PARKSVILLE — The province’s independent police oversight agency is looking into potential actions of Oceanside RCMP officers following a March 24 arrest.
The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) say Mounties were dispatched to a Parksville motel on March 24, 2025 at around 8:40 p.m. after an abandoned 911 call came from a room at the business.
Police were told the room where the call came from was registered to a woman “who was the subject of a current check wellbeing request”, the IIO notes.
A report from the IIO said “an interaction” occurred between police and the woman, which led to her arrest.
