PRINCE ALBERT - The Prince Albert Police Service Proactive Policing Unit (PPU) has completed a project focused on warrant enforcement in the Prince Albert.
Throughout the month of November the members of the Proactive Policing Unit worked with a Criminal Analyst and attended multiple residences in an effort to locate and apprehend offenders with outstanding warrants.
Information Management staff (PRMC) assisted these efforts by ensuring appropriate disclosure was completed following each arrest and outlined when each person was required to appear in court.
As a result, a total of 49 people were arrested and 114 warrants were executed. Those warrants included but are not limited to offences such as breaching court ordered conditions, assault, break and enter, sexual assault, theft under $5,000, and possession of a weapon.
Throughout this time period there was 47 self-generated calls, 17 new charges were laid, and one stolen vehicle was recovered.
“Proactive policing initiatives would not be successful without the determination and dedication of our officers. We prioritize the safety and well-being of our community by locating and apprehending offenders who feel the rules don’t apply to them,” Chief of Police Patrick Nogier said in the news release.
The Prince Albert Police Service continues to explore crime reductions strategies for known offenders to positively address the root cause of crime in the community.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of a person believed to have outstanding warrants for their arrest is asked to contact police at 306-953-4222, or in an emergency 9-1-1, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
