The Alberta RCMP has launched a mobile app that is available for iOS and Android devices. The app has been developed to simplify online user experiences on mobile devices to ensure that Albertans can access information quickly and conveniently. 

The app is free to download through Apple or Google Play.

According to the Alberta RCMP, “Developing the app allows the Alberta RCMP to provide the public with online access to news, crime reporting, detachment locations, crime mapping and statistics, and a map for initiatives like Project Lock Up. The app also provides access to partner law enforcement services, mental health supports, Crime Stoppers and links to Alberta RCMP social media accounts.”

Alberta RCMP has introduced a newly developed Crime Prevention Calendar. This calendar will be used across Alberta for education and public outreach.

The calendar provides monthly themes that will inform their messaging, and partner messaging, throughout the year. Each month's theme was chosen based on a combination of statistics, seasonality and public perception of issues.

The crime prevention theme for July is
Theft from Yards 

The RCMP encourages safe keeping and inventory of items left outside in the summer.

Don’t be a target of property crime!

Every summer police see an increase in thefts in seasonal recreational areas.

Property left in driveways, carports, backyards, or out at your summer properties are prime targets for thieves. Items such as boat motors, boats and trailers, personal water craft (Jet Ski’s), dirt bikes, motorbikes, scooters, and ATV’s should be stored and secured properly.

Many summer seasonal recreation items are portable, and valuable and are popular with thieves.

• Do not store items on trailers.
• Clean out your garage so you can use it to store your valuable items inside.
• Purchase a trailer lock that cannot be cut by bolt cutters.
• If you are away from your seasonal property for an extended period of time ensure it is well locked, windows are secured, and valuable items are removed.
• Check your property periodically or make arrangements for someone to check it for you.

Remember! If you see something, say something!

RCMP encourage the public to report any criminal or suspicious activity to police. Reports tell the RCMP where to look, who to look for, and where to patrol in the future. If you see a crime in progress, dial 911. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), online at www.P3Tips.com or by using the "P3 Tips" app available through the Apple App or Google Play Store.

Public safety is everyone's responsibility—and it's easy. The best way to do your part for public safety is to get connected to your neighbourhood, pay attention to what is going on around you and report any criminal or suspicious activity to the police. 

The Morinville RCMP can be reached at 780-939-4520 or in the event of an emergency, call 9-1-1.

The Alberta RCMP are asking residents and businesses to register their video surveillance cameras with them to help reduce time in investigations.

The Community Assisted Policing Through the Use of Recorded Evidence, or "CAPTURE", is a voluntary registry program the RCMP has expanded across the province where private residents and business owners can sign up and let police know they have a camera on their property.

The purpose of the program is simple — if there is a crime, the RCMP can check the list and see who in the area may have cameras on their property that might have recorded anything that could help in their investigation.

To sign up, residents and or businesses can go to the website www.ruralalbertacapture.ca and provide their contact information as well as how many cameras they have on their property and which way they face.

Citizens of Patrol (COP) are active in Legal. COP’s goal is to be the look-out for any suspicious or criminal activity in and around the community, to record the activity, and where appropriate, to report such activities to the RCMP. Simply put, COP members act as additional “eyes and ears” for the community and the police which assists in reducing crime.

Help keep the Town of Legal safe by acting as a Citizen on Patrol.
