Residents joined officers and staff from the Burnaby RCMP detachment at Lougheed Town Centre last week for the police department’s Spring Safety Forum.
The hour-and-a-half event included information on different units within the Burnaby RCMP and a question-and-answer period where residents were encouraged to ask questions and engage in a discussion about public safety in the city.
Top ranking officers, including second-in-command Supt. Stephan Drolet, were on hand to speak with residents, along with volunteers with the Burnaby RCMP crime prevention unit, which includes Block Watch and other community-focused initiatives.
The forum is one of many community events the department hosts throughout the year.
