Alberta RCMP launch a mobile app to help keep Albertans informed
January 10, 2022 - Edmonton, Alberta
Alberta RCMP has officially launched its brand-new mobile app for iOS and Android devices. The app has been developed to simplify the online user experience on mobile devices to ensure that Albertans can access information quickly and conveniently. The app is available as a free download through Apple or Google Play.
Developing the app allows the Alberta RCMP to provide the public with online access to news, crime reporting, detachment locations, crime mapping and statistics, and a map for initiatives like Project Lock Up. The app also provides access to partner law enforcement services, mental health supports, Crime Stoppers and links to Alberta RCMP social media accounts.
"An app is an easy way for the public to stay connected and report crime to the police along with gaining quick and easy access to Alberta RCMP news and information," said Supt. Peter Tewfik, Officer in charge of the Alberta RCMP's Community Safety and Wellbeing Branch. "Having an app will provide the public with an option for digital accessibility that is convenient and centralized."
Even though the app provides convenient links to Alberta RCMP social media account, this app will not replace existing website, social media feeds, or other sources for information. The tool also will not replace other methods of crime reporting, engagement, or emergency assistance. Citizens should remember that social media posts or use of other third-party crime apps are not appropriate ways to report a crime.
If you need to contact the Alberta RCMP or to report a crime, please remember the following:
- For emergencies, or if you see a crime in progress, phone 911.
- For non-emergency property crimes, you can file your report online through the Alberta RCMP app, or contact your nearest RCMP detachment.
- If you have information about a crime and wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), online at www.P3Tips.com or by using the "P3 Tips" app available through the Apple App or Google Play Store.
- For scams and fraud, contact your local detachment and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca
In full compliance with Canadian privacy laws for mobile apps by the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta, the Alberta RCMP app will not track or monitor users in any way.

Lightcatch App - Stop Crime Before It Happens
Stopping crime before it happens is random and disjointed. The public has no way of knowing or helping. Slow-moving information cripples the police. This causes the courts to be weak on crime because the costs are too high. Which only isolates and divides the public even more. Security systems are isolated.
Help at Lightspeed
Our mobile phones tell us more about the weather, than possible crimes nearby. Dangers to our safety or property should reach us before it is too late. Lives are at stake. Everyone can be a witness. If they can see new locations and new evidence, results will be even faster. The police can get many confirmations, from hundreds of extra eyes. Stop crime before it happens, better.
When the public sees closure. This builds confidence in policing. It shows that caring is valuable. Arrests, if needed, take place within minutes. If everything that is visible is legal and respectful, every part of the system is more accountable. Sentencing is more common because there is a mountain of evidence. There is social pressure on police services, lawyers, judges, and even the suspects social circle, to care. Think avalanche, not snowball.
For People. Free. Lightcatch is a free app where everyone can help.
Anonymous and safe to use. Proven effective in hundreds of cases. The communities that use Lightcatch to help stop crime before it happens the most often, have lower crime rates per resident. Triaged by a Canadian-based team to ensure it is legally compliant and respectful to everyone. This is so much better than being alone and hoping.
