Where are city RCMP on the weekend?

Can someone explain why our police stations are shut on a Sunday?Are the RCMP frightened of the general public now, the public who pay their wages, the public who the RCMP are always wanting more money from?

Are the RCMP frightened of the general public now, the public who pay their wages, the public who the RCMP are always wanting more money from?

My son was at a downtown nightclub on Saturday and had his car keyed — very bad, maybe $3,000 worth of damage.

So as a responsible Red Deer resident, I try to phone the club he was at on a Sunday morning, thinking maybe cleaning staff would be there. I received no answer and have tried twice since.

I also Facebooked the club, with still no reply.

As a Red Deer taxpayer I think this needs reporting to the RCMP — and there is no station open on a Sunday

You have to phone them and you may receive a phone call back today or tomorrow.

Never mind that the person may have a job to be at on a Monday and not be able to answer their phone. What a joke.

So one has to waste their Sunday morning driving around Red Deer to try to find a police station open, to report this damage, which is extensive — to be feeling let down and frustrated.

Does no one else in Red Deer wonder why our RCMP stations are shut to the general public, who they are supposed to be serving?

Everywhere else is open on a Sunday in Red Deer — even the doctors’ surgeries have opening hours for a Sunday.

Editors note: The RCMP returned Dodd’s call on Sunday and informed her that there is a button to push for assistance after hours.
