We’re excited to introduce the newest role at the New Glasgow Regional Police (NGRP) – the Community Response Officer (CRO)! This innovative position is designed to focus on crime reduction through relationship building and community engagement, with an emphasis on finding systemic solutions to habitual and complex social challenges in our area. The CRO will operate out of our new Community Police Office located at 90 Provost St., New Glasgow, and will be a key player in connecting with local residents, organizations, and services to create safer, stronger communities.
We’re also thrilled to welcome Cst. Ryan Thibeau, the first officer to take on this role. Ryan joined NGRP in August 2024 and brings over 20 years of public service experience. Originally from Yarmouth, NS, Ryan began his career as a volunteer firefighter before becoming a Firefighter/Fire Inspector in Yarmouth and then Truro. He later served as a Deputy Fire Marshal for the Province of Nova Scotia, where he became a leader in fire inspection and investigation, while also working closely with NGRP and the RCMP in Pictou County.
In 2022, Ryan made a career shift to law enforcement, completing his training at the RCMP Training Academy in Regina. His first posting in Prince Albert, SK, gave him valuable experience dealing with gangs, the drug trade, and violent offenders. Most recently, Ryan served with the Bridgewater Police Service, where he gained insights into the policing challenges unique to Nova Scotia.
Ryan’s extensive background in public safety, combined with his leadership experience and passion for community involvement (including coaching local baseball teams), makes him the perfect fit for this role. We look forward to seeing the positive impact Cst. Thibeau will have on our community.
Stop by and say hello at 90 Provost St. and join us in welcoming Ryan to New Glasgow!
To reach the CRO directly, please call 902-752-1941 or email

Coyote Safety

Dear New Glasgow community,
To keep our neighbourhoods safe from encounters with wildlife, it is crucial that we all step in and work together to minimize the impact of human actions and their impact on wildlife around us.
Here are some simple steps you can take to keep animals like coyotes away from our neighbourhoods.
- Do not feed the deer in your neighbourhood. Doing so may increase the deer population, inviting wild animals like coyotes, natural predators, to feed on the deer.
- Do not leave open trash or food in your lawns, yards or outside garbage bins.
- Tall grass creates hiding spots for wild animals. Mow your lawn frequently so that it does not act as a cover spot for wild animals while hunting.
- Keep an eye on your pets when they are outside. Unattended pets can become easy targets for wildlife.
Let us all work collectively to keep our community safe.
