CRD Protective Services continues to maintain safety, good order and public health through emergency management and animal control and by enforcing bylaws using education, mediation, fines and injunctions.
Collaborating with other agencies and partners ensures a coordinated and effective response to regional emergencies and bylaw enforcement, and furthers involvement in the Public Alert Notification System and the Regional Emergency Management Partnership. As the local government for three electoral areas, the CRD supports volunteer fire departments and local-level emergency services.
