Meet your Nova Scotia RCMP during National Police Week

**** RCMP Media Release

From May​ 12​ to​ 18, the Nova Scotia RCMP will celebrate Police Week by providing Nova Scotians with a closer look at Canada’s national police force. National Police Week began in​ 1970​ as a way for police to connect with their communities and increase awareness about the services they provide. Community policing is at the heart of Police Week, it’s a great opportunity for members of the community to come together, meet their neighbours and connect with local police.
