RCMP shut down drug-linked homes in Wetaskiwin using civil orders, citing community complaints and reducing crime, but displacement has created new challenges.
The Wetaskiwin RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit, using civil legislation through the SCAN initiative, has shut down several residences linked to drug trafficking and disorder since October, including homes in Jubilee Trailer Park and on 50 St. and 52 Ave., with one property housing about a dozen people vacated.
Actions follow anonymous community complaints and may result in up to 90-day closures via court-issued Community Safety Orders.
While criminal activity has decreased in targeted areas, displacement of residents has created new challenges, prompting efforts to address secondary impacts.
Concerns can be reported confidentially through SCAN’s toll-free line or online portal without involving police or city officials.
