Red Deer’s top cop saying goodbye after 29-year career

Dec 13, 2021 | 10:55 AM

Red Deer’s top cop is retiring.

Superintendent Gerald Grobmeier has spent the last six years of his 29-year career in Red Deer, including the last two years in charge.

“I am proud to have seen the Red Deer detachment become a leader in the district, in the division and nationally,” said Superintendent Grobmeier. “I am honoured to have served this wonderful community, and it has been a pleasure for my family and I to call Red Deer home.”

In his time here, Grobmeier spearheaded the PINPOINT program, a crime reduction initiative designed to target prolific and repeat offenders.

He also oversaw the launch of CAPTURE, a program which allows residents and business to register security cameras, as well as Garage529, a bike registry to deter bike theft and ensure any that are stolen can be recovered and returned.
