Quesnel/100 Mile News

In Quesnel:

* Recently acquired mountain bikes will assist Quesnel RCMP Bike Patrol - see here

Editor's Note - this is something WL City Councillor SPS Rathor has tried to get for the WL RCMP but has not yet been successful.  Williams Lake RCMP have, in the past, had a bike patrol but we haven't had one here for a little while now and I think it would be good to have a bike patrol in addition to our local Community Policing people to enhance proactive police patrols.  It may very well be that WL Council may have to prioritize this as a goal for policing in Willliams Lake and as far as equipment goes - we could turn to our local business community and the BIA to partner acquiring the necessary bikes and equipment to make a bike patrol a reality
