The Nelson Police Department is experiencing a welcome resolution to the staffing challenges it faced earlier this year. Back in April, the department announced significant personnel shortages, requiring the assistance of RCMP officers from neighboring detachments, such as Castlegar, to cover shifts. However, Nelson Police are now reporting improved staffing levels.
According to Inspector Jason Jewkes, the department has recently seen notable developments in its workforce. On June 2, a new sergeant joined the team, followed by another recruitment on July 1. Additionally, a previously absent team member has returned, and a fresh graduate from the Justice Institute of BC is slated to start soon.
Though the RCMP's assistance remains a part of the department's strategy, it's primarily utilized during peak demand periods. Inspector Jewkes noted that they continually assess and adjust coverage requirements.
