Kelowna RCMP superintendent calls for more officers
, in which, Supt. Kara Triance said, “I would like to see our numbers increased by at least 20 per cent, and we are not at fully-staffed levels.”
The officer describes being “extremely tired, and burnt out” from lack of staff, and that promises of support for officers are “nothing more than lip service.”The officer then goes on to reference that changes were maybe expected after an RCMP officer was stabbed in Kelowna last month, but said, “No, here we are still at dangerously low staffing levels.”
Triance, while not directly addressing comments made by the officer, did say, “policing is an arduous profession and that the detachment has mechanisms in place to support officers.”Talking to the union that represents RCMP officers, it said that Kelowna’s detachment is understaffed but it is not a problem that is unique to Kelowna.
