Rural Crime Watch (RCW) works with local RCMP, Fish & Wildlife officers, and other enforcement agencies to identify suspicious activity or unlawful activities. RCW also works with neighbouring community policing initiatives such as Olds Citizens on Patrol.

Volunteers with Rural Crime Watch are the eyes & ears for the enforcement services. It's neighbours looking after each other!
The areas of Olds, Didsbury, and Sundre have joined under one administrative body to be more effective and to reduce the administrative tasks. They have a phone, fax, e-mail system which they use to broadcast information warning for concerns such as:
- a particular vehicle prowling the rural areas
- individuals passing fraudulent cheques, POs, or counterfeit currency
- information on stolen property
- information on missing individuals
- watch-out notices for specific stolen property
This information is broadcast to all members and the system is only used for police or crime prevention matters. We are making an impact with crime prevention!
