Year-to-year RCMP statistics show property crime in Prince George has dropped 11 per cent

27My sense is that crimes against small business simply go unreported. Why bother? Nothing happens to the criminals. We’ve been abandoned. We’re on our own.

No jail time for shoplifter who stole items for daughters he hadn't seen in years
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 20“Crown prosecutor Stephanie Bowick sought a 30-day jail sentence and one-year probation, based on Golar’s criminal record. Bowick said he had breached 25 orders, undertakings and probation and was convicted five previous times for theft. His last time in jail was 2017, a 120-day sentence for assault causing bodily harm.“

Another tiny home destroyed by fire at Moccasin Flats
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 17Very lucky nobody has died. I suspect, sadly, it’s only a matter of time. Why no new treatment beds?

Finance committee discusses what it would take to lower 2026 tax hike
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 15Our city’s population has been stagnant for 3-decades. The forest industry is getting creamed. Major industry is shrinking. Good paying, private sector jobs are on the endangered-species list and city staff is proposing an increase in FTEs and a tax increase 3x the rate of inflation. Really?

Downtown security cameras up and running soon
PrinceGeorgeCitizenThis is a great idea. Just a thought, but rather than the city buying all the cameras, why doesn’t the city offer 5-year interest free loans to business owners downtown? The annual payment could be folded into their annual tax bills. Much less cost to the city and the (likely) high uptake will get more cameras operational, sooner.

Toxic drug alert issued for Prince George
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 7Not mentioned in the article - a sure fire way to not get killed from bad drugs is to “not do drugs”. If you need help getting clean please get help as soon as possible.

Council decides city won't sign on to RCMP Auxiliary
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 5The RCMP Auxiliary can play a useful role in supporting the full-time RCMP members. Considering the manpower challenges facing the RCMP, I’m not sure this it’s a good idea to say “no” to more uniformed support.
