The new address will be on Westside Drive
The Grande Prairie Rural RCMP will operate out of a new location starting later this month.
Beginning Feb. 24, the detachment will be at:
Western Alberta District Office
10605 Westside Drive
Grande Prairie, Alta.
T8V 8E6
The new location is about five minutes away from the municipal detachment office on 99th Street.
This location will not handle rural policing inquiries after Feb. 24.
After Feb. 24, rural residents and stakeholders in communities like Sexsmith, Bad Heart, Clairmont, Webster, Braeburn, Buffalo Lake, Teepee Creek, Bezanson, Debolt, Dimsdale, Goodwin, Ridge Valley, Grovedale and Crooked Creek should direct concerns to the new office.
The RCMP is committed to providing the same level of service for rural residents.
“The Grande Prairie RCMP Rural Detachment is moving forward to better serve the needs of our community starting with a move to the Western Alberta RCMP District office. This move will not affect our day-day operations and calls for service will continue to be answered 24/7” Corporal James Johnston of the Grande Prairie RCMP Rural Detachment said in a statement.
