Independent study names Codiac Regional RCMP preferred policing service of choice for Moncton

“It remains my strong belief that the current policing model with its seamless, integrated delivery of policing services to the three communities is the best option.” Superintendent Wayne Gallant, the Officer in Charge of the Codiac Regional RCMP.

The men and women of the Codiac Regional RCMP have worked hard to provide the best possible policing service to the citizens of Dieppe, Moncton and Riverview. A City of Moncton Policing Services Study conducted by the consulting firm of Perivale and Taylor confirmed the current police services model provided by the Codiac Regional RCMP is the preferred policing option for the citizens of Moncton.

The conclusions of Perivale and Taylor are demonstrated in not only the results attained from the work conducted by the Codiac Regional RCMP but also the attitudes of residents of Dieppe, Moncton and Riverview.

• 80% of Dieppe, Moncton and Riverview residents feel strongly that they live in safe communities. (March 2009 - Bristol Omnifacts 4th Annual City Think Survey)
• Codiac RCMP has the best ability to solve crime in Canada in communities with 100,000+ population. (December 2009 - Statistics Canada Police Resources in Canada)
• Focus by Codiac RCMP on reducing property crime has resulted in 25% reduction over a three year period.

In addition to the ability to access RCMP services, not only in New Brunswick, but across Canada when needed, Codiac RCMP also has the following in-house support services;

• General Investigations/Major Crime Unit
• Forensic Identification Section
• Street Drug Section
• Street Crime Unit
• Criminal Intelligence Unit
• Police Dog Services
• Community Oriented Policing Section (COPS)
• Traffic Services Section
• Court and Central Record Section
• Auxiliary Program
• Codiac Volunteers
• Victim Services Volunteers
• Chaplain

These all serve in helping achieve the five year crime reduction goal of the Codiac RCMP, “To become the safest community in the safest province in Canada.”

On March 17, 2010 as part of the community consultation on the Policing Services Study, Codiac Regional RCMP Superintendent Wayne Gallant will address Moncton City Councillors and answer their questions.

The RCMP has provided urban policing services to Dieppe, Moncton and Riverview since 1998. The RCMP has been providing municipal policing services to communities in New Brunswick since 1932.
