⚠️ UPDATE — We have just located PSD EDGE. He was found in the same general area as where he was deployed yesterday, un-injured and in good spirits. He will be taking the day off to receive some extra treats and belly scratches from his handler.
Our hearts are broken. We should all strive to be even half the person Nevaeh Denine was. Brave, Selfless, Strong, & Courageous. She never gave up. The mark left on our community by this incredible young girl will last a lifetime. Life gave her lemons and she made lemonaid. 💜🍋
Huge thank you to
@DominosCanada
for supplying pizza to first responders during this SOE! Sgt. Green is in shock of their generosity, as you can tell from the video! Members delivered them to St. Clare’s, RNC locations, and other first responders this afternoon!
It’s sad that we have to post this every winter... *sigh* but here goes: THIS is a *Magical Snow Wand* (snow brush.) It will help you magically remove snow from your windows so you can see to drive. We know you don’t want to get wet & cold... but... please?

On August 31, Sgt. Sandy Harvey will retire from the RNC after 37 years of dedicated service to the people of Newfoundland & Labrador. Sandy is the longest serving female officer in our history. She helped pave the road for future generations of women in policing in our province.
☀️ What a beautiful sunny day to lose your license, your car, and get a mega ticket! These two drivers were caught going 152 & 170 on the ORR this morning a minute apart. Both vehicles were impounded and drivers had their licenses suspended. Slow down b’ys!

With great sadness the RNC informs our communities of the passing of retired Police Service Dog, Edge, on Thursday morning after a battle with cancer. Edge had his handler, Sgt. Kevin Morgan, and his owner, Mr. Jim Hynes, by his side as he bid farewell. Rest in peace, Edge.
