ABOUT US

Our Association strives to promote rural crime prevention through communication, education, community events and fundraising. “We are the Eyes & Ears of Rural Alberta”

We are a voluntary, community owned and run organization formed for the purpose of reducing crime in the areas served by the Breton RCMP Detachment. We hope to affect anyone (village and acreage residents, farmers, ranchers & businesses) that have an interest in their community. We believe that crime is less likely to occur in a community where people are alert to the potential for crime and are willing to look out for each other and work closely with the local RCMP. Statistics show that in areas where there is an organized Crime Watch, there has been significant reduction in criminal activity.

The current Executive took office in 2012 and has spent much of the last year resurrecting the Association. We have established a membership base of 130 community families and 6 corporate members. We have given members access to signs to post at their gates and along their fence lines. We have established a schedule of community meetings (3 per year) and Board meetings (6 per year) to keep members informed and connected. We have increased the number of Directors from 6 to 10 in an effort to have broader representation in each of the community areas of our Association. We have joined forces with Tomahawk Rural Crime Watch Society on a telephone fan-out program.

Family memberships (per household) are $25 and span a lifetime. Corporate/Business memberships (home-based included) are $100 annually.

As Rural Crime Watch members, we are making a positive difference through our actions. Our goal is to make our community a better and safer place and we’d like you to be part of that.
