Evolution of Public Safety in Port Moody:
On July 6, 2020 the Port Moody Police Board unanimously passed a resolution to take the first steps towards engaging with the community regarding the evolution of public safety in Port Moody.
A Task Force on Public Safety Evolution was struck, consisting of all our Police Board members and their work will expand as efforts get underway.
The Police Board has directed public outreach in order to expand and diversify voices at the table in relation to the conversation on the evolution of public safety.
The PMPD Police Board is specifically interested in several policing issues, including body-worn cameras, street checks, police involvement in mental health calls, the level of militarization of uniforms, vehicles, and equipment, as well as police contact in our local schools. Feedback from the community along with other information will serve as a critical foundation for the months ahead, as these, and many other, issues are discussed and considered.
As a first step in the conversation, the citizens of Port Moody are invited to share their thoughts on these important issues by completing a short survey.
To help us begin this extremely important process please follow the link below to the survey and share your thoughts.
The survey period has ended. Thank you for participating!
Both the Port Moody Police Board and Police Department take this opportunity to thank those who participate in this essential process.
