New Deputy Sheriff Terry Fehr, accepts his badge from Superintendent Darcy Eggleston as A.G. Mike deJong applauds

Prince George, B.C.- There is a new Sheriff in town, to be exact, a new Deputy Sheriff, although he is no stranger to most Prince George residents.

Terry Fehr, who has spent more than 35 years in the RCMP and many of those years in this community, has retired from the red serge, and has taken on a new role as a Deputy Sheriff with the BC Sheriff's Services.

Attorney General Mike deJong was on hand to hear Fehr take his oath of office in front of BC Sheriff's Services Northern Region Superintendent Darcy Eggleston.

Fehr says his first real challenge is being approved to wear a gun.

The ceremony today at the Prince George Courthouse, also saw Attorney General Mike deJong deliver the "Inspector's" badge to Sheriff Inspector Steve Breitkreutz. The A.G. pointed out that the Sheriffs are to be thanked for their role in "quietly ensuring the important work of the court is carried out and that the accused is looked after."

deJong also presented a Justice of the Peace Certificate to Denise Moore, and a Deputy District Registrar's Certificate to Glenda Bennett.

"No matter if you come to work in a uniform or not, you are all members of a very important team"said deJong, "I want to take the time to say thank you for all your good work, and ask that you take time to remind yourselves and your co workers how important the work you do is, and how much your efforts are appreciated."

Will he be carrying a gun and have one bullet in his shirt pocket? I met him and he's a nice guy. Just so ya know.

Terry has the attitude that speaks volumes about how to talk to and treat people. You see, he's the type of guy in a uniform that doesn't need the uniform to make a difference, perhaps he can teach that to some of the younger guys and gals.
Denise, congratulations and you deserve it!
Best Court Clerk and JP I have ever had the pleasure to know.

Awe yeah thats good to know. Now we need men and women that are like this guy. I know him. Where as over time they become the best at what they do and can deal with anyone that comes their way. I am all for that. I mean to say we don't need police is just foolish. I mean umm Kill All The Lawyers is not what we need. It would be nice to see more judges. But then maybe not. I know remand is the quick out because there isn't enough judges to hear trails.

A cop for 35 years and he's "challenged" to qualify to carry a gun..... Makes me wonder how many other RCMP still working and carrying a gun are "unqualified"...
