‘No light at the end of the tunnel’: Police shortage at local detachment
The Terrace RCMP detachment is so short of police officers it has shelved the specialized squad that patrolled the downtown area, assigning its community policing officer to other duties.
“We just don’t have the manpower to staff them,” Gillespie said of the downtown unit and community policing officer. “Unfortunately that will hamper some of the proactive efforts we were previously making.” Gillespie said the shortage of officers is being felt everywhere, adding that people aren’t as attracted to policing as they once were.Specific to the RCMP, Gillespie said the force has already cancelled half its planned 2023 training programs.
Gillespie said the detachment now writes bail comments on prolific offenders beforehand so that when they are arrested and presented before a judge, the judge has full knowledge of the person’s previous activities.
