May 2012 Message

Over the last month we have made significant strides to expand our communication links with our Sturgeon County partners. We already have great relationships with the R.C.M.P., Citizens on Patrol, and Victim Services in Morinville. Now we have another major partner with the Sturgeon County Protective Services.

Discussions are now underway with the Edmonton Garrison Military Police to form a partnership. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg. We will soon reach out to other County Departments and groups such as Transportation, Field Personnel, School Buses, and communities in the Sturgeon County to become even more effective. We are now reaching out to Gibbons, Bon Accord, Legal, Calahoo, Riviere Qui Barre, Villeneuve and the numerous sub-divisions.

I have often said how great it would be to see all 34,000 Sturgeon County residents proudly displaying our Yellow Crime Watch Signs in front of their homes, sub-divisions, and local businesses. What a great

deterrent it would be if we engaged all our residents to actively become additional “Eyes & Ears” to assist all our all protection agencies.

We are on the cusp of getting a state of the art Fan Out System that has the capacity to link all our residents with email fan outs, phone out fan outs and even text messages. Amber Alerts, warning of missing children, persons with medical difficulties and wildfires will easily be communicated to Sturgeon County residents immediately.

We have other community based agencies we can easily link with if needed such as: The Canadian Search Dog Association and North

Central Alberta Amateur Radio Club. You are already seeing some fan outs coming from our neighbour Stony Plain RCW that might affect us.

Look for ways to reduce the opportunity for crime by improving and implementing security practices in our homes, outbuildings, vehicles and machinery. Be vigilant in observing neighbouring properties and we will reach our goal of safe communities in the Sturgeon County.

We need you to talk it up to your friends, neighbors and local businesses; we are all in this together.
