What to do When Someone Goes Missing

February 11, 2018

Missing Persons

Currently, the Edmonton Police Service receives approximately 1500 reports of missing persons per year. We recognize the need to investigate missing persons reports in an efficient and effective manner.Prior to reporting a missing person the following steps must be completed.

  • check area hospitals
  • check with friends, acquaintances and family members
  • check with school and/or employer
  • check places that the person frequents

The primary question when determining if a person is missing or not is: Is this out of character for this individual?

To ensure all cases are handled appropriately and ensure the continuity of the risk assessment, all missing persons must be reported to your local police.

Each case will then involve a risk assessment where a series of questions will identify the nature and urgency of the missing persons case. If the person is deemed missing and depending on the urgency, a police member will be dispatched or the file will then be forwarded to Missing Persons Unit where the case will be further investigated.

Please note, inquiries through email cannot be submitted for investigations nor will Missing Persons Unit search for long lost relatives.

Alberta’s approach to cannabis legalization

February 8, 2018

Alberta’s approach to cannabis legalization

The federal government introduced legislation to legalize cannabis by July 2018. Alberta can decide how it will adapt to this legislation.

Alberta Cannabis Framework and An Act to Control and Regulate Cannabis

The Alberta Cannabis Framework was developed following extensive public and stakeholder engagement to best achieve our 4 policy priorities for cannabis legalization in our province:

  1. keeping cannabis out of the hands of children and youth
  2. protecting safety on roads, in workplaces and in public spaces
  3. protecting public health
  4. limiting the illegal market for cannabis

Bill 26: An Act to Control and Regulate Cannabis has passed to empower elements of the framework through legislation, which are largely in the form of amendments to the Gaming and Liquor Act.

The amendments will do 3 things:

  1. Provide authority for the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission to carry out oversight and compliance functions as well as manage the distribution of cannabis.
  2. Establish the authority to carry out public online sales, and to license privately owned and operated cannabis stores with strong oversight and provincewide rules.
  3. Establish provincial offences related to youth possession, public consumption and consumption of cannabis in vehicles.

Details on private cannabis retail, including the process and requirements for obtaining a licence, are expected in the new year.

What we heard

From June 2 to October 27, 2017, we held extensive public and stakeholder engagement so Albertans could share their thoughts, questions, expertise and ideas about cannabis.

More than 60,000 Albertans shared their input through two online surveys and in hundreds of written submissions. We also conducted additional public opinion research to ensure we heard from people across the province.

Is it Legal to Shoot an Intruder in Canada?

February 6, 2018

The Law When it Comes to Defending Your Property

written by Boris Bytensky

“Get off my property or I’ll shoot” is a phrase one might hear in a Spaghetti Western.

It’s a phrase that one may well be permitted to utter in real life if a trespasser is on your property trying to steal your car. However, following through on that threat and killing the trespasser is likely to land you in police custody, facing a charge of murder.

The recent Hamilton shooting of a suspected truck thief, allegedly by the owner of the truck (which was parked in the owner’s driveway at the time), brings into focus the Criminal Code provisions dealing with self defence and defence of property. There is no doubt that the criminal law allows us to use some force to protect our property. The question is “how much?”

Not surprisingly, the law does not provide a bright line answer to this question. Rather, the force used has to be “reasonable in the circumstances”. What is or isn’t “reasonable” depends both on who is asked to judge, and on what the “circumstances” are. For that reason, shooting a child in the back as he is running off with a toy taken from the front lawn is clearly different than wielding a baseball bat to scare off a group of adult thugs who are in the process of stealing a brand new convertible. In some cases, brandishing (but not using) a firearm may well be “reasonable.”

But what if shots are actually fired? Historically, courts in Canada — unlike their counterparts south of the border — have not extended defence of property principles to excuse shooting a thief, whether or not death ensues. In order to justify that type of excessive response, there must be more than just the threat of a loss of property involved. Did the thief, when first confronted, aggressively attempt to attack the homeowner? Did the thief himself reach for or display a weapon? Did the homeowner, in addition to the possible loss of property, honestly believe he or she was also in grave danger? Every case is obviously different, but these are the types of factors that might justify the homeowner’s use of deadly force.

