The Estevan detachment of the RCMP will be welcoming a new sergeant within the next week with the arrival of Sgt. Cate Rigaux who will be moving to Estevan from her previous detachment assignment in Oyen, Alberta.
Sgt. Rigaux will be in charge of the Estevan detachment following the depature of Sgt. Darryl Milo who accepted a transfer to the major crimes section of the RCMP in Regina this past summer.
The local detachment will have one sergeant and six constables plus one office administrator on duty once Rigaux arrives, which is expected by month's end.
The RCMP traffic division, that also maintains offices in Estevan, has up to four members currently policing local highways and major grid roads from both Estevan and Weyburn. This section is under the direction of Cpl. Andrew Knowles.
