If you see crime, report it.
That's the message from Ponoka RCMP, who say that in recent months police have observed several incidents that were being discussed on social media that were never reported to the local detachment.
“Accurate timely reporting of crime is essential for our officers to not only effectively investigate and solve crime but also to proactively direct resources to combat emerging trends,” said Staff Sergeant Erin St-Cyr, Detachment Commander of the Ponoka RCMP. “We encourage everyone who is a victim of a crime to report to your local detachment, we ask that you be willing to provide your account as a witness to help ensure an effective prosecution and secure a conviction in court.”
Ponoka RCMP will be hosting a public town hall this fall.
