The Nova Scotia RCMP has appointed Sergeant Christopher Attewell as Detachment Commander for the Musquodoboit Harbour Detachment.
"I have a passion for community policing," says Sgt. Attewell. "It's about building partnerships with residents and businesses so that together we can make our communities safer. I've worked in Musquodoboit Harbour since 2021, and I'm looking forward to serving the area in this new role."
Originally from Seeley's Cove, New Brunswick, Sgt. Attewell graduated from RCMP Depot in 2009. After graduation, he was posted to RCMP Halifax Regional Detachment, where he worked in Lower Sackville and Cole Harbour.
In 2014, Sgt. Attewell transferred to Hopedale, Newfoundland, and then to Happy Valley-Goose Bay, before being promoted to a position in Sanikuluaq, Nunavut.
In 2021, Sgt. Attewell returned to Nova Scotia. He's served the province in a variety of roles. He has worked in the Emergency Operations Centre, assisting with critical incidents, and as an Incident Commander for ground search and rescue.
Outside of policing, Sgt. Attewell volunteers with Scouts Canada and coaches youth sports.
