We LOVE getting the chance to visit our colonies and their schools! 😄 This photo is from our last visit to the Springview Colony- Sgt. Argue, Kendra, and Cst. Szeto had tons of fun with the kids! They were full of excitement, and had great questions! 👍

She loves working with officers from various law enforcement teams, and loves creating and running programs and initiatives for our wonderful community! ❤️ If you haven't checked out our other platforms, you can find them all here: linktr.ee/safecommunitie…

Kendra is a Registered Social Worker in the Brooks RCMP Community Policing Unit, and handles all things crime prevention, community safety, and officer engagement! All our social media is a small but important part of that!

Meet the face behind the page! 🤩 When you see our posts, or message us with a question or concern, this is who is behind our pages! 😄 Kendra has been running and creating all of our social media pages since she became our Safe Communities facilitator back in January 2020!

Please remember to think critically about what you read on social media, and that social media is not an appropriate way to report crimes and concerns.

🛑 NOTICE 🛑 The Brooks RCMP have been made aware of current rumours that there has been a "recent beheading" in the jurisdiction. No occurrence even resembling this has been reported to the Brooks RCMP, therefore we are inclined to say these claims are false.

Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday- we managed to raise money for the Cantara House and food donations for the local Food Bank! 👍

Another amazing game! 🤩 This year was another nail-biter at first, but the Red Team (Fire + EMS) pulled ahead and won the game this year- taking last year's trophy back from the Blue Team (RCMP + Peace Officers)! 😄

Come out and cheer on those that keep our community safe! 🤩 Admission is $5 or a non-perishable food bank donation. All monetary proceeds will go to the Cantara Safe House! 👍

May we present... the grad troop from the 2023 Brooks Youth Police Academy! 🤩 The family and friends of all our cadets, along with RCMP officers, dignitaries, and other officers all attended the grad ceremony to celebrate our incredible 2023 cadets! 😄

DAY 3 of the Brooks Youth Police Academy! 🤩 Today was the best day yet- cadets swapped roles today and got to be the officers! They learned about fingerprinting, arresting, traffic stops, RCMP Core Values, and some of our officers even ended up getting handcuffed! 😂

Thank you again to our local Boston Pizza Brooks for sponsoring lunch for the cadets for the week! 👍

DAY 2 of the Brooks Youth Police Academy! 😃 Today was another great day with our amazing troop! Cadets learned how to march, did physical training, and got to try out the breathalyzer and ‘drunk gogges’! They learned about impaired driving, mental health, and the Criminal Code!

DAY 1 of the 2023 Brooks Youth Police Academy! 🤩 Today was so much fun- our cadets did drill, blood spatter analysis, firearms, and learned about the different enforcement careers! We even had a visit from RCMP Supt. Nichols and S/Sgt. Charles to address the cadets! 👍

#throwback to the Summer Kick Off Party at Brooks Junior High School! 🤩 The youth challenged our local RCMP Officers to a relay race, and they took it very seriously as you can see! 😂

If you SEE something, SAY something! 👍 If you see or hear anything suspicious, 'it’s better to be safe than sorry'. The members of our community are the eyes and ears of our community, so it is up to all of us to keep Brooks and Newell and safe place to live, work, and play! 😄

"You are given one life and one body, you should love who you are and not change to be accepted by others. It is the heart that shines through beauty." 🙌 To learn more about Viktoriya and why she is a candidate, check out missuniversecanada.ca/2023-national-… 👍

She moved with her family when she was four years old and has been in Canada for 14 years. Viktoriya wants to be Miss Universe Canada to show young people that they are worth so much more than the opinions of society.

#throwback to when some of our local officers got to meet a Miss Universe Canada contestant raised right here in Brooks! 😄 Viktoriya Kornishyna was born in the city of Poltava, Ukraine, and was raised right here in Brooks, Alberta! 👍
