Increased police presence in downtown Smithers for the summer


Smithers RCMP has announced a cool initiative known as “A Downtown for All”, which will see more local RCMP traveling the downtown core both on foot, as well as, on bicycles throughout the summer months.

The program aims towards providing a better sense of safety within the community.

Police will be looking to reduce motor vehicle offenses, liquor offenses, and socially disruptive behaviors within Smithers.

Local police officer Cst. Cam Thompson, is a certified police mountain bike trainer and has trained two additional members of the Smithers RCMP to support the initiative.
