Host Peter McCully welcomes Staff Sgt. Travis De Coene of the Oceanside RCMP, who provides insights into his experiences and challenges as a law enforcement officer.

De Coene reflects on his return to the Island, childhood influences shaping his career choice, and a defining moment during a severe storm that tested the resilience of his team in Hope.

McCully asked about the impact of technology on policing.

"Big thing with us is AI hasn't really affected us too much right now,” said De Coene. “ALPR allows us to scan 360; it looks at all the plates, and it can run hundreds and hundreds of plates an hour."

De Coene says recruitment is a significant challenge for law enforcement agencies, including the RCMP.

“It's really challenging,” he said. “And of course, it's not just the RCMP, it's every other municipal force in the country that's all vying for that same small group of people."

De Coene also offers valuable advice on recognizing and avoiding potential threats and scams.
