The Kimberley RCMP has a new detachment commander following S/Sgt. Steve Woodcox’s departure.
S/Sgt. Dan Biggs has now arrived in the community and is taking over Woodcox’s duties.
He has a wide array of policing experience with time spent in multiple units.
“I did a few years in Squamish, then I went to Sicamous so I have done small town policing,” he said.
“I then went to Surrey which is our biggest detachment and did the major crime unit down there and was promoted to Maple Ridge. I ran one of our investigative teams and one of our drug units.”
He was most recently in the North West Territories.
“I was running one of our plain clothes teams, where we had two teams, a domestic violence/sexual assault unit and a general investigations unit.”
He says Kimberley was his family’s first choice and he’s excited about the opportunity.
“About 14 and a half years of service and this is my sixth detachment so I have bounced around quite a bit. Coming out of the North West Territories this was our number one spot.”