Many Canadians will likely feel a great deal of sympathy for Peter Khill, the man charged with murder for allegedly shooting that suspected car thief. Some may say they would have done exactly the same thing. Undoubtedly, some will say the thief deserved it. However, for Mr. Khill’s sake, I hope the evidence demonstrates that something other than the mere theft of the truck was occurring. Perhaps, Mr. Khill had a basis to fear for his own safety, leading to his alleged use of deadly force.

Otherwise, regardless of our sympathy, Mr. Khill faces a life sentence, the automatic penalty for second degree murder (he would be eligible for parole after 10 years). While this may seem harsh to some, it’s worth remembering a lesson from another Hamilton area case — the death of Tim Bosma — that no life is worth “a stupid truck”.

Preventing Theft in Small Business Retail Locations

February 4, 2018

Being a brick-and-mortar retailer these days is challenging enough, especially with competition from eCommerce sites. The last thing you need is to worry about losing sales to shoplifters.

But according to Sennco Solutions, more than $35 million worth of retail products are stolen every day. That adds up to $13 billion a year.

There are two types of shoplifting. Organized retail theft is the work of shoplifting rings that resell the items; they typically target bigger retailers. Small retail stores are more likely to be the target of opportunistic shoplifters, people who don’t walk in planning to steal something, but spot an opportunity and decide to grab an item. By some estimates, nearly three-fourths of shoplifting events fall into this unplanned category.

How can you protect your store from shoplifters of both kinds? Try these tips.

Ways to Prevent Shoplifting

Know What Items Are at Risk

Products that are easy to conceal and sneak out are popular targets. So are “impulse” buys. Clothing and accessories, cosmetics, CDs, DVDs, and small electronics or electronics accessories (like smartphone cases) are common targets for theft.

Design Your Store to Foil Shoplifters

  • Make sure your store has enough open space to allow you to see all areas of the store. A cluttered space makes it easier to steal (and harder to tell if anything’s gone missing.)
  • If you have high shelves or secluded corners, use convex mirrors that allow you to see these “hidden” areas from the cash register. Merchandise these areas with products that are bulky and hard to steal.
  • Consider putting valuable items in locked cases so that customers need the help of a salesperson to access them.
  • Place your checkout counter near the middle front of the store so it’s centrally located — and so customers have to pass by while leaving.

Send Warning Signals

  • Installing mirrors or security cameras (even fake security cameras) can convince thieves to go elsewhere or scare opportunistic shoplifters out of acting.
    • Post signs saying, “Shoplifters Will Be Prosecuted” to indicate that you take shoplifting seriously. (You can phrase this in a more humorous or lighthearted way, depending on what you sell and who your customers are.)
    • You can also post signs saying that the store is protected by security cameras. Even if customers can’t see the cameras, they will likely think they are hidden or disguised.

    Use Your Employees as Deterrents

    • Train employees to greet shoppers when they enter the store and to keep an eye on shoppers as they browse (unobtrusively, of course.)
    • Have employees watch for suspicious packages, large bags or customers wearing bulky coats (especially in warm weather.) These are often used to smuggle products out of a store. You may want to ask shoppers with large bags to check them at the register.
    • Put locks on dressing room doors so customers can’t enter without help from an employee. Have employees count items when customers enter and again when they leave.
    • Hire adequate staff. A common tactic among retail theft rings is for one thief to distract the sales clerk while another thief stuffs a bag with products. If you don’t have enough employees on the floor, you’re setting the stage for shoplifting.

    As you take advantage of these ways to prevent shoplifting, remember that you want your store to be a welcoming place to visit. Friendly staff who greet customers, stroll around, chat and offer assistance with a smile can do more to prevent shoplifting than any security system.

Licence Plate Scanning Technology and Program in British Columbia

February 3, 2018

Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR)

Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology is used for law enforcement and other purposes. In British Columbia, police agencies use ALPR to remove unlawful drivers from the road and to identify Motor Vehicle Act infractions and criminal activity that may otherwise go undetected. B.C. RCMP Traffic Services manages and delivers the ALPR program for all police agencies using the technology in B.C.

The ALPR program was started in B.C. as a pilot project of the RCMP and Police Services Division Road Safety Unit. ALPR supports auto crime reduction, and identifies unlicenced or uninsured drivers as well as drivers prohibited or suspended under the Motor Vehicle Act or Criminal Code. These drivers pose a significant risk to the public as they are disproportionally represented in serious collisions.

