TerraceBC mayor continues push for more RCMP officers amid rising crime, high vacancies
Terrace Mayor Sean Bujtas says he’s going to continue to press the provincial government to find more RCMP officers for the local detachment.
“When we hear that the crime reduction unit has been collapsed, that the Indigenous policing unit has been collapsed and community police has been collapsed, I expressed my concern that the province wants to do this when we’re nowhere near being able to meet our current capacity,” he said of the local hub.
Bujtas said while that was a great idea, he’s not convinced any of those officers were ever assigned to plug local holes. — continuing a lobby campaign begun by former Terrace Mayor Carol Leclerc for money for Foundry, a provincial youth mental health program.
