On Monday April 21, 2025 the Kelowna RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) executed a one-day project on Dougall Road and Highway 33 in the Rutland neighbourhood targeting criminal behaviour in the area.

Officers were successful disrupting criminal activity and were able to identify other potential targets for future enforcement projects. The results from this particular project by CRU has made significant impact in the community with the following seizures;

This project was a significant success, reflecting the dedication and coordination of the Crime Reduction Unit, said Sgt. Scott Powrie of the CRU. We will continue to relentlessly target individuals involved in the drug trade, disrupting their operations and removing dangerous substances from our streets. The success of this initiative lays a strong foundation for future, more in-depth projects aimed at dismantling organized criminal networks and improving community safety.

If you are a witness or a victim of crime, police urge you to report it. For non-emergencies, you can report by calling the Kelowna RCMP non-emergency line at 250-762-3300, attend the detachment, or report online at https://ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/kelowna/en.