The ALPR system uses infrared colour cameras and special software to read licence plates at a rate of up to 3,000 per hour. The cameras are mounted on police vehicles and scan licence plates on parked or moving vehicles. The scans are compared with the ALPR hot list, which is generated daily from Insurance Corporation of B.C. (ICBC) and Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) databases.

The secure hot list is loaded into ALPR-equipped police vehicles at the start of each shift. There is no real-time access to ICBC or CPIC drivers’ databases. A sound will alert the police officer if a scan results in a hit. The police officer must then confirm the hit against the live ICBC and CPIC databases. If the hit is confirmed, the officer responds as appropriate.

In the case of a hit, ALPR records the image of the vehicle, as well as its plate number, the date, time and GPS coordinates of the vehicle and the type of hit. The police officer will record what action was taken. No distinguishing features of vehicle occupants can be seen in 98% of the pictures taken because the camera focuses on the plate.

When a licence plate scan does not yield a hit, data about the plate is deleted from the ALPR system at the end of the officer’s shift. The only data that are saved are the date, time and GPS coordinates, which are kept for statistical purposes.

The ICBC database provides information on licence plates associated with:

  • Unlicenced drivers
  • Uninsured motor vehicles
  • Prohibited or suspended drivers

The CPIC database provides information on licence plates associated with:

  • Stolen vehicles
  • Canada-wide and B.C.-wide warrants
  • Amber alerts

How to Protect Your Car From Theft- Tips From a Former Car Thief

Tips From a Former Car Thief on How to Protect Your Car

Posted on by

 

The Truth

My criminal record is long and I was stupid when I was a kid. I wanted attention from my dad and wasn’t getting it so I started doing illegal things. It’s not my dad’s fault though, I knew the stuff I did was wrong—I was being an idiot.

I do feel bad about the things I did. Legally speaking, I put in my time for all I’d done. Paid my debt to society, if you will. But like I said, I do still feel bad, and so I thought it might be cool to “give back” some more.

One thing I did in my troubled youth, as we’ll call it, was break into cars. My friends and me got very good at it. And so here are some tips, coming from me, a former car thief, for things that you can do to make it less likely that you’ll get your car broken into.

How It Goes Down

From the moment we would break a car window, we assumed that someone was on the phone with the police. We figured that police could be on the scene in 60 seconds. To play it safe, we gave ourselves 20 seconds. 20 seconds from the initial window break to us being gone.

clock

20 seconds. That’s all it takes.

Those 20 seconds weren’t the “one Mississippi…two Mississippi…” kind either. We counted fast because we didn’t want to get caught. Honestly, it could’ve been even 10 seconds.

What does that mean for you? It means that the “just a sec” that you “run in” to drop off your library book or pick up your carry-out dinner is all we needed. Actually, way more than we needed.

In 20 seconds, we’d have your stereo, CDs, and anything else that looked cool, and be gone.

Sometimes There’s Nothing You Can Do

Sometimes, there’s nothing you can really do to avoid a break in. Like I said, it takes 20 seconds, which is fast, and you can’t do anything about that.

We’d usually walk through suburbia neighborhoods and break into cars parked in peoples’ driveways or on the street. And so if we happened to be on your street, well, nothing you can really do to prevent that.

So dudes, sometimes there’s just nothing you can do.

So What Can You Do?

  1. Stereo face plates – Put them in the glovebox. If a stereo has no faceplate, then it wasn’t worth it for me to steal. Can’t sell a stereo/radio on the black market without a face plate. I knew that it could be sitting in the glovebox, but I also knew that maybe you took it out of the car with you. It’s too uncertain, so we’d move to the next car.
  2. The Club– Actually driving away with a car that has The Club on it is not easy. It can be done, I assure you, but it takes more time than we would’ve liked. So if a car has The Club on it, we’d pass on stealing it.  Of course, cars today usually have cheap, plastic-type steering wheels and so I know that many car thieves today will just cut the steering wheel, making The Club useless. But that takes time, and time isn’t on the side of a car thief, so something like The Club will really lower your chances of getting your car swiped entirely.

    locks

    To lock or unlock…it all depends.

