On Monday, at a Committee of the Whole meeting, the RCMP said that Community Safety Officers are making a positive impact by taking some of the burden off them.

Mayor Colleen Smook explains more.

"We keep hearing from the RCMP how helpful our CSOs are, even down to as low as a couple of them but again, we are up to a compliment of four and they do definitely help the RCMP. At the Public Safety  Committee meeting yesterday, they show that they had lodged more then 300 people over the last year and dispensed of 4600 plus open bottles of liquor."

The RCMP stated they have lots of new recruits who have arrived and expect to be arriving soon
