The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has confirmed Steve Curnew, who has pleaded guilty to violating an emergency protection order, is no longer employed as an officer with the force. He was accused last year of violating an emergency protection order, something often granted in cases of domestic disputes. In an email, an RNC spokesperson said the violation of the emergency protection order is not the reason behind the change in Curnew's employment status. Curnew pleaded guilty to violating the order during an appearance in provincial court last week. The RNC, meanwhile, is not disclosing if Curnew was fired or if he resigned, citing privacy concerns.
