  • Outcomes of Redwater RCMP Community Engagement 2021
    Outcomes of Redwater RCMP Community Engagement 2021 As per the 2021 Winter Redwater Community Engagement initiative which was open to all residents from in the following geographic areas: Abee, Amelia, Coronado, Egremont, Half Moon Lake, Lost Point Lake, Newbrook, Opal, Radway, Redwater, Thorhild County, and Sturgeon County (North and East of Gibbons). This initiative was open to submissions between the dates of Monday, February 1st, 2021 to Sunday February 14, 2021. It was developed to provide a forum where residents could bring forth any of their policing concerns to the Detachment Commander and have their concerns published along with the corresponding responses and/or action plans to address the issues, if applicable. Following the deadline for submissions, I received some responses from community members. I’ve summarized them below. Concern #1: Property thefts are getting out of hand, can a fingerprint database be established so police know who they are dealing with? Answer #1: Although it may feel like property crime is getting out of hand, the reality is that property related crime is decreasing. The Redwater Detachment year end 2020 statistics show: • Property Crime have decreased by 32%. • Break and Enters have decreased by 33%. • Theft Under $5000 have decreased by 47%. • Overall Criminal Code offences have decreased by 27%. When an RCMP member attends a scene of a crime they put their investigative skills and abilities to work. Members are trained to survey the scene and identify possible evidence and avenues of investigation. Evidence can consist of anything ranging from fingerprints, tire treads, and D.N.A. among an endless list of others.
