Cochrane RCMP are letting the public know that criminal record checks, vulnerable sector checks, and civil fingerprinting will have limited days and hours soon.

Constable Jennifer Brewer says beginning November 14, the detachment will only be offering these services on specific days.

"We will only do them on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday's between 9 am and 3 pm."

Cst. Brewer says trying to handle the demand was quite tricky.

"We are getting so inundated with these, that having the staff on hand to assist with that is quite tricky just because we don't know for sure, okay we are going to have this many today and this many tomorrow."

Without having a firm grasp, week to week, scheduling staff to handle the paperwork was becoming an issue.

"We don't always have enough people on hand to handle the overflow of those things, plus the complaints for service."

Brewer says setting a select schedule will allow the RCMP to make sure they have staff in place to cover it.
