| East Central Rural Crime Watch was created in 2018. So, what is a Rural Crime Watch? Rural Crime Watch is a community driven, community led, police supported Crime Prevention, Crime Reduction collaborative program. Volunteers have a vested interest in their community, they share the common goal of safe homes, safe community. They know who live in their area. They will share information via email, twitter, or telephone. Who is it run by? Volunteers, who: Observe-Record-Report to their local detachment any unusual or suspicious activities in their surroundings. The RCMP will inform the Rural Crime Watch group when there is criminal activity in the area. Statistics show: that areas where there is an organized crime watch tend to have a significant reduction in criminal activity. How does it work? By reporting suspicious activity in our area immediately to the RCMP or 911, we all become citizens concerned about the quality of life in our community. We become the extra eyes and ears, and report suspicious activity to the police. Rural Crime Watch is a part of the Community Based Policing program, and has already been proven successful. Would you like to be involved? Volunteers will have to complete a security check with their local RCMP and then fill out an application. How much time is required? Becoming a member of Rural Crime Watch does not take up a lot of your time. Volunteers are another set of eyes and ears for your local police when they may not in your area. Working together helps the police solve crime and prevent further crime. This makes our communities a safer place to live.
