Even though Assistant Commissioner Scott McMurchy has held the position of Commanding Officer for Manitoba RCMP since May of this year, a formal and symbolic ceremony took place on Thursday to make the passing of command official.
Parchments were signed and bagpipe banners were exchanged as part of the ceremony to mark the beginning of a new command in the province and a new path forward.
Assistant Commissioner McMurchy has taken over the post from Deputy Commissioner Rob Hill.
The ceremony was held at the Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site.
