The Portage RCMP have begun efforts to better understand the policing needs of the community. 

They met with the Community Consultative Group last night for the first time in the committee's second full season. 

 

Chairman Larry Pettinger explains his group helps determine what Portage's policing needs are, providing input from all aspects of the community.  He says the consultations help the RCMP better place their manpower in the city. 

 

Pettinger feels last night's meet was successful, with several concerns and pieces of feedback laid out.
