The Dawson Creek RCMP Detachment polices an area of approximately 6,000 square miles that includes the City, Pouce Coupe, Rolla, Arras, Farmington and Kelly Lake. The members of the Dawson Creek Detachment are committed to making Dawson Creek a safe community. RCMP Members are also involved in the community through many programs such as:
DARE – Drug Abuse Resistance Education
This program emphasizes drug identification and the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol. The DARE trained officers teach children the skills to recognize and resist pressures that cause them to experiment with drugs, alcohol, gangs and violence. This program is in great demand in the elementary schools and there are currently two officers that teach this program.
Community Policing
The Community Policing officer organizes community groups to assist the Detachment in crime prevention. The following community groups have formed the South Peace District Crime Prevention Association:
Crime Stoppers
This local group consists of six residents that raise money to pay for information that leads to arrests and the resolution of crimes.
Block Parents
This group provides a safe refuge for children in distress. They have marked their homes with a sign in the window and parents are encouraged to teach their children to recognize these homes as a place to go when in danger. There are currently about 100 homes in the City with the Block Parent sign.
