County of Grande Prairie launches crime prevention app pilot project
As of May 10, 2021, the County of Grande Prairie in partnership with the Beaverlodge District Rural Crime Watch launched a crime prevention pilot project using the Lightcatch app.
The Lightcatch app allows residents in the County to report a crime using their cell phone or security systems.
When sending in a report to the app, you can send videos, photos and descriptions and show the location where the crime took place.
When the report is created, others who have the app downloaded can be notified immediately of a crime in progress in their area.
