Municipal Bylaws

Bylaw education and enforcement is one of the main responsibilities of the Peace River Patrol Services. Some of the commonly investigated bylaws include animal control, nuisance complaints, parking issues, and noise complaints.

Ticket Payment

Bylaw Violation Tickets may be paid at the Town Office located at 9911 100 St. in Peace River. Unpaid Bylaw Violation Tickets will be converted into Provincial Tickets which are payable at any courthouse in Alberta.

Investigation Process

In order to properly investigate a bylaw complaint, an investigating officer may need some of the following information.

  • Your name, number and address
  • Date, time and duration of the issue,
  • A description of the issue,
  • Location of the issue, and
  • Any other specific information you can provide such as vehicle description, license plate, description of animal, noise, etc.

The collection of any personal information related to an investigation is governed by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy (FOIP) Act. At times the investigating officer will need you to produce a signed statement and you may need to attend court. If this is the case the Officer will inform you of that and explain the process to you.  If you are required to be a witness in a court proceeding your legal name may be released to the defendant.
