Senior Mountie returns to Alberta
EDMONTON Alberta’s new RCMP commanding officer is no stranger to Wild Rose Country.
Assistant Commissioner Curtis Zablocki, who was named Friday as the province’s new RCMP top cop, has spent most of his almost three decades of service in Alberta, including as deputy criminal operations officer at K Division.
Zablocki has spent the past two years in Saskatchewan.
“Assistant Commissioner Zablocki knows our province well and has a depth of experience that he will bring to this important role leading Alberta’s provincial police service,” Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley said in a statement Friday. “I am confident that, under incoming Assistant Commissioner Zablocki, the RCMP will continue its outstanding work as Alberta’s provincial police service.”
