Police attended the scene twice Thursday afternoon, incident highlights 9-1-1 protocol

Concerns about how the Prince George RCMP handled reports of a vagrant man who lit two separate fires in front Prince George Aquatic Centre Thursday afternoon before he went inside to smoke drugs in a changing room stall were explained by the detachment’s media relations officer.

According to Cooper, a police officer arrived about 20 minutes later and could not locate the man, and after seeing the first fire on the property had been extinguished he left the scene. When the man moved inside the building and locked himself in one of the changeroom stalls to smoke what smelled like marijuana, the attendant called police again and public access to the changeroom area was closed.

“The suspect was told in no uncertain terms that he was not to keep hanging around the pool and he left and did not go back, that we know of.”
