On the evening of January 31, 2022, a Kelowna RCMP Constable was patrolling Glenmore Drive in Kelowna when he observed a man in a powered wheel chair sitting in oncoming traffic.
The Constable looped around and spoke with the man who reported the battery on his wheel chair had died and he had been stranded on the side of the road in cold for nearly three hours.
The Constable made attempts to arrange a ride for the man and transport his chair; however, these attempts were not successful so with that, the Constable called another member for assistance.
Together, the Constables from Watch 3 pushed the man back to his residence while their Corporal patrolled ahead keeping the road clear and safe along the way.
The man was very appreciative and his family called the detachment the following week to express their gratitude and thank these members from Watch 3 for going “above and beyond” the call of duty.
Our thanks to the Kelowna RCMP for the information