  3. To lock or unlock your car doors? – Depends. If you are in a particularly “bad” neighborhood, leave your car doors unlocked and your windows down. From my experience, people in those neighborhoods will break into your car no matter what. They’ve got little to lose (I’ll have a post about that later on). So you might as well leave the car open so that they don’t break your windows while they’re at it. However! If you’re in a “normal” to “good” neighborhood, lock your car doors and windows. My friends and I usually spent our time in “good” or “normal” neighborhoods and cars that were locked was a mild deterrent. If we really wanted something, we’d break your window for sure, but we’d have to really want it. If you left your doors unlocked, we’d be in there no matter if we wanted something originally or not!
  4. Car alarms– Car alarms are not the point here. What I recommend is that you have a little blinking light that’s highly visible on your dashboard somewhere. Anytime we saw a little blinking light, we’d move on because it looked like a car alarm and that wasn’t worth the trouble to us. You can buy a little blinking light at automotive stores that you affix to your dashboard with Velcro – they’re like little fake car alarms, and they work. If it looks like a car alarm and blinks like a car alarm, then we’d always pass on that car.

    hood ornament

    Don’t get a car with a hood ornament

  5. Hood ornaments – Most cars don’t have these anymore, and that’s good. My favorite thing to steal was hood ornaments (there’s a little black market on those, and there’s just something about them that I liked) and so if you had one, I’d rip it off. So easy to do. A car with a hood ornament was like a beacon, “come rip me off!”
  6. Putting stuff in your trunk – Remember how I said it took us 20 seconds to break in and steal your stuff? That quick time can actually work to your advantage. We never broke into a car and popped the trunk. Never. There wasn’t time. So if there’s something that you need to leave in your car (suitcase, CDs, GPS, sports equipment, etc), just throw it in your trunk. We never had the time to look in there.
  7. Expensive cars – There are people who steal cars for a living, and so if you have an expensive car, they’ll probably target you. But for the kind of stealing I did, we always stayed away from expensive cars. They’d probably have car alarms or something else fancy and we just weren’t interested in dealing with anything like that.
  8. Other car types – We loved Jeeps. The ones with the cloth tops. Those were prime targets for us because they’re just so easy. Breaking into them was noiseless (just cut the cloth!) and so it was very very simple.
  9. Lots of stuff in your car – If your car is full from the floor to the roof with junk, I usually passed on those cars. Too much stuff in the way, hard to tell what I wanted or didn’t, and I didn’t want some rat popping out at me or something.
  10. Nothing in your car — A car with nothing in it was a car to pass on, too. There’s nothing in there to steal – unless the stereo was something special, what would I break in to it for?

  11. loose change

    Get rid of the loose change

    Some stuff in your car – Loose change, tape measure, GPS system (or radar detectors back in my day)…those things are targets like you wouldn’t believe. When we saw some loose change, we just had to have it. Window broken, gank the $0.85 and anything else loose. And now you’ve got a broken window and insurance to deal with, all because I saw some loose change. Unless you go the route of having a car filled so much that you’re a mini-hoarder, you absolutely gotta keep it empty. No loose change. No little screwdrivers, tollway passes, sports equipment, cool signs, t-shirts, or anything!

  12. Streetlights – If your car is in shadows, then it was easier for us to break in to unnoticed. If you’re under a streetlamp, it felt too exposed. So park in well-lit areas. We never ever ever ever broke into a car that was in a well-lit area. Never. We only broke into cars that were in darkness.
  13. Exterior home lighting– You should install motion sensor lights on your home. If we walked near a home and one of those clicked on, we were the hell outta there. Exception: If a motion sensor light was hung in a spot where we could reach it, we’d just unscrew the bulb. Problem solved for us. So install motion sensor lights and for Heaven’s sake, install them high enough so that a 6 foot dude can’t unscrew the bulb in them!

    streetlamp

    Light: The Car Thief’s Enemy

  14. Parking locations – We never hit cars in big parking lots. Too much light usually, too many potential eyes watching. We only stuck to suburban neighborhoods, especially ones with not much lighting. So parking lots are safer than you might think.
  15. Spare tire – If you own a van or a truck, make sure you chain your spare tire to the vehicle. We’d rip off spare tires so easily and sell them. So chain those suckers down and make the chain visible. Just like with a blinking car alarm light (fake or not doesn’t matter!), a visible chain holding down your spare tire is an easy visual for a thief to know it’s not worth it.

The Take Home Message?

