KAMLOOPS — B.C. Highway Patrol (BCHP) says it has no concrete plans to leave the North Thompson.

Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell and Barriere Mayor Ward Stamer have both been made aware of centralization plans for the highway division of B.C. RCMP.

That may include relocating Clearwater-based BCHP officers to Kamloops.

In an email to CFJC Today, BCHP spokesperson Cpl. Mike Moore says no decisions on relocating officers have been made.

“For the last number of years, BCHP has been looking at different ways to meet the needs of both the communities we serve and the needs and expectations of local governments to arrive at the safest roads possible,” says Moore in the email. “At this point, there has not been any decisions made in relation to moving any positions within BCHP.”
