Princeton RCMP will hold a meeting in Hedley this month, to address community issues.
“It will be a public forum to address safety and policing concerns,” said Sergeant Robert Hughes.
The forum will be held Thursday December 19, at 6 p.m., at the Community Centre.
Hughes said he looks forward to the opportunity to meet with residents of the small village, and answer any questions.
In October a Hedley man was arrested after shots were fired from the street at an alleged drug house, in the small village of 240 people.
