Kelowna council has decided to close the KLO Community Policing Office and instead boost resources at the Rutland Community Policing Office.
It’s part of a review of all existing RCMP crime prevention programs and services.
“From 2014 to spring 2020, the KLO CPO, staffed by city employees, provided limited assistance to the public including minor offence reporting, connection with police members and the provision of information relating to crime prevention and community policing concerns,” a staff report to council stated.
The Uptown Rutland Business Association and the Rutland Residents Association have asked for enhanced policing services in their community.
