EDMONTON – Special guests and RCMP employees witnessed Deputy Commissioner Curtis Zablocki assume command of the Alberta RCMP from Deputy Commissioner Todd Shean on Monday.
“I am extremely honoured and humbled to be selected as the 25th Commanding Officer of the Alberta RCMP,” said Zablocki. “Policing is about people and I am committed to working hand-in-hand with our citizens to ensure their communities are safe and strong for the future.”
Deputy Commissioner Zablocki is a 28-year veteran of the RCMP and has spent most of his career in Alberta carrying out various operational duties in advisory and command functions. As Commanding Officer for the Saskatchewan RCMP from 2016 to 2018, he led changes to the Federal Policing program and established two permanent crime reduction teams to combat serious and violent crime in the province.
“Curtis is a hard-working, compassionate and respectful leader. His experience, education and people-first approach will serve our employees and the citizens of Alberta very well,” said Brenda Lucki, Commissioner of the RCMP. “I’m proud to be working alongside him to modernize our RCMP.”
