Dozens of requests for the services of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary's therapy dog were denied over a recent six-month period.
Const. Krista Fagan is the handler for the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary's first support dog.
Now the man who donated Stella — and has privately backed multiple RNC initiatives — says he warned the justice minister mental health programming was on shaky ground. Neither the RNC nor the minister is talking. "She will work with victims and survivors of violence and those struggling with a mental illness, provide reassurance to calm witnesses testifying during court procedures, and help those who simply require some comfort during difficult times — including her fellow officers of the RNC," Crocker said in the legislature.Emails and handwritten notes from the last six months indicate Stella and her handler were available — they just weren't being used outside of the RNC.
Stella, a Portugese water dog, trained with her handler, Const. Krista Fagan, at the National K-9 Learning Center in Columbus, Ohio. "Please have this organized ASAP. I want to know when the interview is taking place," wrote Chief Patrick Roche in an email. The victim services employee continued to follow up, expressing disappointment at the visits having been halted.
In an email dated Aug. 6, 2022, a unknown person emailed the justice minister expressing discontent with the RNC and its progress of mental health initiatives. In an interview, Hynes wanted to make one thing clear — this isn't about the money. He doesn't want any of it back. He doesn't want any grand gesture of thanks.
Jim Hynes, a businessman and philantrhopist, was presented with a certificate and photo of RNC police dogs and their handlers.
