Manitoba’s top cop is retiring.

Assistant Commissioner Jane MacLatchy announced her planned retirement from the RCMP last week, after more than 34 years of dedicated service to Canadians.

A/Commr. MacLatchy has been the commanding officer of the Manitoba RCMP for three years, having taken command in February 2019.

Her last day as commanding officer will be in June.

“My career with the RCMP has brought me across Canada, and three years ago, it brought me to Manitoba,” MacLatchy said. “It has truly been an honour to be the commanding officer for the Manitoba RCMP. Over the last three years, I’ve seen countless examples where the nearly 1,500 employees of this incredible organization have made positive differences in the lives of Manitobans. Time and again, they have gone above and beyond to ensure the safety of the communities we so proudly serve in this province. It has been a privilege to work alongside them and see first hand, their commitment and professionalism.”

The process to select a new commanding officer will begin shortly.

Further details will be available at a later date.
