RCMP

Yellowhead County contracts, through the Solicitor Generals Department, two “enhanced” RCMP officers to work in the County as well as in the towns of Edson and Hinton with emphasis on drug enforcement and awareness issues in the region.

Yellowhead County employs Community Peace Officers with various limited Provincial Authority to enforce certain provincial statutes with emphasis on protection of infrastructure and enforcement of all applicable municipal by-laws.

The Community Peace Officers will cooperate with the RCMP and other municipal and provincial enforcement agencies when appropriate.

Yellowhead County Management maintains a positive working relationship with the local RCMP detachments and insures that information flows between the municipality and the RCMP relative to policing issues in the community.
