The recommendations include a number of important steps including improved connections, communications and resources for programs like Citizens on Patrol and Rural Crime Watch.<\/p>\n<p>This report summarizes the findings of these meetings and the associated work of the CPC-MP Rural Crime Task Force and UCP MLAs. It recognizes the dynamic and changing needs of rural Alberta communities related to crime and safety while capturing strong public sentiment and expert information on issues related to rural crime in Alberta. The report also examines the sufficiency of the current process of crime statistics reporting and offers recommendations at local, provincial and federal levels as to how that can be improved. The reflections, opportunities and observations in this report reflect the consensus view of those consulted, and do not necessarily reflect the views of the CPC-MP RCTF.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciate everyone taking the time to include your observations and recommendations on the current situation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<pre><a href=\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Toward-a-Safer-Alberta-AB-Rural-Crime-Task-Force-Report-FINAL.pdf\">The report can be downloaded here<\/a>.<\/pre>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rural-crime-cover.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1137\" src=\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rural-crime-cover-223x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"223\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nearly one year ago, Conservative Members of Parliament representing constituencies across Alberta formed a dedicated [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[11,3,9],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Toward a Safer Alberta - AB Rural Crime Task Force Report - John Barlow<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/toward-a-safer-alberta-ab-rural-crime-task-force-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Toward a Safer Alberta - AB Rural Crime Task Force Report - John Barlow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Nearly one year ago, Conservative Members of Parliament representing constituencies across Alberta formed a dedicated [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/toward-a-safer-alberta-ab-rural-crime-task-force-report\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"John Barlow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-11-13T18:47:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/rural-crime-cover-223x300.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"grantdingwall\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"grantdingwall\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/toward-a-safer-alberta-ab-rural-crime-task-force-report\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/toward-a-safer-alberta-ab-rural-crime-task-force-report\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"grantdingwall\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/johnbarlowmp.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/66ca37a9b5aae5c9cea506bd9bb25b33\"},\"headline\":\"Toward a Safer Alberta &#8211;
