Rural Crime - Have You Ever Wondered?

Rural crime in Alberta continues to be a concern, with rates significantly higher than in urban areas (Statistics Canada). Property crimes such as mischief and break-and-enter are particularly prevalent, with mischief accounting for 43% of all property crimes in rural areas.

These trends underscore the need for Parkland County residents to be diligent. Please take the time to lock up your valuables, including your garage and vehicles. Ensure your yard and home are well lit. If your neighbours/group would like a brief presentation on CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design), please contact Parkland County Enforcement Services.


Parkland County Enforcement Services has increased patrols in specific areas of suspicious activity to ensure your safety and security. Help us out...please report any suspicious activity that you notice.
