PC Justice shadow Helen Conway Ottenheimer, says this is a crisis that threatens the safety and well-being of rural communities.
The Opposition is raising urgent concerns about the alarming shortage of RCMP officers in this province. PC Justice shadow Helen Conway Ottenheimer, says this is a crisis that threatens the safety and well-being of rural communities. She says "Seniors and families are increasingly anxious about their safety at home. The lack of police presence is heightening these fears, leaving people feeling vulnerable and unprotected in their own communities." A recent Access to Information request has revealed that nearly 100 officer positions remain unfilled. Conway Ottenheimer says “this shortage isn't just a statistic; it represents real harm to families who are left feeling unsafe in their homes.”
