The Cranbrook RCMP has received $327,150 from the provincial community safety and targeted enforcement grant program.
Staff Sergeant Barry Graham said the money will go towards community safety initiatives.
“The funding aims to reduce street crime and improve community safety and well being,” he said.
“The funding will be used to continue patrols with City of Cranbrook bylaw staff.”
The money will also be used for training bylaw staff, community engagement coordinator and other members.
The province announced the $5-million grant program in May, distributing funds to communities across B.C.
