New Crime Suppression Units were among the key topics discussed as council reviewed the latest RCMP report this week.

The report included updates on crime statistics, policing initiatives, and preparations for Nickel Days.

Mayor Colleen Smook says the arrival of the first two Crime Suppression Units stood out as a significant milestone for the community.

Smook says the city has been advocating for the units for several years and is encouraged by the increased RCMP presence and patrols aimed at deterring unwanted activity in the downtown area.
