HALIFAX - The premier of Nova Scotia says the RCMP must change how they alert the public to dangerous incidents following the high-profile arrest of a gunman who remained at large for 19 hours.
Stephen McNeil made the comment Thursday as questions arose about why it took more than three hours on Wednesday for the Mounties to request a provincewide Alert Ready message to warn residents about a manhunt that spanned two provinces. The RCMP has an issue when it comes to whether or not they want to use emergency alerts, the premier said after a cabinet meeting. They need to fix their protocol.
