Recently Parkland County Enforcement Services received a complaint about people using drugs on the property behind one of our local Community Halls. Concern was also expressed that people had been parking there overnight, smoking and loitering in the gazebo at the property. In direct response to the complaint, several Peace Officer patrols were conducted to ensure that this type of activity did not continue, while follow-up patrols safeguarded against future relapse of undesirable activities.
