The Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mallory Metallic to a five year term as SiRT’s first Indigenous Liaison Investigator for New Brunswick.

A Mi’gmaq woman from Listuguj, Quebec, Mallory has spent most of her life on the First Nations Mi’gmaq community of Listuguj as well as Campbellton, New Brunswick .

Mallory has a long history of service and engagement with Indigenous communities. At the age of 16 she began her career as a Public Relations Community Officer for both the Listuguj Police and Fire and Ranger Departments. She graduated from the Atlantic Police Academy in 2018 and began her policing career in Listugui before continuing in law enforcement in Summerside, Prince Edward Island.

During her time with the Summerside Police Force, Mallory was recognized as the first Indigenous police officer to serve in the City of Summerside. In 2024 she was promoted to the Major Crime Unit and served as Detective Constable. She was also the Indigenous Liaison Officer for the Indigenous Justice Committee for the Mi’gmaq Confederacy of PEI.

Over the last eight years Mallory has focused her training on helping victims of domestic violence, sexual assaults, and other major offences. Throughout her career she has championed Indigenous cultural awareness and understanding within policing organizations and the communities they serve.

Mallory has also received several recognitions during her policing career which include a Certificate of Appreciation from her Summerside department in 2024 and PEI Crime Stoppers Municipal Police Officer of the Year. She is also a Traditional Fancy Shawl Dancer.

“Mallory has an excellent combination of community leadership, investigative experience and deep cultural knowledge that she is bringing to this position,” said Erin Nauss, SiRT Director. “This is a positive step forward that we are hopeful will help strengthen relationships with Indigenous communities and ensure their perspectives are reflected in our work. We are delighted to welcome Mallory to the SiRT team.”

“I am honored to have been selected for this new position with SiRT,” said Malloy. “I truly look forward to hearing what our Indigenous voices need, not just through words, but from their minds and hearts. I will continue to grow and learn from Our People and do my absolute best to keep Our culture strong and heard.”

Some responsibilities for this position include:

• helping identify appropriate community liaisons for investigations
• engaging with Indigenous communities across New Brunswick
• facilitating education and ongoing learning between SiRT and community
• being SiRT’s point of contact for investigations involving indigenous persons and communities
• being an Investigator with powers of a peace officer who can assist with investigations.

For the development of this position, SiRT consulted with representatives from the Wolastoqey Tribal Council Inc. and Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Inc. (MTI), who also consulted with leaders in their respective communities. The interview panel was also comprised of Indigenous representation with community connections.

SiRT is responsible for investigating all matters that involve death, serious injury, sexual assault and intimate partner violence or other matters of a public interest to be investigated that may have arisen from the actions of any police officer, on or off duty, in Nova Scotia or New Brunswick
