The Grande Prairie Rural RCMP will relocate to the Western Alberta District Office, effective February 24th.
Officials suggest the transition will provide residents with a continued level of high-quality service in the region’s more rural areas.
According to the RCMP, the Grande Prairie Municipal Detachment will no longer handle rural policing inquiries or services after the 24th; however, Corporal James Johnston maintains that residents can expect the same level of service and support out of their new location.
“This move will not affect our day-to-day operations and calls for service will continue to be answered 24/7,” he says.Â
Following the transition date, residents in the areas of Sexsmith, Bad Heart, Clairmont, Webster, Braeburn, Buffalo Lake, Teepee Creek, Bezanson, Debolt, Dimsdale, Goodwin, Ridge Valley, Grovedale, and Crooked Creek are asked to direct all policing matters to the new office, located at 10605 Westside Drive, in Grande Prairie.
