Residents invited to RCMP and Enforcement Services town halls

The community is invited to join RCMP officer in charge superintendent Dale Kendall and RCMP and Enforcement Services director Tom Sutton at a community information session on policing and enforcement services in Strathcona County. Residents are welcome to ask questions following the short presentation. Questions may also be submitted in advance at rcmptownhall@strathcona.ca.

This year, the community town hall sessions will be held in-person from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. on two dates: October 25 in Sherwood Park (Community Centre, 401 Festival Lane) and October 27 in Ardrossan (Memorial Hall, 60 First Avenue).

Each year, RCMP and Enforcement Services establish policing and municipal enforcement priorities to ensure their members focus on issues the public identifies as important. The priorities are identified through community conversations, the 2022 policing priorities survey and relevant sources of information that include statistics, crime trends and partner input.

By collaborating with the community on priorities and planning, RCMP and Enforcement Services is better able to support community safety, resiliency and overall well-being while reducing crime and other harmful social impacts. The townhalls also provide an opportunity for residents to ask questions, provide feedback and share ideas.

RCMP and Enforcement Services work together to ensure Strathcona County is a safe community. They are integrated in the overall responsibility for public safety, law enforcement, evidence gathering, support for victims of crime, traffic enforcement, and education and public awareness through community policing.

Together, they are committed to preserving the peace, upholding the law and providing quality services in partnership with the community.
