When Melanie Patton was told what happened, she said she didn t believe it. I remember saying, `No, you mean he s in the hospital and they re working on him, she said. It s hard to handle. You just go numb.
Patton said she believes her son shouldn t have been working alone and that a shortage of members is putting officers in peril.
Patton works as a civilian member of the RCMP in Stettler, Alta. She said she took the job at her son s encouragement. We re so short-staffed, she said. We might only have one (member) going to a priority call in the middle of nowhere, too far for help to come fast enough.
