I can say that I'm not aware of any study that has been done to compare call volumes from rural areas with those in city areas.
I can tell you that I've attended a number of town halls throughout Alberta, and our messaging to Albertans has been that we're looking for their help in reporting crime. We've been encouraging people to report crime.
In fact, we've restructured some of our call management to improve our ability to respond to those people who simply have a report of crime, when perhaps there's nothing the police can do in the first instance. We've developed what we call a call-back unit that's able to take in some of that information so that we still capture the intelligence that helps guide our patrols and where we direct our officers on patrol. It ensures that we have follow-up with Albertans out in the public and that they understand that the police have taken this information.
If there is some actionable information that the police need to take action on, they'll be connected with an officer to attend.
