The City of Leduc, Alberta, is asking residents to share their safety concerns and ideas with a new policing committee to help guide local law enforcement. This committee was started because of provincial rules that require communities with over 15,000 people to have a group of residents who provide feedback on police services. The group meets once a month to talk about community issues and bring those suggestions directly to the Leduc RCMP and the local government.
In a survey for 2026, people living in the area identified property crime, traffic enforcement, and seeing more police in the community as their top concerns. While most residents say they are satisfied with the current police service, the committee will focus on these specific issues to improve safety. These priorities help shape how officers spend their time in the city and surrounding areas.
The City of Leduc Council is also reviewing a budget for 2026 that adds $308,000 to the police contract to help manage a higher number of reports. City officials recently shared that criminal incidents reached a five-year high in 2024, with about 92 cases reported for every regular officer. Residents who want to share their thoughts can sign up through the city website or use the city’s engagement portal.
