Preventing Crime,
Preserving Community.
At the Southeast Alberta Rural Crime Watch Association, we offer a range of services designed to keep our rural communities safe and secure. Help to build a safer, stronger, and more vigilant rural community in Southeast Alberta.
Fanout Alerts
Stay informed and vigilant with our Fanout Alert system. We work closely with local law enforcement to quickly distribute important crime-related information to our members. Whether it’s suspicious activity or urgent crime alerts, you’ll receive timely notifications to help protect your property and community.
Crime Watch App
Stay connected and informed with the Crime Watch App. This user-friendly tool allows you to report suspicious activities and access valuable crime prevention resources directly from your phone. It’s an essential tool for staying one step ahead of potential threats.
Citizens on Patrol
The Alberta Citizens on Patrol program empowers community members to actively participate in crime prevention. Volunteers patrol rural areas, acting as additional eyes and ears for the RCMP. By reporting suspicious activity, they play a crucial role in deterring crime and enhancing community safety.
Crime Watch Signage
Display your commitment to rural safety with our member signs. We offer “No Trespassing” and “Rural Crime Watch Member” signs in durable plastic or reflective aluminum. These signs serve as a clear deterrent to potential trespassers and reinforce the presence of an active Crime Watch community in your area.
