Should Kamloops get its own police force? No thanks
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP spent a good part of their weekend thanking the people they serve.
It was all about the city’s latest shooting incident, and this time police were the target. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and an arrest was made after some 22 hours of intense police activity.
The entire community was on edge during this drama. Police checkpoints went up, residents of the G&M trailer court were evacuated, and several major roads were shut down, resulting in a bigger traffic snarl-up than usual during the Friday afternoon rush hour.
