Red Deer RCMP have announced a new Officer in Charge of the city’s detachments.

As of Dec. 17, Inspector Holly Glassford has taken on the role of acting Officer in Charge of the Red Deer RCMP while the search for a new OIC takes place.

Insp. Glassford is filling the role following the retirement of Superintendent Gerald Grobmeier, who served as Red Deer’s OIC for nearly three years.

Officials say Insp. Glassford has 23 years of service with the RCMP, and has served throughout Canada, including numerous postings in the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia and Alberta. In 2019, she was appointed as the Operations Officer for the Red Deer detachment.

“I am pleased to serve as the interim Officer in Charge for Red Deer,” said Inspector Glassford. “As we head into a new year, I look forward to continuing the great work the Red Deer RCMP is doing to support and protect our community.”
