Call us, urge police

By NUNATSIAQ NEWS

When the Kativik Regional Police Force representatives heard concerns from the regional council about unlawful behaviour, their message was simple: “if nobody tells us, we don’t know.”

“Call the police if you see someone who is too young to drive,” said KRPF deputy chief Jobie Epoo.

Kangirsuk mayor and regional council executive Joseph Annahatak said would urge the executive to write a letter in support of the KRPF’s efforts to keep underage drivers off the roads.

“We are supporting you,” Annahatak said.

Several councilors cited a desire to know their local police better, through introductions on community radio: “if you are more open to the public, there will be a better relationship,” said Mary Pirlutuut, the mayor and regional councillor from Kanqiqsujuaq.

The KRPF told the regional council it plans to distribute pamphlets in the communities to explain more about the role of the police.
