While High Prairie town council decides how to deploy its peace officers, several other communities are very pleased with the service provided.
So much so, in fact, they want to increase the service provided.
Town of Falher CAO James Bell wrote council June 17 asking to appear as a delegation at a future meeting. He was scheduled to appear at council’s meeting June 23.
“The purpose of the delegation is to discuss a potential extension to the existing Bylaw Enforcement Services Agreement between our municipalities, and to explore opportunities for continued collaboration in the delivery of these services, wrote Bell.
Bell added representatives from the Village of Girouxville and Town of McLennan may join him, reflecting a coordinated regional interest.
High Prairie sends its peace officers to Smoky River to provide the service on a contracted basis. The agreement and fees were updated last year.
