of Elgin, and then of Wentworth, Counties.

Shortly before midnight on February 8, 1938, PC Shervill was working at Orchard Beach, six miles east of Hamilton. Shervill was looking for the persons responsible for break-ins at cottages in that area when he literally bumped into a man standing in the shadows.

The forty-six-year-old Shervill automatically challenged the stranger but received no verbal reply. Instead, the man shot PC Shervill in the abdomen and fled into the darkness. The officer succumbed to his injuries and died. Despite the offer of a $2,500.00 reward for the arrest of the person responsible for the murder, no charges were laid for more than two years until September 16, 1940, against a federal inmate. PC Shervill’s murderer was convicted on January 18, 1941 and was sentenced to be hanged on March 12, 1941. Two weeks later, the sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. Constable Shervill was survived by his wife and daughter.

On this date in 1940, Winnipeg Police Constable McDonald, 26 years old, was assigned to a stake-out at the Motor League offices at 120 Fort Street with Constable Norm Stewart. The officers tried to apprehend 3 safe-breakers, but a gun battle ensued in which Constable McDonald was shot and died instantly, and Constable Stewart was wounded. The culprits escaped, but John Barnett and John Andrusiak were captured soon after. The third man, Mike “The Horse” Attamanchuk, who was responsible for the shootings, killed himself when cornered by officers three days later. Barnett and Andrusiak were each sentenced to 20 years in prison. Constable McDonald was survived by his wife and a son. 🇨🇦

This arrogant non flexible and insane position of the government on the seizure of guns from law abiding Canadian citizens is unbelievable!!!! Listen to Canadian Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree acknowledge the lack of logic and rational. Continuing to stand by a policy that’s so fragrantly violates the rights of law abiding Canadiens is absolutely unbelievable.
