District 6
Community Stations
Community stations strengthen the relationship between the Calgary Police Service and communities. There are five community stations in District 6, including the Heritage office. Everyone is welcome to use them as a resource to report non-emergency problems, receive information and learn about crime prevention.
Trained, committed volunteers are the foundation of successful community stations. Volunteers can help resolve specific community issues quickly and effectively. For information about volunteering at a community station, please contact Constable Bruce Haddow at (403) 296-2580, or contact the station you are interested in directly.

Community policing focuses on the unique characteristics of a specific community area. At the BraeCentre Community Station,
the officers work closely with members of the community to identify the area's problems and their underlying causes.
The officer works with a large group of citizen volunteers who have been selected and trained by the Calgary Police Service to deal with a variety of situations. At BraeCentre, the volunteers primarily assist citizens in the communities of Oakridge, Palliser, Bayview, Pump Hill, Braeside, Cedarbrae,
Woodbine, Woodlands and Canyon Meadows.
The constable and volunteers can help the public report vehicle accidents, damage to and theft of vehicles, lost or found property, and other non-emergency cases. They advise on matters of safety and security. They also refer inquiries to other sections of the Calgary Police Service and to other agencies as required.
