Building a Safer and Brighter Community Together…

The High Level Peace Officer Program is comprised of two full time Community Peace Officers who enforce select Provincial Acts and Bylaws.

The Peace Officers, along with the RCMP, work towards maintaining a safe and viable community. The Peace Officers assist Council in their goal of Town Beautification with proactive patrolling, partnering with the citizens of the Town through voluntary compliance, and building positive liaisons with local agencies.

The Peace Officers are duly appointed as Community Peace Officers under the Peace Officer Act and as Bylaw Enforcement Officers under the Municipal Government Act.
