‘What does a Community Policing Office do?'
The CPO role is developed in consultation with each individual community. Their primary purpose is to improve the community by providing increased preventative and public reassurance programs while supporting core policing operations. They will work alongside existing RCMP officers, other policing services, and community organizations to enhance service delivery.’

The Big White Community Policing Office is located above the General Store in Whitefoot Lodge across from the Plaza chair. It is open from 1:00-4:00 PM during the ski season. A ski patrol of RCMP officers from Kelowna and the Rural detachment in Westbank is put together and one or two members are on the hill wearing bright yellow jackets. Their presence on the hill helps to maintain a safe and secure environment for skiers and boarders.

Volunteers are in the office to fill out reports of thefts that happen on the hill or in the village. These reports are filed with the RCMP Rural Detachment in Westbank and a file number is eventually available for the victim for insurance purposes. Ski engraving is also available at no charge and encouraged as one way to discourage theft.
