"I am thankful to the City of Kelowna not only for the opportunity to lead the RCMP in this community, but also to be welcomed as a part of it. I look forward to continuing to serve and support the city of Kelowna in my new role within the Southeast District," Mundle said in a statement issued by the Kelowna RCMP.
Mundle has been with the Kelowna RCMP for three and a half years. He is now moving to a position within the Southeast District Senior Management Team, according to the statement.
Mundle came to Kelowna in July of 2015 as the Operations Officer. He took over from the previous Detachment Commander into the role of Officer in Charge of the Kelowna RCMP in December of 2016, according to the statement.
With 27 years in the RCMP, mostly in Alberta, before moving to B.C., the posting in Kelowna was a homecoming.

"My time at the Kelowna Detachment has meant a great deal to me. Working alongside dedicated officers and employees, I feel we accomplished a great deal for the city of Kelowna, implementing many programs and initiatives that will benefit the community and its citizens," said Mundle in the statement. "I am thankful to the City of Kelowna not only for the opportunity to lead the RCMP in this community, but also to be welcomed as a part of it. I look forward to continuing to serve and support the city of Kelowna in my new role within the Southeast District."
