School resource officer and dedicated traffic officer join RCMP in Coaldale

COALDALE – It’s the first day on the job for a couple of officers in Coaldale.

Community Peace Officer (CPO) Jerry Gurr comes in as the school resource officer, as part of a new program launched by the Coaldale RCMP.

“CPO Gurr is a welcome addition being a former Lethbridge Regional Police Service member, a former trained school resource officer and a well known long time resident of Coaldale,” stated Staff Sgt. Glenn Henry in a media release.

The RCMP and Town of Coaldale will conduct a review between the end of this school year and the next one, to determine the effectiveness of the service delivery model.
