‘We know that rural crime is an issue and are thrilled to launch this pilot project today,” said Leanne Van Wagner, President, Beaverlodge District Rural Crime Watch. “This tool is available to all residents in the County of Grande Prairie so we can collectively increase safety in our community and reduce crime rates.”
