Deputy Mayor Natalie Harris tells Tide News village council voted unanimously last night to seek permission from the Minister of Public Safety to release them from their RCMP contract.
St. George previously voted to stop using the RCMP and has been talking with the Black's Harbour council for about a year on getting a municipal force for their communities.
Combined the village and town pay about $500,000 a year to have the RCMP provide policing.
