MOUNTIE MOMENTS
Foothills County Policing 
RCMP Turner Valley Detachment

Last week the Foothills County RCMP members have been actively patrolling the highways within the County. As the weather gets nicer, we are seeing an increase of activity on the roadways with both motorbikes and cyclists. I want to remind everyone to follow the rules of the road; in particular, riding single file on the roadways for cyclists and for everyone to follow the posted speed limits.

There is also an increase in wildlife activity near our roads, and the reports of animal collisions have increased this past week. Please slow down during the sunrise and sunset periods as this is when most wildlife are moving.

I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone within the Foothills County who took an opportunity to complete the online survey offered on the local community and Foothills County Webpage. This year we had 203 responses on the questionnaire, which is a significant increase from last year.
This information is extremely helpful as we move into a new fiscal year of policing for the County. I am currently reviewing your responses, and based on your information as well as that of local governing bodies I will be preparing the Foothills County Annual Performance Plan (APP). Once this report is completed, I will update everyone with the policing objectives for this year.

Cheers,
