    For now, drivers can relax, this little officer is only handing out smiles, not speeding tickets.

    It appears there’s a new Mountie patrolling the roads, and from the looks of it, he’s tiny but already has his own cruiser. Cpl Jesse O’Donaghey says his name is Jack and his picture is on the RCMP NL facebook page. Jack is proudly cruising around in his very own police car alongside the real thing. Jack’s dad, Constable Miller of the Whitbourne RCMP, serves the community every day, and it seems Jack is already following in his father’s footsteps. For now, drivers can relax, this little officer is only handing out smiles, not speeding tickets.
