The Parkland RCMP Detachment is looking to get feedback from the public and hear their concerns on Tuesday, November 14.
There will be a Community Policing Town Hall on November 14 at 7:00 at the Aspen Lodge which is upstairs in the Parkland Rec Complex. There will be presentations on area crime trends, policing priorities, and crime reduction strategies.
Scott Linklater is a sergeant with the Dauphin RCMP and he says it's the perfect time for a meeting.
"Policing in the area has changed and I don't think we have really had a chance to talk to the public about changes," said Linklater. "This is an important step and we are looking forward to the town hall on November 14."
The meeting is open to the public and while there is no timeline for when the meeting will end, it is guaranteed to be very in-depth. There will also be a question and answer period prior to the end of the meeting.
"I'm hoping that there will be a better understanding between the detachment and residents," said Linklater. "We're going to answer general questions as best we can."
While we all have a role in staying safe and keeping our community safe, Linklater wanted to add that the RCMP will always be here to serve and protect.
"We want to make sure everyone is safe and we want to make sure everyone is able to live their best lives," ended Linklater. "We understand there is crime in this area, we are addressing it, and we want the public to know that."
