What We Do
Enforcement Services provides expert and professional enforcement services in various fields within the City of Grande Prairie. Enforcement goals are met with integrity, impartiality, and professionalism. Peace Officers focus on traffic enforcement, general bylaw enforcement, including unsightly premises, business licenses, animal control, smoking regulations and various other tasks.
Work may be outdoors, on foot, on bicycles, or in a vehicle, exposed to all climate conditions, or indoors, in office surroundings, working various shifts and weekends.
