Red Deer RCMP and the City of Red Deer are seeking community feedback as they work together to develop the community’s 2024-2026 Annual Policing Plan.

The Annual Policing Plan, or APP, outlines local priorities for RCMP to focus on over a two-year time frame. Officials say the plan is developed jointly by The City and RCMP and incorporates crime data and public feedback into the decision-making process.

“We are asking all community members to share their experiences with us,” said Superintendent Holly Glassford, Officer in Charge for the Red Deer RCMP detachment. “While crime statistics and data are the foundation to our policing priorities, it is also incredibly important that we understand what Red Deerians are experiencing so our policing priorities reflect the needs of our community.”

Members of the public are invited to share their experiences and concerns through a public survey. The survey is available online at reddeer.ca/APP, and will remain open until February 9.

The City says the 2024-2026 APP will take effect on April 1, replacing the previous 2022-2024 APP. Officials say the last APP also incorporated public feedback and identified three priorities, including enhanced police response and visibility, property crime reduction, and increased engagement with community partners.

“We have had great success with the 2022-24 plan’s policing priorities,” said Superintendent Glassford. “We’re looking forward to getting the results of this survey, as it will help us understand how our policing initiatives have changed the way Red Deerians are experiencing safety in our community.”
