In a tribute to the late Sgt. Mike Lawless, Saanich police Thursday revealed a memorial in his honour, in the foyer of the Saanich Police Department.

Lawless, who spent two decades with the department, lost his battle with cancer in 2015.

In 2004, Lawless rode in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock and then worked as a support crew member the following year. He also served as the road boss for the Tour de Rock team until cancer forced him to step back from his role in 2013.
