Acting Commissioner, Trevor Botting said, “Ms. Bain brings a wealth of experience to the role having worked in public relations, journalism and marketing for more than ten years. Her addition to the RT&CIPF team is just one of the ways we plan to strengthen our community engagement and overall communications internally and externally.”
Botting added, “The strategic priorities for the RT&CIPF include enhancing our engagment with our communities and building public confidence in the Police Force and Ms. Bain will take the lead on the communications element of this work.”
Speaking on the new appointment, Bain said, “It will be a challenging role and I am very much looking forward to that challenge. There is a great deal of good work being done by the police and it’s important that it is communicated to the public”.
Bain added, “This is a positive and progressive step and I look forward to a long and successful association with the Police Force”.
