RCMP volunteers needed
Recruiting is underway to find RCMP volunteers to provide crime prevention services in the community.
Twelve volunteers are needed in Vernon, and six in Lumby.
The program has operated for 27 years as extra eyes and ears for RCMP, with duties such as night patrols, speed watch operations, foot patrols for special events, distracted driving operations, small vessel safety equipment checks, invasive mussel checks of boats and trailers, theft from vehicle crime prevention and disaster response.
New candidates are put through five-nights of core classroom training April 15 and 16 and continuing April 21, 22 and 23, 2020.
