‘I’m firm on those individuals that are going to incite violence’: New Kamloops’ top cop committed to reduce crime
KAMLOOPS — More than anything, residents in Kamloops are frustrated about the amount of crime and violence happening in the city.
The 2021 census outlined how crime files in Kamloops hit a five-year high at 13,000 files.
It was the No. 1 issue on the campaign trail and new mayor-elect Reid Hamer-Jackson shoulders some of the pressure, as does new Kamloops RCMP superintendent Jeff Pelley, who officially takes over the role on Wednesday.
