Red Deer RCMP’s Community Response Unit (CRU) has been busy the last two weeks, arresting a number of people for drug trafficking and drug possession, checking in on numerous people on probation or parole to make sure they are meeting their conditions and, in several incidents, seizing weapons. The unit has some specific focuses: monitoring prolific and habitual offenders throughout the city, offering a consistent police presence in the downtown core, and focusing attention on specific people and areas where issues are cropping up.
“A disproportionate amount of the crime in any city is committed by a small number of people, most of whom police are quite familiar with,” says Cpl. Leanne Molzahn of the Red Deer RCMP. “The work of CRU is intelligence driven and proactive – we look for patterns of activity and focus extra attention there, and we monitor particular individuals who we know are criminally active.”
CRU monitors a number of people who have been identified as prolific offenders – those who are committing numerous offenses, often breaching current court conditions while committing them, and having a significant impact on the community. The unit also closely monitors a number of people who have been released after serving their sentences but who have been flagged as a high risk to re-offend; in these cases, the crimes more often included violence or the risk of violence. In both cases, the monitoring includes meetings, followed by regular checks to make sure they are complying with curfews and other court-imposed conditions. It also includes referrals to support agencies that could help them get out of the criminal lifestyle.
“Close monitoring of prolific and high-risk offenders sends a clear message,” says Molzahn. “We’re here to ensure that people are abiding by the conditions of their release, and to enforce the law when they aren’t.”
