Thank you for sharing your thoughts on local safety concerns by taking the Annual Policing Priorities Survey!

Wood Buffalo RCMP set policing priorities each year. These priorities ensure that, in addition to responding to calls for service, officers focus on policing issues that are in line with local concerns.

They have analyzed input gathered from the community response survey, statistics, calls for service, crime trends and concerns from community stakeholders and partners. By evaluating all this information, they set the policing priorities portion of the upcoming year’s Detachment (Annual) Performance Plan (as shown below).

Wood Buffalo RCMP presented the 2024-2025 Annual Performance Plan at the Council meeting on April 9 - visit rmwb.ca/council to watch a recording of that meeting. The What We Heard Report is available to summarize what community survey participants had to say.

You can also join the virtual public meeting on Thursday, April 18, from 12-1 p.m. to learn more and ask questions about the Annual Performance Plan.

Ask a Cop a Question

Students in grades seven and eight submitted hundreds of questions to Wood Buffalo RCMP throughout the Ask a Cop a Question campaign that ran from Jan. 9-Feb. 26 2023. Based on participation, a school influencer was chosen to co-host the panel discussion at their school and was awarded a pizza party for their class.
