Members of the RCMP’s Codiac detachment are set to gradually return to work and start patrolling the streets of Moncton, N.B. According to the officials, almost 141 officers are now going to phased back to work, who will start performing active duty in the coming days after two weeks of personal leave granted in light of the dreadful shooting rampage that left three of their colleagues dead.
The RCMP has assured that the transition back to work will be gradual and it has been made essential for all officers to consult with doctors, nurses and psychologists before returning to work. The RCMP previously allowed Codiac detachment officers to take time off to grieve the June 4 shooting deaths of three of their RCMP colleagues in Moncton. The three officers, including Constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Dave Joseph Ross and Douglas James Larche, were killed after responding to reports of an armed man in a north Moncton neighbourhood. In result of the shooting, the authorities conducted a massive manhunt and 30-hour lockdown was imposed until the suspect was arrested.
The RCMP recommended Codiac police officers to seek psychological counselling right after the shooting and now before their time off was going to end. For the time that officers from the Codiac detachment were off duty, police from other jurisdictions stepped in to provide day-to-day law enforcement services. Those officers are now scheduled to return to their home detachments. The 24-year-old suspect, Justin Bourque, is set to appear in court on July 3.
