Various B.C. communities will be getting new sheriffs, including Prince George.
28 new sheriffs that graduated from the Justice Institute of British Columbia on Thursday, will be starting their careers at courthouses across the province to help keep people safe.
The Province said sheriffs are highly trained peace officers who protect court users, transport accused and convicted people, provide security for the judiciary, Crown, defence and staff, and perform other enforcement duties.
The new sheriffs will be ready for deployment beginning on Nov. 10, 2025.
The next class of sheriff recruits will start training on Nov. 3, 2025.
The Province continues to strengthen the court system through investments in recruitment, retention and training for sheriffs, ensuring B.C.’s courts are safer, more efficient and better equipped to serve people throughout the province.
