The Royal Canadian Mounted Police of Newfoundland and Labrador have a new face handling its media relations.
Cpl. Jolene Garland was announced as the RCMP’s new media relations officer in a news release Thursday morning. She will be the face of its Strategic Communications and Media Relations Unit.
Prior to accepting this position, Garland has 16 years of service in a variety of postings that include Niagara Falls, Deer Lake, Rocky Harbour and most recently, the Ferryland Detachment.
Her roles during those postings have included federal investigator, customs and excise; provincial co-ordinator, drug evaluation and classification program; traffic services investigator and general duty investigator.
Garland started in her new position on June 25, a promotional move from her position as Constable in Ferryland.
She is now the primary contact for media inquiries for RCMP NL. Members of the media can continue to use the Media Relations email: [email protected] .
