Bylaw Officers work primarily on a reactive, complaint-driven basis and are committed to the delivery of professional bylaw enforcement in a timely and effective manner in accordance with Council direction.

Our primary goals are:

• Public safety.
• Maintaining community standards which contribute to improving the quality of life in Trail.
• Managing behavioral and nuisance issues so as to promote a harmonious living environment.
