CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Fortis Cubicle Box Project

We teamed up with FortisAlberta to present local landmarks on Stony Plain switching cubicles as part of FortisAlberta’s province wide campaign to deter graffiti. Stony Plain is only the second Municipality to feature local content, the remaining cubicles around the province and Town feature stock imagery.

Eleven cubicles were wrapped with images of Rotary Park, Stony Plain & District Pioneer Museum, Multicultural Heritage Centre, Town Hall (20 Years of Friendship mural), and a street art image from the Skate Park. The Communications department ran a contest asking residents to find the boxes and then visit the location featured in the photograph. Below is an image of the winner.

MUNICIPAL PEACE OFFICERS

Bylaw Enforcement The months of October through to the end of December yielded 389 reports generated by either proactive patrols or resident based complaints. The top three complaints stemmed from parking issues, dogs and cats at large and recreational vehicle or trailer complaints in relation to the Nuisance Bylaw. In this quarter parking matters generated 96 total files. 34 dogs and 25 cats at large accounted for a total of 59 files. Recreational vehicle or trailer complaints under the Nuisance Bylaw accounted for 52 files.

Agency Collaboration: This quarter our officers collaborated with the RCMP in numerous ways. This included assisting RCMP members with traffic control at collisions, document service, found property, and recovering stolen property encountered in the normal course of a Peace Officer’s duty. An Officer participated in a Joint Force Enforcement Operation with other law enforcement agencies in the Tri-Region as the holiday season approached. Enforcements Services collaborated with Planning and Development to address ongoing files which effected both departments, as well as with providing document service. This daily collaboration with other agencies and departments within the Town helps to provide our residents with strong customer service and improve visibility of the law enforcement agencies in the region.

of 33

Provincial Statutes Enforcement Traffic related matters accounted for 146 files this quarter generated though proactive patrols and complaints received. In addition, Officers reported 279 vehicle stops. These stops resulted in the issuance of 220 violation tickets and 59 warnings. The most commonly issued provincial violations were issued for operating a motor vehicle while holding or viewing a cell phone or other hand held device, operating a motor vehicle with equipment not prescribed by regulations, seatbelt violations and speeding violations . In addition to radar enforcement conducted during routine roaming patrols throughout the shift, Enforcement Services also conducted 1 laser speed enforcement operations. The fine amount reported for the quarter is $43 943.00; however, this number is not complete based on mandatory court appearances for excessive speeds, uninsured vehicles and some bylaw matters for which amounts will be determined at court.

of 33

Community Service and Education With winter festivals and the holiday season upon us our Community Peace Officers were out in the community! Community Peace Officers attended Mini Monster Bash, Christmas Light Up, a Gun Show and Family Fest. Officers also ensured they were involved with area schools this quarter. Stony Plain Peace Officers assisted John Paul II School with traffic control during their Terry Fox Run. Our Officers also attended Memorial Composite School to provide students with assistance during their annual Charity event. Officers attended Memorial Composite School again during the students lunch hour to spend time with them, creating a presence and an opportunity for dialog. An Officer provided traffic control assistance with a large scale funeral procession. Community Peace Officers conducted several foot patrols throughout the Town trail systems, Rotary Park, Main Street and Westerra Lake. Stony Plain attended several Red Ribbon/Candy Cane Traffic initiatives throughout the Tri-region in partnership with the Office of Traffic Safety, MADD volunteers, Parkland County Peace Officers, Spruce Grove Peace Officers, Stony Plain Fire Services, Alberta Health Services and the RCMP. During this event drivers were provided candy canes, MADD ribbons and information to make smart choices on the road during the busy holiday season. Stony Plain Enforcement further supported the efforts of MADD this quarter with an Officer attending the annual MADD Candlelight Vigil to offer our support to victims impacted by impaired driving. In addition to all of their community efforts, Officers continued with the Positive Ticket Program this quarter, rewarding residents caught in the act of making good choices in the community.

Ongoing Officer training and development is important in the Peace Officer field. During this quarter Officers were provided the opportunity to attend several training sessions. Officers Wenmann and Anderson attended a course offered to the Enforcement Services team by the RCMP which was designed to prepare law enforcement personnel for encounters with individuals suffering from Dementia. Officers Rutland, Montgomery, Anderson and Enforcement Clerk Mason attended a session regarding fostering a positive work environment. Officer Anderson completed ICS 200 training as well as attended the Alberta Emergency Management Association 2015 Summit.
