Bye-Bye Spruceland, hello Brunswick street.
The Spruceland Community Policing office is closing up shop and operations will be amalgamated with the downtown operations at the new Brunswick Street location. The move takes effect November 6th.
The main reason for the change is money. Community Policing says there were rising operational costs inclduing costs to upgrade the site to meet the new Community Policing visual identity, and the costs to upgrade security measures that meet RCMP standards.
The dollars that had been used by Spruceland, will now be redistributed to the Brunswick Street and Hart locations. .

Seems to be a money issue, I guess that's why the RCMP are locking dwon towns such as Trail, Castlegar and others to make money on seat belt use, speeding tickets etc. They are actually closing the towns off, every access in and out fining motorists for anything they can. It's sure nice to live in a free country where there is a roadblock everywhere you go.
During the same talk show I was listening to at the time the RCMP said they are doubling, tripling and quadrupaling their radar traps hoping after you go through the first one there will be three other within kilometers of the first to issue you a ticket.
Sounds like entrapment and a money maker to me and those funds could be donated to the policing centers such as the Spruceland one insted of going to the Christmas party fund..
