Vernon councillor calls on province to consider adjusting decriminalization rules
Description

This after the city's top cop told council the changes create challenges for her officers. While neither the councillor nor the police superintendent is calling for the trial policy to be scrapped, there are a lot of impacts to discuss as decriminalization heads into its second month.
