Sgt. David Henry will soon be leaving his current posting to take up residence in the Town of Two Hills as the new RCMP Detachment Commander.

Sgt. Henry is scheduled to begin his new duties on July 12 and couldn’t be happier. As to why he chose Two Hills for the next phase of his career? “I did a six month secondment there four years ago and I loved the people, I loved the community and it suited my style of community policing. I love working in small communities. I find them personable and very proactive when it comes to reporting crime and suspicious activity.”

He went on to say, “I know Sgt Daisley has done a great job in paving the way for me to make it an easy transition.”

A former competitive hockey and volleyball player, Cst. Henry said, “I am really looking forward to coming there and being a part of the community.” In fact, “I wanted to join the RCMP as I had a hockey coach that was a member and he was an exceptional mentor to us when we were young. I joined the RCMP in 2005 and have been in St. Albert, Airdrie, St. Paul, Saddle Lake, Elk Point; and of late, I was working in Eastern Alberta District office in St. Paul. I have been deployed to G8 in Toronto, Fort Mac fires, Demarais fires, Happy Valley/Goose Bay Muskrat Falls protests among others.”

Cst. Henry was born in Camrose and raised in High Level. He has been married to Sharene for 30 years and they have two children, Christopher, 19, and Katie, 22.
