If you suspect someone is dealing or trafficking drugs, you should report your concerns to Parkland RCMP along with all pertinent information you have. The RCMP has specialized units that target drug related offences as well as units that work with schools and students. The information you have may be critical to an ongoing investigation or may start a new one. If you see it, report it!

Why do we have both bylaw and police officers?

Peace Officers and RCMP Officer have different authorities and mandates within Parkland County.
Community Policing RCMP primarily enforce the criminal code, offences like, assault, thefts, break and enter and public disturbances. The RCMP also enforce some provincial legislation like the Traffic Safety Act, the Gaming and Liquor Act and the Petty Trespass Act. Some of these authorities overlap, for example an impaired driver could commit both traffic and criminal code offences.
Peace Officers primarily enforce municipal bylaws like the Community Standards Bylaw (unsightly properties, excessive or continuous noise), the Fire Bylaw and the Animal Control Bylaw. Peace Officers also enforce some provincial legislation including the Traffic Safety Act, the Gaming and Liquor Act and the Petty Trespass Act.
Within Parkland County, RCMP Officers and Peace Officers work closely to ensure efficient service delivery. This includes conducting joint force operations to promote traffic safety or to deter, disrupt and displace crime. Peace Officers assist the RCMP with traffic control at collision sites, while RCMP will help Peace Officers with higher risk offenders. Both organizations share information and intelligence with each other, and both organizations support community groups and initiatives.
