RCMP provides update on Fogo Island Detachment

The RCMP has confirmed that it is committing to permanently staffing the police officer position at Fogo Island Detachment that will become vacant next month.

The officer that will fill this position will reside on Fogo Island and be dedicated to providing service there.

Recruitment efforts to fill the vacancy are a priority. Until a replacement officer is secured, the position will be filled full-time by relief officers who will be based on Fogo Island, resulting in no change to police resources assigned to the Detachment.
