Assistant Commissioner Alexander Neville Eames
Born 1883 - Wales
Died 1965 - Vancouver, BC
Assistant Commissioner Eames was born in Wales in 1883. He joined the Force in 1913 at the age of twenty nine years.
In a very short time, he received his Commission. He accepted several transfers and was responsible for opening Pincher Creek Detachment in 1919. About 1929, he was transferred as Officer Commanding of the Western Arctic. It was while he was in this position that he supervised the famous case tagged as the 'Mad Trapper', a man who has never been identified.
