Oceanside Community Safety

Victims and Survivors of Crime Week in Canada runs from May 15 to 21, 2022. Oceanside RCMP Victim Services hopes to raise the awareness of the law, local issues and services by holding three free information sessions in Parksville.

Would you write about selling a vehicle? I have friends who sold a car and months later they received information that the car was in an impound lot.

During this time period the Oceanside RCMP received 226 complaints.

I want you to focus your writing on the driving behaviour of many police officers. I realize that not all of them only follow the rules when it is convenient, but there is a significant number of them. Why don't they follow the traffic rules like the rest of us?
