RCMP won’t say why Kelowna’s top cop hasn’t been at work for a week

KELOWNA – RCMP have quietly filled the postion of superintendent for Kelowna with a temporary replacement, but they're not saying why.

No reason has been given.

Insp. Brent Mundle is the Acting Officer in Charge of the Kelowna detachment in the meantime.
