ST. JOHN’S – Newfoundland and Labrador’s police oversight agency has charged an on-duty officer with a weapons offence.
The province’s Serious Incident Response Team, or SIRT-NL, says it charged a Royal Newfoundland Constabulary officer for careless storage of a firearm, ammunition and a prohibited weapon.
A news release posted Friday to the agency’s website says the charge stems from an incident in November in Corner Brook, a small city in western Newfoundland.
The release says the officer is scheduled to appear in court in July.
The agency does not offer any other details about what happened.
SIRT-NL investigates incidents of injury, death, sexual assault and domestic violence involving police.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 6, 2026.
