Ponoka’s Police Advisory Committee inviting community input on public safety and crime prevention

Apr 3, 2023 | 3:16 PM

The Town of Ponoka Police Advisory Committee is looking for input from local citizens about public safety and crime prevention.

Town officials say the committee has launched a ‘Questionnaire for Community Input’ to give citizens the opportunity to voice their thoughts and ideas on how to keep Ponoka a safe and secure community. The ‘Questionnaire for Community Input’ can be found on the Town of Ponoka’s online engagement website at www.LetsTalkPonoka.ca.

To participate in the online ‘Questionnaire for Community Input’ and other Town projects on the Let’s Talk Ponoka website, citizens will be asked to register for the site by providing their email and postal code. Town officials say all personal information is kept confidential. By registering, users can also receive updates on Police Advisory Committee initiatives and other Town projects, and their input can help guide decision making by the Town.

“The Police Advisory Committee’s main role is to give our local citizens a voice on public safety and crime prevention. That is why we are inviting people to fill out this questionnaire and to come chat with committee members at the Town of Ponoka’s booth at the Ponoka Trade Show on Saturday, April 15,” said Sandra Lund, Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for the Town of Ponoka. CAO Lund serves in a resource role on the committee.

Come and Meet Committee Members

Citizens can come and chat with members of the Police Advisory Committee at the Town booth at the Ponoka Trade Show on Saturday, April 15 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Arena Complex (4410 54 Street). During this event, paper copies of the ‘Questionnaire for Community Input’ will be available to fill out.

If you’re unable to attend the Trade Show, paper copies of the survey are also available at the Town Office on the second floor of the Ponoka Civic Centre (200, 5604 50 Street).

What is the Police Advisory Committee?

The Police Advisory Committee is described as an advisory committee to Ponoka Town Council. The committee passes along any feedback and concerns about crime prevention and public safety issues identified by residents to town council, the local RCMP and the Town’s Chief Administrative Officer.
