Battlefords RCMP remain active despite mostly empty streets
Essential services remain hard at work in the Battlefords during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The RCMP detachment has only had to make a few adjustments amidst increased safety measures and less people visible on the streets.
“We’re one of those services that doesn’t really change in a situation like this,” said Sgt. Jason Teniuk. “It’s a critical service that has to be provided and the members are doing their best to keep that up.”
One of the biggest surprises has been the number of calls to the station. The volume over the past week has kept with the usual numbers seen in the area, despite most of the public participating in self-isolation.
