The Edmonton Police Service Community Action Team (CAT) will be active in west Edmonton next week to build on community policing efforts and to help citizens connect directly with officers and social agencies in a less formal environment.
“We invite residents to come out and meet the officers, tell us your concerns, and find out how you can help us fight crime in your neighbourhood,” says Sgt. David Pelletier.
The CAT deployment will focus on reducing property and violent crimes, and targeting criminal activity in the area. Police units will be highly visible and in maximum contact with the public, and volunteers from partner agencies will be helping to connect the public with crime prevention materials and other related services.
Neighbourhood residents are invited out to the EPS Mobile Action Centre that will be set up in the deployment areas, and to enjoy a free community barbecue while they speak to officers and volunteers.
