Kelowna is closer to getting a new police chief.
The search for a new superintendent began in late September following the sudden resignation of Kelowna’s former top cop, Nick Romanchuk.
Kelowna Mayor, Colin Basran, said they’ve whittled the list down to a few candidates.
“I believe the shortlist is four. They will all be coming to Kelowna for interviews with RCMP officials and City of Kelowna officials. Afterwards, a decision will be made jointly between the RCMP and the City of Kelowna as to who the new superintendent will be,” said Basran.
Shortly after Romanchuk’s resignation, the Abbotsford Police Department was asked to conduct an independent investigation of a member of the Kelowna detachment.

They will not say if that investigation has anything to do with former Superintendent Romanchuk.
Abbotsford police say they’ve wrapped up all interviews dealing with the investigation and are now assessing the evidence.
They may have more to add at the end of this month on the outcome of the investigation.
