Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Community Constable Program is one that is ongoing. During the last few months, we have had requests from communities or concerns that there are shortages of RCMP officers for one reason or another. As we look for options on how to deal with that, the Community Constable By-law Program is one that appears to be a viable option and is one that we encourage communities to look at and work with the department in identifying individuals to take the training. Presently, I am informed there are 33 community constable by-law officers throughout the NWT who have completed training courses at the RCMP Academy and some of the most recent trainees are now undergoing field coaching with the RCMP.
