6 June 2017 High Level RCMP Crime Reduction Unit Highlights

1. In the Month of June est.GREENLAND and Cst KELLEY were able to maintain the 2 person Crime Reduction Unit (CRU), for the majority of the month working an opposite shift schedule to accommodate more active coverage in the monitoring of identified habitual offenders on release. 2. Cst KELLEY was away from High Level from June 201h to June 241h as he attended the Western Canada Organized Crime Conference. 3. High Level Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) conducted 70 release condition compliance checks in the month of June. These condition checks were conducted on individuals labelled as "Habitual Offenders" by the Crime Reduction Unit (CRU). 4. On June 24 High Level RCMP conducted a CDSA search warrant resulting in a seizure of Cocaine, Canadian Currency and multiple Cellular Phones with 3 adult males and 1 adult female charged. 5. Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) during General Duty response conducted searches on multiple adult males resulting in three no case seizure of Cannabis Marihuana. 6. Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) observed drug transactions through covert surveillance and charged 1 adult male with trafficking in Cocaine and possession of Marihuana, this male was identified as high priority Habitual Offender and released with strict curfew conditions. 7. A total of 5 subjects were identified in the month of June by the Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) and have been added to the Habitual Offender Management program for continued observation and compliance checks. 8. Of note on June 27 , one adult male subject to the Habitual Offender Management program was remanded to custody for firearms offences and numerous breaches of his compliance conditions. 9. Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) with High Level RCMP General Duty members entered into 15 separate CD$A investigations resulting in a total of 12 CDSA charges being laid, 4 additional Criminal Code Charges for Proceeds of Crime and numerous Criminal Code Charges for Failing to Comply with release conditions. 10. Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) has developed and implemented a program where General Duty Members are now tasked to assist in some aspects of the Habitual Offender Management Program, this should result in the increase of condition compliance checks on offenders identified. 11 . Due to operational requirements, Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) continued to respond to numerous General Duty calls for service as either the primary investigator or as an assisting officer in the High Level area. 12. CRU continues to actively collect and document Criminal Intelligence in an effort to suppress the local trade of illegal drugs. 13.
