Public Safety committee  I would like some clarification on the answer you would like back with commentary, and the direction our commentary should go.

Public Safety committee  I don't need the answer specifically, just the direction you're looking for from us on that question.

Public Safety committee  Yes, absolutely. With regard to the dashboards I mentioned earlier, we needed to get our data in order to create an intelligence dashboard that would give a good snapshot of both the people of interest and the crime trends in each area. We've already had the discussions with th

Public Safety committee  That's right. That's the key, yes.

Public Safety committee  Certainly, as one of the things, I'll address one aspect of your question, which is awareness. More and more now, people living in rural environments, particularly people who are moving from urban to rural areas, don't know their neighbours. They don't know the people who surroun

Public Safety committee  I will go through this in a couple of stages. The first initiative I will talk about is our enhanced intelligence capacity. We have criminal intelligence coordinators who liaise with our enforcement partners, as well as our detachment, to develop information that we use for spec

Public Safety committee  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

Public Safety committee  Are those stats for all of Canada? I just wanted to clarify.

Public Safety committee  No, I do not.

Public Safety committee  I can address that. What we're talking about in terms of breaking the cycle or addressing the root causes of crime really comes down to offender management. Offender management for habitual offenders throughout Alberta is a priority for all of our detachments to carry. I can te
