Police Officers vs. MD Peace Officers
Working hand-in-hand with community members.
The MD’s community peace officers work closely with RCMP officers and other agencies to tackle complex issues and promote effective law enforcement. While both enforce important legislation, their roles and responsibilities differ.
RCMP officers are responsible for investigating and enforcing federal, provincial, and municipal laws—including Criminal Code offenses—throughout the province, serving both urban and rural communities. By contrast, peace officers focus on enforcing municipal bylaws and provincial laws within their specific municipalities, ensuring community standards are upheld.
Our MD peace officers are available Monday to Friday from 8:15am to 4:30pm at 780.849.4888 (toll-free at 1.866.449.4888) or by email at [email protected].
If you need immediate emergency assistance with fire, ambulance or police-related issues, please DIAL 911.
