RCMP seeks community input from rural residents

By MEDICINE HAT NEWS on February 3, 2026.

The Brooks and Bassano RCMP detachments have launched an online community consultation survey, open until near the end of the month.

The Brooks survey aims to give residents of Brooks and rural residents in the detachment area the opportunity to provide input on setting policing priorities in the coming.

Similarly, the Bassano survey will help shape the future of safety in Bassano and the surrounding area and provides mountains an idea of where efforts and resources should be focused this year.

Each survey takes a couple minutes to fill out and answers are kept anonymous using the website surveymonkey.com.

A link to both surveys can be found by visiting the Brooks & Newell Safe Communities Facebook page. The online survey will close on Feb. 21.
