If you are unable to attend the Public Engagement and Information Night, you can view an information brochure about the committee and complete a Police Advisory Committee questionnaire on the Town website at www.ponoka.ca.

The primary role of the committee is to give local citizens a voice on public safety and crime prevention matters in order to help foster and maintain a safe and secure community in Ponoka.

“We do this by inviting local community input at events like this upcoming Public Engagement and Information Night. We then pass on valid concerns and feedback about public safety or crime prevention issues to our Town representatives and the RCMP member who sit on the advisory committee for their consideration,” explains Brittany Sande, Chairperson of the Police Advisory Committee.
