Alberta’s Crime Watch members set to visit Swan City for annual symposium
Alberta Rural Crime Watch Association members are set to close in on the Swan City this month, as they meet up for their annual symposium on February 21 and 22, hosted by the Grande Prairie District Rural Crime Watch Association.
It’s the first time in more than a decade the local chapter has hosted the annual provincial meeting, where the focus is set on the sharing and collaboration of crime prevention tips and tricks from across Alberta.
GPRCWA President Ed Pierce says so far, 130 provincial members are slated to make the trip up to Grande Prairie for the symposium.
“Which is the same as they had in Nisku last year,” said Pierce. “For us in Grande Prairie to be hosting a symposium of the same size as they do in central Alberta, it was never heard of before.”
