CAPTURE program proving successful in solving crime
A Red Deer business manager is encouraging others to help deter crime by registering for the RCMP’s CAPTURE program.
Launched last July, Community Assisted Policing Through Use of Recorded Evidence (CAPTURE) is a program that enables businesses and residents alike to register their security cameras with Red Deer RCMP. By doing so, RCMP receive assistance with their investigations, and achieving their overall crime prevention goals for Red Deer.
James Vernon, branch manager at KMS Tools and Equipment, says he sees great benefits for the community coming from CAPTURE.
“I’m originally from Vancouver and I moved here about a year and a half ago,” says Vernon. “So when I noticed that the CAPTURE program was available for us or anybody else to be a part of it, I took the liberty of signing up KMS Tools so that we could be more proactive in our crime fighting abilities, instead of just complaining about the problem.”
