Enforcement Services

The MD currently has an agreement with the RCMP to provide a Community Policing Officer, who works closely with MD Administration on community policing. For Community Bylaw, please contact Laura McKinnon, Development Officer at 403-627-3130, for any issues or concerns.

The MD of Pincher Creek has an ANIMAL CONTROL BYLAW (Bylaw No. 1198-10 and amendments) as well as BYLAW 1272-17 (Chickens) to control domestic animals and activities in relation to them. Please be aware that different land use districts have various provisions regarding the types and numbers of specific animals you can have on your parcel. All dogs residing in MD Hamlets are required to be licensed. Licenses are available at the MD Administration Office an also at the Pincher Creek Humane Society.

The NOISE BYLAW (BYLAW No. 1256-14) is to ensure the enjoyment and comfort of all persons in the MD, including the hamlets. Please view the bylaw to ensure that you are following the general provisions.

Questions or concerns regarding the process of filing a complaint, or on bylaw control in the MD, can be directed to the MD Administration Office at 403 627 3130, or email info@mdpinchercreek.ab.ca

The RCMP supports community engagement by providing the public with the tools, resources and information they need to uphold public safety – for themselves and for their communities. To this end, the RCMP has provided a Crime Map for the MD.

The online map enables the RCMP to share current criminal incidents.
The database can be accessed by municipalities to display current crime occurrences (the last 14 days).
The RCMP chose the crimes that residents have the greatest potential for deterrence by using crime prevention strategies, mainly property crimes.
