New GPPS fleet hits the road around Grande Prairie

Members of the Grande Prairie Police Service have started rolling around town in their new rides, and officials say you can get used to seeing more of them in the coming months.

The first four fully marked cruisers are now out on active patrol and will be driven exclusively during active patrol only.

Chief Dwayne Lakusta this is a critical step forward in their efforts to ensure a visible and responsive police service, with the goal of having the entire fleet in service by the end of 2025.

“The community can expect to see more of our black and white cruisers proudly patrolling our streets regularly,” he adds.

With the latest recruitment class now into active duty, 13 GPPS members are stationed at the Grande Prairie RCMP detachment, with a dozen officers dedicated to general patrol duties. Lakusta says the increased visibility and patrol capacity of GPPS officers will further strengthen the community’s safety and security.
