La Ronge RCMP is encouraging residents to join a new program called Tri-Community Capture.
The program is being implemented in an effort to improve community safety and deter property crime in Air Ronge, La Ronge, and the Lac Ronge Indian Band neighbourhoods. If successful, the new program is expected to reduce overall criminal activity in the area.
“It has proven effective for us in the past where we know there are cameras in certain areas and we have been able to ask the community members to have a look at their footage and, if they found something that was of interest, they shared it with us,” La Ronge RCMP Staff Sgt. Dean Bridle said. “We were able to identify and charge an individual with a crime.”
If residents of the tri-communities do have a security system, they are asked to contact the RCMP. Officers would record their name, address and phone number for future reference should a crime occur in that area. Police would under no circumstances have access to an individual’s security system itself.
