RCMP Encourages Community Involvement Via 3 Programs
Program #1:
Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association builds safer communities
St. Albert RCMP is encouraging community members to help build safer and more connected neighbourhoods in 2025 by joining the Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association (ACCPA).
ACCPA, established in 1989, has played a vital role in connecting rural and urban communities, law enforcement, and agencies to promote education and awareness around crime prevention across Alberta. With a mission to ensure safety through active community engagement, ACCPA empowers residents to work together and take an active role in community safety and well-being.
While policing is a critical component of public safety, law enforcement alone cannot address the complex challenges communities face. Organizations like ACCPA are instrumental in fostering citizen involvement, providing valuable resources, and building partnerships that lead to meaningful change.
By joining ACCPA, members gain access to discounts on conferences, speaker series, and resources, along with opportunities to engage in local crime prevention initiatives and earn voting rights within the organization.
“Everything begins in our communities,” says Jean Bota, Executive Director of ACCPA. “When strong, engaged citizen-led groups work alongside law enforcement, we harness tremendous citizen power to create meaningful change.”
