Local jurisdictions , this patrol car bearing Delta Police Markings is from a community in the lower mainland.It was recently seen going through our south central interior city on who knows what duty. We have the Royal Canadian Mounted Police here. About 20 officers contracted to the City from that Federal Police Force. British Columbia contracts the most with the Federal Government Force There is no Provincial police only city ones and that results in 38 percent, there about, of the RCMP’s contracted members being in BC. Of the 20 odd members that are here some of them have federal duties including First Nations Policing . A flow chart issued by them shows four lines of responsibility each under a corporal, an operations Sargent ,and one Staff Sargent as NCO in charge.

Their small sign is displayed on a structure that had a for sale sign on it for the parking lot. Who knows what kind of tensions were up with electronic banking the cost of land for regulated parking obligations and politics. However we are glad to see the parking for the downtown place resolved. the fact that :
