Crime Prevention and Education

Preventing crime is everyone's business. While police officers are visibly present and doing their best to prevent and deter crime, it is in partnership with our citizens that crime is most effectively prevented. 

As a volunteer with the Edmonton Police Service, you have the opportunity to work along side police officers by providing information to community residents and those most vulnerable. You will help ensure they can take appropriate steps to protect themselves from becoming a victim of crime. 

For those who wish to be more proactive, there are numerous community patrol groups in the city. These civilians provide extra eyes and ears and work alongside police officers by reporting unusual and suspicious behaviour.
