Peace Region Crime Watch & Safety
Local safety news, awareness alerts, and the right numbers to report crime in Grande Prairie and the surrounding communities.
Road & community alerts
Warn your neighbours about accidents, closures, black ice, wildlife on the highway, and wind/snow — real-time, local, and moderated. Alerts expire on their own. Always call 911 for emergencies.
Grande Prairie & area — wanted & crime tips
We link only to official sources — the RCMP and Alberta Crime Stoppers. If you have information about a crime or a wanted person, submit it anonymously to Crime Stoppers — never post names publicly.
Latest crime & safety updates
Auto-updated hourly from RCMP & regional news across the Peace Country. Always call 911 for emergencies.
Why not a public "most-wanted" wall? Publicly naming people invites mistaken identity, harassment and legal liability — official channels keep tips accurate, anonymous and safe.

Neighbourhood safety tips
- Lock vehicles and never leave keys, wallets, or garage remotes inside — most thefts are from unlocked vehicles.
- Use motion lights and a video doorbell; well-lit homes are far less likely to be targeted.
- Report suspicious activity early to the RCMP non-emergency line — you don't have to wait for a crime to happen.
- Watch for common scams (CRA, e-transfer, grandparent, and marketplace scams) and never send money or gift cards to strangers.
- Get to know your neighbours and consider a Block Watch / Rural Crime Watch group in your area.
