Community Response Unit

In 2021, the Woodstock Police Service created the Community Response Unit (CRU). CRU consists of one sergeant and two constables. The CRU Sergeant supervises the CRU constables, Traffic Officer, Canine Unit, CORE Beat Team and Community Service Officer.

The CRU takes a proactive approach to policing. They focus on policing initiatives and targeted enforcement based on community concerns, crime trends and in identified hot spots within the city.
