In 2005 the Winnipeg Public Works Department put forward a recommendation
that the Park Police be converted to a Park Patrol and in 2008 Council
approved the conversion of the Park Police to a Park Patrol/ Park Watch
with a focus on providing park security, ambassadorship, and by-law enforcement.
More serious and higher risk law enforcement would be the sole responsibility
of the Winnipeg Police. The transformation from “Police” to Park Patrol
was complete by 2010. Car decals and uniforms were changed, removing the
word “police”. |
