Crime Prevention Week

Strathmore RCMP

 

Strathmore RCMP would like to remind everyone that May 12-18 is Crime Prevention Week in Alberta.

Crime Prevention Week is a tool that helps create awareness about issues in our local community, and helps residents become aware of steps they can take to prevent crime. 

As residents of Strathmore, Wheatland County and Rocky View County, we can all work together to help prevent crimes in our own backyard by working closely with our neighbours, community leaders, and the RCMP. This type of teamwork makes it easier to identify and solve issues that affect our entire community. 

Within the communities of Strathmore and Langdon, residents can take part in the local Citizens on Patrol (C.O.P.), which has been a valuable tool in fighting crime in those areas. Residents of Strathmore also have the opportunity to become a part of the Strathmore Neighbourhood Watch, a group of citizens who work in conjunction with the RCMP to help keep our neighbourhoods safe. 

As always, residents are the first line of defence against crime. Residents are encouraged to ensure that doors and windows of their homes and vehicles are always locked and secured. Many reported thefts are a crime of opportunity, and by taking these quick and simple steps, a crime can be prevented before it occurs.

If you who would like more information regarding Citizens on Patrol, Neighbourhood Watch or any other ways to help prevent crime you are encouraged to contact the Strathmore RCMP at (403) 934-3968. If you have any information regarding crime in your local community, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or Strathmore RCMP.
