Kamloops RCMP say missing persons files draining resources
KAMLOOPS — The RCMP Superintendent says a growing number of missing persons files is draining on resources at the Kamloops detachment and something needs to change.
In his address to the community safety committee on Monday, Supt. Brad Mueller says more missing persons files are popping up, and the RCMP are becoming the first point of contact.
“Any time we’re dealing with missing or high-risk youth, it’s very labour-intensive and takes a great deal of police resources to move that file forward,” said Mueller.
