Sergeant Deluco of the Barrington RCMP Detachment is welcoming the opportunity for her and her staff to meet more of the community; “While we police your community, we are also citizens of your community, we live here and our children attend school here. We are equally proud of your community and our interests are to make it a safe and secure community, while participating in and enjoying all of what your community offers.” she stated.
Warden Eddie Nickerson sees this as an opportunity for the general public to get to know and welcome new RCMP officers to the Municipality, as well as the newly appointed CAO, Rob Frost. Warden Nickerson says, “We look forward to seeing as many citizens as possible come out to meet our great RCMP, and our newly appointed CAO.”
