    The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will continue to manage ongoing files that have been previously reported through them in this area.

    Effective Thursday, February 1st 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, Justice Minister John Hogan, 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 this year 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.
