More RCMP
Since 2022, we've hired five RCMP officers for a safer, more resilient Langley City.
Making neighbourhoods safer, together
We're investing in community safety by helping make neighbourhoods safer, together. Through resilient neighbourhood networks, we are forming a volunteer design and action team. This group will help build safer neighbourhoods by hosting community-led events, strengthening connections between neighbours, and improving access to emergency preparedness information and City services.
Thank you to everyone who applied to volunteer to support this initiative.
What’s next
- More volunteer opportunities coming soon. Sign up to receive notifications for future volunteer opportunities clicking on the "follow" button at the top of the page (underneath the title).
- The volunteer design and action team is currently meeting and more details will be shared soon.
- The resilient neighbourhood network (which helps build safer neighbourhoods) will have a launch event in June at Linwood Park. More details to come.
A resilient neighbourhood is one where people feel connected, informed, and supported, and where neighbours know how to respond together when challenges arise.
RNNs help neighbourhoods:
- Build stronger relationships with neighbours, local groups and businesses
- Learn and share practical skills related to safety, preparedness and local supports
- Stay informed about what's happening in the community
- Shape gatherings, learning opportunities, and neighbourhood priorities
Strong, connected neighbourhoods grow when residents are directly involved. By joining an RNN, you can:
- Share ideas to improve safety, connection, and preparedness
- Help shape the activities, tools, and supports for your area
- Take part in free, accessible training that builds community-building skills
Your lived experience matters. Your voice helps shape how RNNs grow across Langley City.
Participation is welcome from:
- Langley City residents
- Community groups and non-profits
- Local businesses and business associations
- Service providers and grassroots initiatives
- Faith, cultural, education, and neighbourhood-based organizations
No prior experience is needed – just an interest in strengthening community connections.
Community safety is our top priority.
We’re building a city where everyone feels safe, supported, and connected by investing in:
- emergency response (Fire, RCMP, Bylaws)
- safer public spaces
- social planning
- vibrant community events
- basic infrastructure
