About us

As I transition from Interim Chief of Police to Chief of Police for the Town of Woodstock, I have had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the strength of this exceptional community, which is home to hardworking and compassionate citizens. I take great pride in my role in addressing the public safety needs of both residents and businesses.

My policing philosophy places a significant emphasis on collaborative problem-solving with our residents and community partners. The Police Force’s primary objectives are to preserve life, prevent crime, and enhance safety within the community, and the active participation of every resident is vital to that success. Woodstock has embraced this approach, with numerous individuals and businesses actively engaged in initiatives aimed at enhancing our town.

The strength of our Police Department is intrinsically tied to the dedication of its officers and civilian staff. Woodstock is fortunate to have some of the most outstanding public servants in the province of New Brunswick. Through the dedication and hard work of all involved, we will persist in our endeavors to ensure the safety of families, businesses, and visitors within the Town of Woodstock.

Thank you,

Mark Bennett
Chief of Police
