Rural crime is a concern throughout Alberta, including in Lacombe County. Below is information on crime prevention and programs to help keep our rural communities safe.

Rural Crime Watch

The Alberta Provincial Rural Crime Watch Association wants to help reduce crime in rural areas and to create a more thorough understanding and awareness of crime prevention and best safety practices. They provide opportunities and resources for citizens to take action in protecting what's most important to them. Together with local RCMP detachments and community organizations, they create a strong awareness, expand law presence, and help reduce crime.

Lacombe County Community Peace Officers work closely with rural crime watch groups operating within the County boundaries.

Rural Crime Watch Associations & Contact

  • Alberta Provincial Rural Crime Watch Association
  • Red Deer / Lacombe Rural Community Crime Watch
    Ken Wigmore, President email
  • Medicine River Rural Crime Watch Society
    Jordan Staudinger, President email
  • Burnt Lake Rural Crime Watch

Community Crime Map

The new Crime Map, which is a “K” Division Crime Reduction Strategy, is a targeted, evidence-based approach to informing residents about 5 crime types:

  • Break and Enters
  • Stolen Vehicles
  • Missing Persons
  • Theft from Motor Vehicles and
  • Mischief

These crime types have been chosen for the map because they are opportunities where people can help reduce crime by practicing crime prevention strategies, or by reporting suspicious activity that may help the RCMP make arrests. 

If you have information about a crime, please submit it online through the Central Alberta Crime Stoppers website, or by calling 1-800-222-8477, or contact your local police detachment:

  • Bashaw RCMP - (780) 372-3593
  • Blackfalds RCMP - (403) 885-3333
  • Sylvan Lake RCMP - (403) 887-3333
  • Rimbey RCMP - (403) 843-2223
  • Ponoka RCMP - (403) 783-4471
  • Lacombe Police - (403) 782-3279

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a program aimed at preventing property related crimes. Lacombe County recognizes Central Alberta Crime Prevention Centre (CACPC) as being CPTED certified to conduct site surveys on:

  • residential properties
  • agricultural properties
  • commercial / industrial properties.

For more information or to line up a FREE inspection, contact Community Services.

Check out the Lacombe County CPTED Brochure or learn more in the Guide to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design guide.

Restorative Justice Program

RCMP Blackfalds Detachment P.A.C. Restorative Justice is a community-run program using community justice forums to promote reconciliation, settlement or compromise. 

For more information, please contact:  debbie@rrdrestorativejustice.ca .

Restorative Justice is a continuum of services that involve the person(s) harmed, the wrongdoer, and, the community and incorporates the principles of respect, inclusiveness, accountability, reparation, restoration, and community involvement. 

The purpose is not to determine guilt or innocence. The goal is to address the harm(s) done.
