History
Constables were first appointed at Trinity in 1729 to assist the magistrate in keeping the peace. The Newfoundland Constabulary was established in 1871 and thereafter a member of the force was stationed at Trinity. The constable was responsible for the area from English Harbour to Popes Harbour including Ireland’s Eye. The last resident constable at Trinity was Constable John Baggs. After confederation with Canada the duties of the constabulary were assumed by the RCMP. The offices of the constabulary and the gaol were in the Court House. The constable occupied an apartment on the second and third floors.
