St. Marys welcomes Constable Aaron Mounfield as new Community Resource Officer

Residents may have noticed a new Community Resource Officer during the past two months. Aaron Mounfield started in this role on January 4, 2021 and the Town would like to officially welcome him.

“Aaron brings an enthusiastic energy level to the role and has a good understanding of our local community,” says Mayor Al Strathdee. “We are excited to welcome Aaron as our Community Resource Officer in St Marys.”

Constable Mounfield was born in Stratford and has lived in this area his entire life. He has been in the police force for approximately 11 years, starting as an OPP Auxiliary before moving to the Stratford Police Service in 2013. Constable Mounfield’s new position encompasses a range of duties including community and school relations, as well as investigations.

“I became a police officer to make a difference in my community. I enjoy the personal interaction I can have with others in my community as a police officer.” Says Constable Aaron Mounfield. “ I have only been is this position for two months and have already found St. Marys residents to be very friendly and helpful. They wave and are not afraid to say ‘hello’ on the street, which I find amazing.”

Constable Mounfield will police the Town from Monday to Friday, usually between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Hours may change occasionally if required to attend an evening event. An additional Stratford Police officer will be on patrol in St. Marys 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
