Community Peace Officers

Supporting the needs of the community

Cochrane Community Peace Officers (CPOs) listen, educate, inform and empower residents to understand community bylaws, concerns and risks, reducing violations and creating a safer space for all. By fostering and maintaining strong relationships, Cochrane Municipal Enforcement aims to create community that cares.

MUNICIPAL ENFORCEMENT FLEET

“We firmly believe that knowledge is power. Our primary goal is to inform and educate Cochrane and area residents to make smart, thoughtful and educated decisions.  We understand that enforcement is a crucial element in community safety, it alone is not the key priority to achieve compliance. By focusing on education, relationship building, conflict resolution and mediation services, we aim to promote sense of community where residents are empowered to resolve conflicts with composure and kindness wherever possible.”


- Frank Borsos, Manager of Municipal Enforcement, Town of Cochrane.
