Alberta Sheriffs SCAN unit
Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) is a unit of the Alberta Sheriffs that helps keep communities safe by dealing with problem properties that are being used for specific illegal activity such as:
-drug trafficking
-prostitution
-child exploitation
-gang-related crime

-SCAN operates based on citizen complaints not complaints from the police of jurisdiction. SCAN does liaise and work with RCMP once an investigation has been opened. 
-SCAN will conduct investigations on municipal and rural properties. 
-No one can disclose your identity to any person or agency, including law enforcement and courts, without your consent.

If a property is being used for illegal activity you may notice some common signs.
Seeing one of these signs doesn’t always mean illegal activity is going on, but if they happen often or together, a problem may exist.
Some common signs of illegal activity include:
-frequent visitors at all times of the day and night
-frequent late night activity
-extensive home security
-residents that are rarely seen, distant or secretive
-windows blackened or curtains always drawn
-neglected property and yard
-people repeatedly visiting the property who only go to the door for a short time
-residents who regularly meet vehicles near the property for a short time
-strange odours coming from the house or garbage
-garbage that contains numerous bottles and containers, particularly chemical containers
-putting garbage in a neighbour's collection area


To confidentially report a suspicious property, contact SCAN toll-free at 1-866-960-SCAN (7226) or complete their online form at the following website:  https://www.alberta.ca/report-suspicious-property

  • Someone has stolen something from you that costs less than $5000
  • Someone has vandalized your property or vehicle and it will cost less than $5000 to repair it
  • The crime happened within the jurisdiction of the Alberta RCMP
You cannot use Online Crime Reporting if:
  • There is a witness or suspect
  • There are lost or stolen items involving personal identity, firearms, licence plates or decals
We will need your:
  • Name
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Email

A typical report will take 15 minutes to complete.

The Innisfail RCMP Detachment provides quarterly Community Policing Reports to Town Council which serves to provide a snap shot of the Innisfail Provincial Crime Gauge in both: Criminal Code Offenses and Select Property Crime.

No matter how small it may seem, all crime should be reported. Depending on the crime, reports can be made to 9-1-1, the RCMP non-emergency line, RCMP online reporting and the Penhold Community Peace Officers.

The RCMP deals with criminal code (theft, sexual assault, murder, robbery, domestic, etc.) and CPOs cannot.

The RCMP can lay criminal charge offences and CPOs cannot.

The RCMP can enforce all Federal, Provincial and Municipal Laws and CPO’s deal with Provincial Statutes (Traffic Safety Act, Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act, Trespassing Act, etc) and local Bylaws (Traffic, Land Use, Community Standards, Utility, etc) where they are employed with Traffic Safety Act and have jurisdiction where are employed unless there is an agreement between both parties.
