Municipal Law Enforcement Officers strengthen our community

Municipal Law Enforcement Officers play an important role in the community. They ensure that standards are upheld and rules followed, which can often be accomplished by educating the community about our various by-laws. An Officer’s goal is to maintain consistent standards for everyone and to improve safety in the neighbourhoods where we all live, work and play. Our Officers follow the Municipal Law Enforcement Policy to ensure that the process is transparent, consistent, fair, and unbiased.

Recently, there has been an increase in the amount of aggressive and potentially dangerous behaviour toward Clarington’s Municipal Law Enforcement Officers, including instances where Officers have been assaulted while performing their duties. These actions will not be tolerated and have resulted in serious legal consequences for the offenders.

Please show your appreciation for our Municipal Law Enforcement Officers while they serve the community and keep us safe.
