The Nelson Police Department is eager to find any ways of easing the stresses on their limited officer numbers.
This from Chief Wayne Holland following a private meeting between the Police Board and city council Tuesday amid ongoing tension over council’s rejection of a request for two new officers.
Mayor Deb Kozak called the meeting very positive and a first step in collaborating with every agency to help address police stressors like the amount of mental health call-outs.
The Nelson Police Board has called on the Provincial Police Services Division to do a review to see if Nelson’s officer numbers are enough.
