The Nelson Police Department has reportedly experienced unexpected staffing shortages and will be leaning on the local RCMP Detachment to help fill the gaps.
A press release from the department says the move ensures officers can maintain service delivery to the citizens, businesses and visitors of Nelson.
While the department has hired new officers, it says recent developments and some unexpected departures have made this move necessary.
RCMP officers will be augmenting some Nelson Police Department shifts in areas where it’s short officers.
“So do not be surprised when you call for assistance or to report a crime and an RCMP officer arrives,” said a statement from NPD.
There will be no change or disruption in service.
