Policing Priorities
In 2018, the Leduc RCMP with its partners, the City of Leduc and Leduc County, held a community survey asking citizens to identify community policing priorities and here is what they heard:
- Crime reduction (property, drug, offender management)
- Major property education
- Bait device
- Hot spots - Illegal substance abuse (alcohol and drug related)
- Community and school presentations
- Covert drug operations
- MITU (Municipal Integrated Traffic Unit) and Watch checkstops - Employee wellness
- Ensure RCMP members take wellness and annual leave days
- Employee recognition
- Employee satisfaction survey
Since then, the focus has been on:
- Increasing impaired driving check stops
- Increasing their presence in location schools and at community events
- Implementing the DARE program (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) in local schools
- Increasing their participation with the Leduc Community Drug Action Committee
- Implementing a number of crime prevention initiatives, such as
- Bait Car
- Anti-auto theft program with the Leduc Blackgold Citizens on Patrol (Leduc Nighthawks)
- Anti-theft license plate information campaign
- Prolific Offender Program, which is when officers proactively check on repeat offenders to ensure they are complying with court-ordered conditions
- Warrant Round-up, which is when officers actively seek local individuals on warrants for arrest
- Hot spot policing checks
A community survey was recently conducted in the region and more information will be posted in the near future.
