Overall calls to the Sicamous RCMP have seen a small increase, but it's the number of impaired drivers that is cause for concern with Sgt. Murray McNeil.
At the May 14 Committee of the Whole meeting, McNeil presented his quarterly report with the crime statistics for January to March, with total calls at 500 over the 429 last year, while roadside suspensions were 215 and impaired charges jumped to 27.
