📣 Smithers RCMP Community Update ‼️

✨ Proactive Policing + 🚔 Enforcement + 🎯 Training = Stronger Community

🔹 Search Warrant
Yesterday, Smithers RCMP executed a search warrant at a residence on Astlais Place. A 45-year-old man was arrested. Because of concerns regarding fi****ms, additional police resources were present to ensure safety. If charges are approved by the BC Prosecution Service, we will share an update in a formal media release.

🔹 Fi****ms Training
Today, our members completed their fi****ms qualifications with the pistol, shotgun, and carbine. Training days like this ensure our officers remain skilled and prepared to respond safely in any situation. We are fortunate that our very own Acting Detachment Commander Sgt. Ryan Law is also a fi****ms instructor, and he led our team through the qualifications. Having these instructor-level resources embedded within our detachment strengthens our ability to serve the community.

🔹 Community Concerns
We know many in our community are concerned about the impacts of drugs and related crime. We will continue to do our part through proactive enforcement, prevention, and by working closely with local partners to address these challenges together.
