(Insp. John Kendrick speaking recently at Fort Frances town council)There's been some temporary staffing changes within the Ontario Provincial Police and their Fort Frances detachment.
Detachment commander, Inspector John Kendrick has moved on to take on a position at the Northwest Regional Headquarters in Thunder Bay as the Regional Director of Operational Support.
Staff Sgt Steve Shouldice will serve as the acting detachment commander until Kendricks' return in April.
Meantime, the detachment will also be getting a new K-9 unit.
Shouldice says a new officer from southern Ontario is currently receiving training and will move to Fort Frances, replacing Constable Dan Bailey who was recently transferred down south.
