Welcome to Kelowna Talks, a podcast presented by the City of Kelowna that explores the why behind the decisions that shape your city. Tune in for weekly episodes with host Bob Evans, Partnerships Office Director with the City of Kelowna, as he welcomes guest subject matter experts to explain the “why” behind the processes and decisions that influence the lives of our citizens.

This week, Bob is joined by Kelowna RCMP superintendent Kara Triance to discuss community safety. Originally from Kelowna, Supt. Triance has more than 20 years of policing experience under her belt. From covert operations to big city policing, Supt. Triance brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our city. 

How is the city adjusting policing to meet the growth of Kelowna? How does healthcare impact crime in our city? Why does policing cost so much? Efforts are on to bridge the gap between crime, the justice system and health care.
