Twin Rivers Community Safety Officer
The Twin Rivers Community Safety Officer (CSO) Program provides municipalities the option to enhance existing community safety services through the employment of CSOs. CSOs deliver high priority/low risk to harm community safety services and provide communities with an additional uniformed presence.
It is the intention of the Town to utilize the Twin Rivers CSO Program to enforce municipal bylaws and provincial legislations and act as the primary Bylaw Enforcement Officer, and enforce all Town of Hepburn Municipal Bylaws.
