Madu’s town hall brings debate on provincial police to forefront
REDCLIFF, AB – A few dozen Redcliff and Cypress County residents packed into the Redcliff Senior Citizen Centre as part of a town hall tour by provincial Justice Minister Kaycee Madu.
The topic at hand was the province’s proposed transition plan away from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police towards a provincial police body.
Madu said the comments he heard were valid regarding rural crime in the area and the issues with the justice system which allow for repeat offenders.
However, many voiced concerns regarding the potential elimination of RCMP policing in the province including Redcliff councillor Shawna Gale.
