The former director of strategic communications for the Nova Scotia RCMP now says communications procedures need to change.
Lia Scanlan broke down in tears as she told a public inquiry into the deaths of 22 people in April of 2020 the procedures she used to alert residents about an active shooter led to a crucial delay.
That's not what she told inquiry investigators last September, when she insisted she would not have done anything differently.
It took more than three hours for the R-C-M-P to warn people that the killer was driving a car that looked exactly like an RCMP cruiser.
