Police Need More Space

By Pete McIntyre 107.5 KISSFM

The Vernon RCMP say they need a short term solution to meet their growing space demands. Inspector Steve McVarnock says the long term plan is to expand their current building, but he says they need help before that. He says city officials have agreed to make it a priority in the wake of Saturday's failed referendum. "They know that we, as well as other divisions, are busting at the seams in terms of space. So if the 'No' vote was to win, which it had, the city will be making it their business to look at existing sites in the community right now to assist with the overflow." McVarnock says he's at a point where there won't be space for the next incoming staff member. Meantime, there was no discussion about the referendum---or what may happen next---at Monday's city council meeting.
