Cpl. Scott Wilson, Kamloops RCMP
Scott Wilson has over 20 years of service within the RCMP in a number of communities, mainly operational policing. He has always recognized the value of proactive programs in each of his postings. He believes any community based program in policing has the ability to raise awareness. Awareness, coupled with some level of action can create positive change, thus reducing the incidents of crime and victims. It is the responsibility of all citizens in any given community to assume some level of ownership for community issues, and take some step(s) towards making things better. The messaging and activities within these programs must be constant, credible and clearly show the value for the people".