If you remember nothing else, remember these two things – (1) light is the criminal’s enemy. We hated light! Hated it! This makes light your friend. Park under street lights and park near motion sensor lights, and dumb little criminals like I was, will stay away. (2) 20 seconds. It only takes 20 seconds. Don’t ever forget that.

Grande Prairie man, 34, charged after teenage boys lured over social media

Police believe there may be other victims in Alberta, British Columbia, Northwest Territories and Australia

CBC News Posted: Jan 31, 2018 10:47 AM MTLast Updated: Jan 31, 2018 2:10 PM MT

Jonathan Karl Breunig, 34, of Grande Prairie, is facing eight charges related to child exploitation. Investigators believe there may be other victims in Canada and Australia.

Jonathan Karl Breunig, 34, of Grande Prairie, is facing eight charges related to child exploitation. Investigators believe there may be other victims in Canada and Australia. (ALERT)

A Grande Prairie man who posed as a teenage girl to lure teenage boys on social media is facing child exploitation charges after allegedly luring and trying to sexually assault a teenage boy.

Police said they have identified two victims. They believe there may be other victims in Alberta, British Columbia, Northwest Territories and Australia.

“We anticipate more victims and more charges,” Cpl. Dave Knight of the ICE unit said in a video interview supplied by ALERT.

Jonathan Karl Bruenig, 34, was arrested Jan. 23, the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams said Wednesday.

The offences against the teenage boy were reported to police by a concerned relative, ALERT said.

ALERT’s Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) unit alleges that Bruenig used a number of online personas, often posing as a teenage girl on social media to lure teenage boys.

“Breunig was mostly posing as a teenage girl,” Knight said. “He was using the photos and names of innocent third parties to construct these personas.”

Involved with junior hockey teams

Word of the charges against Bruenig made its way through Grande Prairie-area arenas, as he was involved with junior hockey teams.

“You never expect to hear things like that about somebody you’ve seen around the rink or have met,” said Kyle Chapple, head coach and general manager for the County of Grande Prairie JDA Kings. “When I originally first got the call about this, it was shocking.”

ICE alleges that Bruenig’s online conversations would progress from sexualized chats to sharing explicit photos and videos.

Hate Crimes Up in Alberta and Edmonton

January 31, 2018

Alberta and Edmonton see highest rise in reported hate crimes in Canada

By Radio anchor/reporter  630CHED

\Reported hate crimes are up across Canada, with incidents in Edmonton and Alberta climbing most dramatically in the latest data.

Stats Canada has released the numbers on the amount of hate crimes that happened across the country in 2015, showing a five per cent increase from a year earlier. Alberta alone helped boost those numbers with a 39 per cent jump: 193 incidents in 2015 compared to 139 in 2014.

Most of the victims were being targeted because of their religion or race. Incidents that were aimed toward Muslims saw the largest increase, followed by acts against Arabs or West Asians. Crimes targeting Black or Jewish people were also up.

Edmonton saw the biggest jump of Canada’s largest cities, with 45 more incidents in 2015 over 2014. The city also had the sixth highest number of reported hate crimes, at six for every 100,000 people.

Lethbridge Police Services told Global News Tuesday it had two hate crimes reported in 2016, compared to five in 2015 and two in 2014.

The Calgary Police Service said the number of reported hate crimes had dropped from 75 in 2014 to 68 in 2015.

Acting Staff Sgt. Craig Collins said Tuesday he hasn’t yet gathered statistics for 2016, but he expects the number of reported hate-biased incidents to increase.

He said the police service errors on the side of caution when it comes to reporting such incidents, which could contribute to a spike in the numbers.

“I tell our recruits: I would rather they indicate there was a hate-biased angle to the investigation so that the file comes to me – so that I can make that decision,” he said.

Collins said the CPS has seen a rise in religious or race-based hate crimes, as opposed to crimes focused on sex or physical disability. He added that most have been non-violent.

In an email, a spokesperson for the Edmonton Police Service said it would respond to the report on Wednesday morning.

Hate crimes because of a person’s sexual orientation were down nationally, however incidents related to sexuality were most likely to be violent.

Stats Canada admits there was an increase in the overall number of crimes in general in Alberta. It also pointed out the efforts that are being made by police to reach out to minorities and encourage more reporting of hate crimes.
