SAFER COMMUNITIES & NEIGHBORHOODS

The SCAN program (a unit of the Alberta Sheriffs) makes communities safer by using civil legislation to target residential and commercial problem properties in rural and urban Alberta where specified illegal activity is occuring regularly (ie. drug trafficking, prostitution and gang-related crime).  More details at www.scan.alberta.ca 1-866-960-SCAN (7226) or read the info brochure here.

 

RURAL CRIME MAP

Overview

The County of Vermilion River Crime Map is a tool provided by the Alberta RCMP.  The Alberta RCMP supports community engagement by providing the public with the tools, resources and information they need to uphold public safety - for themselves and for their communities.

The RCMP hopes that the map will encourage citizens to report suspicious activity to the police which will strengthen their intelligence gathering capability and help them make arrests.

 

About the Map
  • The online map enables the Alberta RCMP to share current criminal incidents with members of the communities we serve across Alberta.
  • The database can be accessed by municipalities to display current crime occurrences (the last 14 days).
  • The RCMP chose the crimes that residents have the greatest potential for deterrence by using crime prevention strategies, mainly property crimes.
