In a press release on Friday, the Saint John Police Commission announced that Stephan Drolet is stepping down a few days shy of his one-year anniversary for personal reasons.

Don Darling, who’s sat on the board since July of 2016, made the announcement in a post to his Medium.com page.

In a press release, police say emergency services were called to an area along Smythe Street just before 3:00 p.m. AT. 

According to the policy document, the vehicle can be deployed in two situations: where the risk to serious bodily harm exists to either police or the public, or in critical incidents.

According to Axon, the company behind the device, the force has purchased 60 of the cameras, which it says retail for $956 apiece.

James Halleran, Richard LeClair and Robert Sullivan are all prisoners who have failed to return when they were supposed to between Oct. 21 and Oct. 28.

The search for the body began Wednesday evening.

Details on the incident are limited and agencies are not offering comment.
