2024 Kelowna RCMP officer likely breached criminal negligence threshold in wellness check.

The officer, who was sent to an apartment building after an out-of-province call requesting a check on an extremely sick individual, allegedly failed to "properly comply with his sworn duty to protect life," according to a report by IIO Director Ron MacDonald.
