The County of Grande Prairie is welcoming its first-ever Community Safety Coordinator Corrine James.
James is described as having a wealth of knowledge and boasts nearly 30 years of experience in public safety and health. She currently works for the Government of Alberta as the Lead Investigator for Occupational Health and Safety.
According to the county, the role demonstrates the municipality’s commitment to tackling rural crime. In her new position, James will be tasked with working and connecting with residents and law enforcement to implement crime prevention and community policing initiatives, which she says is one of her passions.
“I’m passionate about connecting with communities, listening to their needs, and working together to create a safer, healthier environment,” she says. “This role allows me to engage with residents and provide the support they need to make the County an even better place to live.”
The county says they will be counting on Corrine to remain actively involved in the community to ensure public safety is paramount throughout her time with the county.
