The annual RCMP Cop Camp got underway on Friday, May 3 at Mount Boucherie Secondary School (MBSS).
The overnight camp is held over the weekend with 24 students from Grades 10-12 and the West Kelowna RCMP Indigenous Policing Services in partnership with Westbank First Nations and MBSS.
According to Const. Rohel Williams, the goal of the camp is to help build a stronger community relationship between the RCMP and Indigenous communities.
Students will take part in a graduation ceremony on Monday after they have participated in the camp and get an up-close look at many policing aspects including:
