Municipality partners with RCMP to share new policing priorities

Wood Buffalo residents invited to join region-wide virtual town hall for policing priorities announcement  

Wood Buffalo RCMP has identified their policing priorities for 2021 – 2022 and look forward to announcing these priorities to residents of the region in a virtual town hall being held Thursday, May 13, 2021.

“I want to be very transparent in sharing these policing priorities with Wood Buffalo residents as our staff works hard to provide the best service possible to our communities,” says Mark Hancock, Officer in Charge of the Wood Buffalo Detachment. “The RCMP Policing Priorities Survey identified what is most important to our community at this time. We’re really looking forward to connecting with the community and sharing our plan for the new fiscal year through this virtual live event.”
