OTTAWA – June 7, 2010 - Last Friday afternoon, the “A” Division RCMP held a Change of Command Ceremony to welcome their incoming Commanding Officer, Assistant Commissioner François Bidal.
The ceremony, based on military tradition, provided the Division’s employees with an opportunity to say goodbye to their outgoing Commanding Officer, Deputy Commissioner Allen Nause, and gave his successor a chance to meet some local law enforcement and government partners.
