He’s been to Delta, Sudan, Iraq and even Burnaby. But for Supt. Ghalib Bhayani, North Vancouver is the promised land.
“I’ve been trying to get to North Van for 18 years, my entire RCMP career,” said the 
force’s new officer in charge. “This detachment is considered a gem. Simply put, a gem.”
Bhayani took over the top post in July (2019) after former detachment commander Chris Kennedy stepped down.
