Insp. Kevin Hewco has been selected as the successful candidate to lead
the Penticton RCMP detachment and South Okanagan regional command. Hewco comes to Penticton from the North Cowichan RCMP detachment, based in Duncan. "Insp. Hewco understands policing in BC and the safety needs of
communities. We are thrilled to have an officer of his calibre join the
Penticton detachment and South Okanagan region," said
Acting Mayor Garry Litke. Hewco has been a Mountie for more than 26 years, joining the RCMP in 1986 after earning
a Bachelor of Economics and Political Science from the University of Alberta. After training in Regina, he was assigned to Whistler and Kelowna for

the regional commander for Penticton and Regional District of
Okanagan-Similkameen communities. "I am excited to return to the valley, and particularly Penticton and
the South Okanagan. The region is beautiful and the communities are warm
and welcoming. I can't wait to begin the new role," said Hewco. Hewco is anticipated to join the Penticton detachment this summer, with the date dependant on finalizing housing arrangements.Wednesday, May 15, 2013
