The man who has been the acting detachment commander at the 91大黄鸭 RCMP for the last three months is having the word "acting" removed from his title.

RCMP Insp. Brent Mundle has been named the new permanent head of the RCMP at the city detachment.

The promotion was announced Wednesday by Chief Supt. Brad Haugli, commander of the B.C. RCMP鈥檚 Southeast District, in consultation with 91大黄鸭 city manager Ron Mattiussi.

"Brent has done a tremendous job of being in the acting detachment commander position since September,鈥� said Haugli.

鈥淗is wealth of operational policing knowledge, coupled with his record of engagement in community activities make him highly qualified to assume this command. I am confident that, through Brent's leadership, the 91大黄鸭 RCMP will continue to keep the community's safety a top priority."

Mundle is a 23-year veteran of the RCMP, serving in a number of capacities in communities throughout Alberta before returning to his home province in 2016 to serve as operations officer at the 91大黄鸭 detachment.

He replaces former Supt. Nick Romanchuk who suddenly retired in September, just as an announcement was made that an investigation was underway into an unidentified individual at the 91大黄鸭 RCMP.

No one was named as the subject of the investigation, which was done by the Abbotsford police at the request of the RCMP. At the time of his retirement, Romanchuck  had been off the job for several weeks.

On Nov. 30, the Abbotsford Police Department announced it had of what it said was a single complaint against an individual at the 91大黄鸭 RCMP detachment. It said it found no evidence a criminal offence was committed.

On Wednesday, 91大黄鸭 Mayor Colin Basran said Mundle has been impressive during his short stint as acting commander.

"Council has been impressed with his thoroughness as a commander,鈥� said Basran.  鈥淗e has a clear vision of what the policing priorities are for the Central Okanagan and the necessary experience to accomplish those priorities with the detachment鈥檚 dedicated members.鈥�

Despite the fact he has already appeared before council at public meetings, been quoted in the  media and most recently represented the RCM at council's annual budget deliberations, Mundle will be formally introduce to the community at a news conference to be scheduled early in the New Year.
