The Northern and Cariboo regions will have some new sheriffs in town starting next month.
According to the province, a graduating class of 24 BC sheriffs will begin their first day of duty on March 7th.
They will be assigned to courthouses throughout the province including Quesnel, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John and Terrace.
Sheriffs are highly trained peace officers who provide protective services for the Crown, judiciary, defence, court staff, the public and all participants in the justice system.
Sheriffs also protect court users, transport accused and convicted people to and from correctional institutions and perform other duties.
The next sheriff-recruit training class will start in the spring.
