News that BC RCMP will be seeing their budget slashed by $4 million has people in rural communities worried.
Chief Wilf Adam from the Babine First Nation says what little enforcement there is, isn’t even enough.
“To reduce it further is just going to be a lot of misery to our communities,” he says. “Sometimes the RCMP do not have the full personel to deal with issues in our smaller communities.”
Adam is also concerned that the province is cutting the RCMP’s major crimes unit, which he says dooms the investigation into missing and murdered women along the Highway of Tears to be forgotten even further.
