Nestled on the outskirts of town, with the stunning Rocky Mountains as its backdrop, the Cochrane Protective Services Building stands as a striking and welcoming landmark along Bow Valley Trail. The building embodies a sense of safety and community, seamlessly integrating with the town’s western heritage architectural elements.

A unique feature of this facility is the integration of both the RCMP and Municipal Enforcement services under one roof. Through extensive collaboration and thoughtful design, the building accommodates the distinct functions of these two entities, providing each with separate reception areas and secure spaces while promoting efficient shared use. The design thoughtfully incorporates a modern interpretation of Cochrane’s western heritage controls, blending contemporary aesthetics with the town’s rich history.
