2020-2021 West Shore RCMP Annual Performance Plan
Mayor and Council;
Under normal circumstances, the West Shore RCMP would have requested in-person and focussed discussions when developing our Annual Performance Plan (APP). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in an effort to support Provincial safety guidelines we were unable to meet as desired. However, input from the communities we serve is vital in determining our focus and goals for the year. The below APP was created based on conversations, feedback and information received through previous discussions with Mayors, Chiefs and Council and ongoing communication with the residents of the West Shore.
The following is the West Shore Detachment's commitment to our communities. Should you wish to discuss the APP, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
Sincerely,
Insp. Todd Preston Officer in Charge West Shore Detachment
