On October 10 Alberta RCMP launched a new online Crime Map for jurisdictions across the province. The maps provide data from the last two weeks and allow citizens access to verified information in relation to criminal activity in their neighbourhoods.

Equipped with accurate information, Alberta RCMP hopes citizens will use the map to develop sound crime prevention habits for their families and their communities and encourage citizens to report suspicious activities.

"Through the Crime Map, we hope to raise Albertans' awareness level about criminal activities in their backyards so they can report suspicious activity and help us make their neighbourhoods safer," said  Mike Good, Superintendent, Operations Strategy Branch, Alberta RCMP.

The types of crimes found on the map include - theft from motor vehicle, theft of motor vehicle, break and enter, theft over/under $5,000, mischief and missing persons reports.
