Protective Services

Information about the various enforcement agencies and departments that serve and protect Beaumont.

Call Municipal Enforcement 24/7...

A 24-hour dedicated dispatch service provides residents with the opportunity to speak with a professional dispatcher that is trained in obtaining all necessary information, determining whether or not the call should be routed to the RCMP, and assigning the file to the next available officer.

Call Municipal Enforcement if you…

  • have a concern / complaint regarding a general bylaw matter (parking, unsightly property, noise, sidewalk snow removal)
  • have an animal control concern that is non-aggressive in nature (animal at large, contained animal, nuisance barking)

Please provide full contact information and occurrence details to assist officers in investigating the complaint. Any call of a non-urgent matter will be addressed on the next available business day/shift.

Automated Traffic Enforcement (Photo Radar)

The City of Beaumont’s Automated Traffic Enforcement (ATE) program is focused on monitoring and enforcing traffic in zones that have the potential of the highest risk to residents. Speeding vehicles can be found in any area of the community, and at any time of the day. The City’s ATE program places the highest priority in those areas that are at the highest risk for personal injuries, such as schools and playgrounds.

School Resource Officer

Beaumont currently has one School Resource Officer focused on assisting school administration in ensuring safe school environments, successful students and productive citizens.

Community Standards Bylaw

The City of Beaumont is modernizing and streamlining our Community Standards Bylaw so that residents can continue to enjoy a high quality of life in Beaumont. This bylaw provides clear and transparent rules for residents and businesses and will make enforcement more effective and efficient.

In the event of emergency, call 9-1-1

Community Peace Officers are appointed by Beaumont City Council to enforce municipal bylaws; and by the Alberta Solicitor General to enforce provincial statues (Animal Protection Act, Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act, Traffic Safety Act and Regulations).

In addition to regular duties, Community Peace Officers conduct routine proactive patrols throughout the community by vehicle, bike and foot patrol.

The following roadways have been identified as traffic enforcement priorities:

  • The 50 Street corridor, which is not only the main access point for the majority of businesses in Beaumont, but also used by a significant portion of out-of-town travellers.
  • Patrols of 50 Street and 50 Avenue during the peak times of congestion during the morning and evening traffic rush of commuters.
  • All playground zones (includes all school areas and parks) in Beaumont are in effect daily from 7 am through 9 pm inclusive.
  • Patrols of school areas before and after school times when children are arriving to and leaving from schools.
  • Weekend and evening patrols of residential and commercial areas including parking lots when traffic is higher.
  • Observation of all intersections during patrols as almost half of all collisions occur within these areas.

Community Peace Officers conduct proactive patrols and dedicated traffic operations in strategic areas to create a positive effect on driver awareness while decreasing speeds and improving overall traffic collision avoidance.

Community Standards bylaw

The City of Beaumont has developed a Community Standards Bylaw to address a range of concerns raised by residents. The bylaw provides transparent, enforceable rules that maintain and enhance our city’s livability by encouraging a safe, clean, welcoming and inclusive community.

This bylaw replaces other previous bylaws, such as the Cannabis Consumption Bylaw, Nuisance and Unsightly Premises Bylaw, Noise Abatement Bylaw and the Snow Removal Bylaw. Consolidating these bylaws into one makes the standards easier for residents to find and understand and for City staff to enforce.

Help keep our community clean

The Community Standards Bylaw has rules that everyone doing construction (commercial or residential, and large or small projects, from new housing developments to building a deck) must follow.

  • Construction sites must have waste containers.
  • Waste must be placed in the container and be properly secured so that it doesn’t blow away.
  • Don’t store or accumulate loose material on a construction site unless it’s stacked or stored in an orderly way.

Keep Beaumont beautiful

Follow the Community Standards Bylaw by minimizing weeds on your property and properly maintaining adjacent boulevards. Mow regularly, remove fallen leaves and notify the City if any trees need maintenance.
