The City of Prince George announced Insp. Warren Brown will be the new officer in charge of the Prince George RCMP detachment on Wednesday.
Brown is currently commander of the Williams Lake detachment.
"Having worked as a detachment commander in New Hazelton and Williams Lake, I am familiar with and have faced similar challenges to those which Prince George faces," Brown said in a written statement.
"I look forward to engaging with the many partners and stakeholders in the city, and continuing the great work of Superintendent Eric Stubbs in crime reduction – making Prince George a safer community for everyone."
Brown will be in Prince George in a couple weeks, after he settles his affairs in Williams Lake.
