The RCMP town hall meetings are part of the detachment’s commitment to community engagement.
This particular Town Hall provided an opportunity for one of the community youth members to meet and make friends with two of East Hants Detachment Members.
The youngster got to hang out with Const. Mike Woolcock and Const. Myatt and try on some police equipment.
