Effective Thursday, February 1, 2024, at 12:01 a.m. the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary will be the new police of jurisdiction for the communities of Massey Drive and Mount Moriah.
In August 2023, the Honourable John Hogan, KC, Minister of Justice and Public Safety and Attorney General, announced that the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary would be expanding its jurisdiction in western Newfoundland. This first phase of expansion will be followed by additional phases throughout 2024, with further information to be shared publicly as the process continues.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will continue to manage ongoing files that have been previously reported through them in this area. Residents with ongoing matters should continue to engage the police agency currently handling their file, unless notified directly that their file has been transferred.
There is no change to 9-1-1 services. As always, dial 9-1-1 in case of emergency.
Residents of Massey Drive and Mount Moriah can expect continued professional police services, delivered through the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary is familiar with the region, having provided policing services in Corner Brook for more than 30 years.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are thanked for the years of dedication and commitment to the residents of Massey Drive and Mount Moriah. The Provincial Government is continuing to work with communities, both police agencies, and the Government of Canada to ensure policing is working in the most effective and efficient way possible to ensure all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians feel safe and secure.
