Send us Fan Mail In this latest interview, Allan Dale sits down with Michael Hunt, a dedicated police officer with the RNC, to discuss his career, the changing landscape of law enforcement, and his upcoming transition back to the community. Here are the key highlights from their conversation: A Transition Back to the Streets: Michael is currently wrapping up a rewarding two-year short-term assignment with the Criminal Investigation Division's General Investigation Unit, where he focused on property crimes, break-ins, and armed robberies. He is now eager to bring his sharpened investigative skill sets back to street patrol. Deep Experience: With 13 years of service under his belt, Michael spent a full decade on street patrol. He has extensive experience serving diverse areas across the region, including downtown, CBS, Torbay, Mount Pearl, Paradise, and Kenmount Heights. A Evolving Landscape: Michael shares insights into how policing has changed, noting a significant rise in calls for service—increasing by 20,000 over the last two years alone—as well as a stark rise in firearms offenses compared to when he first started. A Legacy of Service: Law enforcement runs in the family! Michael shares a proud personal moment about his grandfather, a retired emergency officer who actually presented Michael with his badge at graduation. The Power of Teamwork: From working alongside specialized units like K9, forensics, and tactical teams, to collaborating with community partner agencies, health professionals, and social workers, Michael emphasizes that modern policing relies heavily on a massive, unified team effort. For those looking for a dynamic, professional, and deeply rewarding career outside of a traditional 9-to-5 office job, Michael strongly encourages submitting an application to join the growing RNC team.
