Statement
“All of our hearts go out to the family, friends and colleagues of the Burnaby RCMP officer who died today.
“She was doing her job, working to protect her community and paid with her life. We owe her and all law enforcement officers who put themselves at risk a great debt.
"I hope this tragedy serves as a wake-up call and that we honour this fallen officer with something more than words. Penticton is ready to do our part to protect our residents.”
“I know the new council is prepared to come to the table and work with the provincial government to translate talk into action. Our community is clear that they are tired of not feeling safe and want to see action."
