As part of their crime reduction initiative, Stony Plain/Spruce Grove/Enoch Detachment members are actively seeking those individuals that are wanted on outstanding warrants. "In the past months, our members have executed in excess of 100 warrants of arrest. These were individuals that were wanted on charges from our detachment area as well as other jurisdictions within the Province of Alberta," states SM Kevin McGillivray.
If you believe you have an outstanding warrant, police are asking that you attend your closest police detachment with photo identification to turn yourself in. "Over the coming months, we will continue to track down people that are in Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Enoch and Parkland County," SM Kevin McGillivray advises. Police will be attempting to contact wanted individuals at their residence, at their workplace, by telephone or anywhere else they may be located. Phone calls are not to be confused with various scams that are currently taking place. The local detachment will be contacting wanted individuals by phone and asking that they attend the detachment with photo identification so that they can speak with a police officer in person.
If you believe you may have a warrant for unpaid fines, you may attend your local police detachment or the nearest Alberta Provincial Court House with your photo identification to pay the fine. "Pro-actively taking care of your warrants will prevent you from being disrupted from your workplace, going out to dinner with your family or anything else you may be doing," says SM McGillivray.
If you know the whereabouts of an individual that has an outstanding warrant, please contact the Stony Plain RCMP at 780-968-7200. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact crime stoppers by phone at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), by internet at www.tipsubmit.com, or by SMS (www.crimestoppers.ab.ca for instructions). While the police officer will not be able to confirm or discuss the particulars of the warrant with the caller, they will investigate to determine if there is in fact an outstanding warrant and will use the information to assist in locating the individual.
