    Cpl Garland says RCMP NL will conduct targeted enforcement of the move over law during traffic stops on the Trans-Canada Highway today.

    RCMP members in this province will pay honour the memory of a fallen comrade today during traffic stops on the Trans Canada Highway. In 2017, Cst.Francis Deschenes was killed while on duty helping a motorist change a flat tire on the side of a highway in New Brunswick. Cpl Jolene Garland says earlier that year, Cst. Deschenes worked in this province for a short time and was heavily involved in the implementation of the move over law in New Brunswick, which is now referred to as “Frank’s Law.” Cpl Garland says RCMP NL will conduct targeted enforcement of the move over law during traffic stops on the Trans-Canada Highway today.
