Turtle Mountain RCMP have issued a remdined for people in need of help.

Periodically the Killarney RCMP answering machine has messages left on it with someone needing a police officer right away. Police say if you need an RCMP member immediately, call the dispatch line 204-523-7255. This number goes directly to the RCMP dispatch in Winnipeg and not to 911 so only a police officer will be dispatched.

Messages left on the machine "may not" get checked until the following morning. Members can be tied up with a file, on patrol or there may not be a Killarney member on that shift and members could be in Boissevain or Deloraine.
