The mayor of Carberry says a community safety officer will not be added to the community by the end of year, as previously hoped.

The plan to hire a community safety officer has been halted by some recent changes, including the loss of the town manager, Mayor Ray Muirhead told the Sun. The manager left for another job in Dauphin, and the town has had to prioritize and take a step back as it adjusts.

“We didn’t have the man or woman power to do all the stuff we need to do,” Muirhead said. “We, as a council, just said something has to be put on hold. And CSO, unfortunately, was it.”

The plan will pick up sometime nearer to 2027, Muirhead estimated. Other projects are expected to be completed by that time, freeing up staff to go through the long process of recruiting CSOs, he said.
