Staff Sgt. Eric Black fields questions from the public during an RCMP town hall meeting at the Servus Sports Centre. JEANNETTE BENOIT-LEIPERT STAFF WRITER
.................................. Members of the Lloydminster RCMP recently invited the public to join them at the Servus Sports Centre for a town hall meeting. A wide range of topics were discussed and RCMP members invited questions from those in attendance. “Today is very interactive, so if you have a question please ask it. We do these town halls usually a couple times a year; more if
$185,000
needed,” said Lloydminster RCMP detachment commander Brian Nicholl. “At the beginning of the year we do it to try and solicit information, as to what the problems are in the community, and this one is a bit of an update on what we’ve done with the feedback.” At the outset of the meeting, Sgt. Brad Mouland reviewed the APP (Annual Performance Plan) put in place for Lloydminster. “Every detachment across the RCMP, from
Victoria to St. John’s, Newfoundland does the exact same annual performance plan. It’ll have different goals for the year,” Mouland explained. “We want to create focused goals with clear actions. We outline our daily tasks and actions with community priorities, demonstrating the achievement or measurable results.” He said their goals and priorities are determined by many different groups of people, all local.
