The Kelowna RCMP detachment was the site of a protest earlier this week.
On Monday, former and current officers gathered outside the building on Clement to protest the force's response to treating its employees for PTSD.
Kelowna Officer in Charge Brent Mundle says programs have lacked depth in the past.
"PTSD is very complex, and it's a mental health issue. Obviously, you can't go at it with a cookie cutter approach, different people require different solutuions. And that's one of the things as an organization I think we're struggling (with), and we're working towards finding out what works" he said.
Mundle says in many cases, the local force has to take its cues from the national bosses.
"It essentially comes from top-down, with respect to a lot of our health services priorities and what we can do service-wise, but locally we attempt to do things as well, he said.
"We have some initiatives here that we're attempting currently to partner with UBCO on. And we have peer-to-peer programs internally, we expect our employees to be checking in with each other to ensure everybody's doing fine."
Last year, the RCMP reported 249 new long-term disability claims filed, with 46.9% based on mental health issues.
That was roughly a 5% increase from 2014.
