The town said on its website the meeting will be held in council chambers at 30 Honour House Court. It will also be live-streamed on the town’s website.
“During this session, the Codiac RCMP will respond to concerns and provide more information on how the police, the municipality, and residents can proactively work together to address public safety in the community,” the notice said. “Following the presentation, there will be an open mic session for questions and light refreshments will be served.”
Last month, Riverview Mayor Andrew J. LeBlanc and town manager Colin Smith told council that they have met with officials of the RCMP and were working toward a public meeting with the RCMP, to answer concerns and promote discussion about break-ins, thefts of vehicles, thefts from vehicles, vandalism and noisy vehicles.

Riverview has neighbourhood watch groups on social media. One of these groups has over 2,000 members and encourages residents to post photos and information about suspicious activity, including home security footage people breaking into cars and abandoned bicycles that may have been stolen.
Riverview has a population of more than 20,000 and pays a portion of the Codiac Regional RCMP budget as part of the cost-sharing formula with Moncton and Dieppe. Riverview’s next regular council meeting will be Oct. 15.
