RCMP Newfoundland & Labrador responds to more than 500 calls for service over long weekend
As many enjoyed an extended long weekend, officers were busy across the province, responding to more than 500 calls for service between Friday and Monday.
In communities across Newfoundland and Labrador, officers provide essential services to create safer communities and uphold the law. These calls for service represent the full breadth of support police provide – in addition to investigating crimes against people and property, the total includes requests for wellbeing checks, traffic enforcement, false alarms, people reported missing, support for those suffering from a mental health crisis and other public assistance.
Over the long weekend, RCMP Newfoundland and Labrador also responded to reports of mischief, sudden deaths, traffic collisions, off-road vehicle violations, violations of the Liquor Control Act, suspicious persons or vehicles and support for partner agencies.
RCMP officers are currently serving over 600 communities from more than 40 detachments across the province. When Newfoundlanders and Labradorians call, officers are there to respond, serve and protect.
