Currently a Patrol Sergeant in North Vancouver RCMP.

RCMP Police Officer for 13 years service, all in the Lower Mainland . Currenlty supervises a General Duty Watch in Richmond. Happily married with one child.

Created Team Izzat - which means honour and respect in several South Asian languages. Team Izzat has 22 Police Officers from Richmond who volunteer their time to connect with youth through Sports and Education. Izzat has an Annual Basketball tournament at the India Cultural Centre every year in August. They had their first Youth Leadership Awards Dinner in 2005 where 10 scholarships of $500 each were presented to Richmond students displaying leadership in school and the community. Team Izzat was a winner of the Richmond Spirit Awards in 2005.

Coached basketball for four years at West Whalley Secondary.
Has a passion to reduce violence and crime in the community. Dedicates many hours to volunteer with groups focussed on : Youth, Domestic Violence, and the South Asian Community.

I have volunteered at the basketball tournament since 2006.  I volunteer because I love playing basketball with kids and it's for a great cause.  Being a Youth Correctional Officer, it's a great way for me to meet other like-minded volunteers that are also involved in the criminal justice system.

I met the team in August 2005 while I was studying at UBC. I have been volunteering with them ever since. Rahul Coelho and I share the positions of Director of Services and Volunteer Coordinator. This is an energizing and dynamic group of people, dedicated to mentoring youth through sports, skill development, and role modeling. Whether we are at a basketball tournament, working on the youth forum, or at a meeting, we always have a lot of fun along the way! 

My name is Mike Bhatti. I have been a Police Officer with the RCMP for more than 10 years. I have worked uniform and plainclothes sections such as Burglary and Serious Crimes. I am currently a patrol supervisor at the Vancouver International Airport. I am married, and have three young daughters. My hope is that they grow up taking in as much as they can and being active throughout their lives in academics, physical activity, and public service. I believe that any person, especially a young person, who is well rounded in these three anchors, will evolve into an adult who has endless opportunities and personal fulfillment.
