Leduc bolsters community safety with new integrated unit

The Leduc RCMP and City of Leduc Enforcement Services, in collaboration with Family and Community Support Services (FCSS), are launching a new Integrated Community Safety Unit focused on increasing visibility, building relationships, and helping residents feel safe in public spaces.

Made up primarily of RCMP officers and Community Peace Officers, the unit will conduct regular foot and vehicle patrols to address behaviours that can make people feel uncomfortable or unsafe in public spaces.

FCSS Navigators will also support the team by helping connect individuals to appropriate services, resources, and community programs when needed.

In the Leduc RCMP’s 2026 Policing Priorities Survey, 73 per cent of respondents said that more foot and vehicle patrols, stronger community presence and increased enforcement would improve their confidence in local policing. The new Integrated Community Safety Unit responds directly to this feedback.

Residents can expect to see the Integrated Community Safety Unit active in parks, on trails, downtown, and in other high-traffic areas throughout Leduc.

The unit will also engage with local businesses to introduce and encourage participation in the City’s new Agent Status program.

While most properties in Leduc are safe, some property owners and managers have indicated they would like additional tools to help address trespassing and encampment concerns when they arise.

This optional program allows eligible businesses to authorize enforcement officers to act on their behalf during trespassing incidents—even if they can’t be reached right away.

The public is encouraged to report any concerns directly to the RCMP and Enforcement Services:

• Bylaw issues: call Leduc Enforcement Services at (780)-980-1537
• Non-emergency incidents: call 310-RCMP or 310-7267, or report through the RCMP’s online crime reporting system
• Emergency or crime in progress: call 9-1-1

The City of Leduc and Leduc RCMP prioritize a coordinated approach to community safety through education, enforcement, and emergency response, working together to support a safe and welcoming community for all.
