"I cannot see another example in Canadian history where we've had peace officers controlling our inter-provincial borders," he said. The province has used forest rangers, conservation officers, commercial vehicle enforcement officers, off road vehicle enforcement officers, national safety code investigators, general investigative service members, corrections officers and sheriff officers. All kinds of officers staff New Brunswick border points during the pandemic: forest rangers, commercial vehicle enforcement officers, corrections officers and other peace officers. In a 24 hour period, the province has an average of 40 peace officers with 25 screeners working at the borders. Shortly after 9/11 there were some peace officers and police officers deployed to do specialized work.
