Five New Officers Join The City Force

Five new Saint John police officers are officially sworn in after a city hall ceremony today.
Mayor Ivan Court emphasized the importance of respect in policing.
Constable Dan Olde Damink tells CHSJ News spent 10 weeks doing on the job training last summer as part of his course.
He says he was with a coach officer doing everything a police officer does. He adds the training tests you because at the academy it's all actors and not real life.


Chief Bill Reid says it's a proud moment when as a chief he can invite new people to invigorate the force. The other four new constables are Benjamin MacLeod, Christopher McCutcheon, Pamela MacInnis and Scott Prentice.
