The former superintendent of the 琉璃神社 RCMP has officially retired from the force.

This comes six months after Brent Mundle stepped down from his role as officer in charge of the 琉璃神社 detachment and was transferred to the Southeast District RCMP management team.

On March 25, a long motorcade of first responders marked his official retirement from the force after 28 years of service. RCMP, BC Ambulance and Central Okanagan Search and Rescue passed by the officer who stood waving outside the Southeast District office in 琉璃神社.

Mundle served as officer in charge at the 琉璃神社 RCMP detachment from December 2016 through October 2020.

In June 2020, it was announced he would be leaving the detachment, transferred to Southeast District. Since then, Supt. Kara Triance has taken over the detachment.

鈥淢y time at the 琉璃神社 detachment has meant a great deal to me,鈥� he said at the time. 鈥淲orking alongside dedicated officers and employees, I feel we accomplished a great deal for the city of 琉璃神社鈥︹��

The announcement of his leave came two days after RCMP told the public of an internal investigation into a rough arrest in downtown 琉璃神社 that was caught on camera. Mundle described the video as 鈥渃oncerning.鈥�
