MESSAGE FROM THE POLICE COMMISSION
The Camrose Police Commission has a role to ensure that Camrose receives efficient and
effective policing and the responsibility of providing civilian oversight. During 2012 the Alberta
Justice and Solicitor Generals Department finalized their Policing Oversight Standards for
oversight agencies in the Province. I am pleased to report that your Commission’s current
policies had addressed the concerns of the government and will only require minor modification
to fully comply with the new governance standards. This again acknowledges how your
Commission is proactively working to maintain transparency and supporting our Police Service
and community to create a productive environment that is conducive to our mission statement
“Public safety through Policing excellence”.
The outstanding dedication of our Police Officers is evident through their commitment as
volunteers in community activities and as role models in youth projects as well as achieving the
goals set by the service to provide a safe community. The member’s commitment to the school
resource officer program to interact with students providing communication opportunities to
demonstrate that public safety is a benefit to all ages.
Our Public Complaints Director has received a few complaints this year and all have been
addressed to ensure our citizens concerns are answered quickly, transparently and efficiently. I
must commend our volunteer Lorrie Sitler and the Service for quick and open communication in
resolving these issues.
The Camrose Police Commission is working closely with the Alberta Association of Police
Governance to create tools, information and best practices essential in the work of police
governance and oversight, as well as providing input to the Alberta Justice Solicitor Generals
Policing Oversight Standards.
Our Commission consisting of Robert Ford (Vice Chair), Councillor Gerry Galenza, Councillor
Ray McIsaac, Kevin Hycha, Mike Howard, Lorrie Sitler (Public Complaints Director) and I as
Chair; look forward to achieving the goals of Chief Kambeitz’s five year strategic plan to provide
Camrose residents and businesses a safe community to live and work.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE
This annual report is an opportunity for me to provide our citizens with a snapshot of our
accomplishments for 2012. The reports attached highlight a positive relationship with our
community and our collective efforts to keep Camrose safe.
This report includes the enhanced activities of our Crime Prevention and School Resource
Officers. Their communication and collaboration with several community organizations in 2012
has strengthened our connections and provides ongoing feed back from our citizens. I applaud
and strongly encourage any partnerships between the police and the citizens we serve.
Our 2012 Crime Analysis indicates a 7% decrease in reported criminal offences from 2011. This
includes an 18% reduction in crimes against persons, which was a targeted area of concern in
2012. The analysis also shows an 8% decrease in reported drug offences in 2012. This decrease
was anticipated as our efforts were focused on drug traffickers, resulting in fewer possession
charges; however accomplishing our goal by charging 37 traffickers throughout the year. The
2012 Traffic Analysis shows a minor decrease of reported collisions in 2012 from 2011. We will
continue to support all traffic safety initiatives in our ongoing commitment to making our
roadways as safe as possible.
Our commitment to training and preparedness were tested in 2012 with two homicides occurring.
Each investigation is a priority requiring significant resources dedicated from the start and
ongoing until its presentation to the courts. These complex investigations which resulted in the
persons responsible charged; are verification of the competencies and commitment of all of our
personnel.
I look forward to 2013, where we will again open our doors to outside auditors through the
Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, as we seek our 6th. Accreditation.
Each process provides evidence based proof of our competencies and high standards in our
commitment to serve our citizens.

Chief of Police

Accreditation……..
“To be recognized as an agency that has conformed to a body of
standards related to a specific discipline”.
Maintaining Compliance and Reaccreditation
The Camrose Police Service (CPS) will be seeking their sixth re-accreditation award in April of
2013. During this time and up to the On-Site Assessment in April of 2013, work is being
conducted to maintain the 486 files to a re-accreditation status. This is to ensure the Camrose
Police Service is living by the letter and spirit of the standards.
In maintaining these high law enforcement standards, CPS has continued to:






strengthen crime prevention programs
formalize essential management procedures
establish fair and nondiscriminatory personnel practices
improve service-delivery
solidify interagency cooperation and coordination and
enhance citizen and staff confidence
Our next re-accreditation cycle will be introducing Power DMS, a company that partnered with
CALEA to develop and deliver the Accreditation Process, electronically. This “paperless”
process will be a benefit to the CPS and our environment.
The CPS still maintains a CALEA certified Assessor that travels to different agencies to assess
them on the CALEA process. The expertise gained by this has afforded the CPS to have the best
practices in law enforcement.
The CPS is and has been a member of the Canadian Police Accreditation Coalition (CANPAC).
Being one of the founding members, an executive position is held by the CPS. Within CANPAC,
all Canadian agencies have the opportunity to discuss the CALEA process and make this process
Canadian friendly.

CRIME PREVENTION/COMMUNITY RELATIONS
The Crime Prevention Unit of the Camrose Police Service is responsible for developing and
maintaining community partnerships to enhance the safety of our community. The unit also
works at educating the citizens of Camrose so they can prevent themselves from falling victim to
criminals. The Crime Prevention Unit incorporates one officer who works in a partnership with
individuals, businesses, groups, and organizations within Camrose on various crime prevention
initiatives and proactive education. The goal of the program is to work towards keeping Camrose
a safe community. 2012 saw Cst. Matthew Wilton complete his first full year as the Crime
Prevention Officer after he took over the role from Cst. Shawn Lofgren in late 2011.
Public education is a large portion of the Crime Prevention Officers job; in 2012 several
presentations were given to various organizations and groups. Examples of these presentations
include: fraud prevention, identity theft, drug awareness, impaired driving, cyber safety, domestic
violence, self-defense, robbery procedures, school zone safety, and mobility aid safety. Cst. Rolfe
has also continued to assist with public relations and education by conducting several
presentations and demonstrations to various organizations and schools with the Police Service
Dog Mishka. Cst. Rolfe has also utilized his connections with the Camrose Kodiaks and other
minor hockey teams to continue to provide hockey teams with presentations on appropriate
behavior on and off of the ice.
In 2012 twenty school tours were conducted by the Crime Prevention Officer. Most of these were
with children in kindergarten or early elementary. The children were given a tour of the Police
Service including a chance to see the Police cars and Police cell block area. The Children were
also introduced to several of the various units within the Camrose Police Service and were given
a brief lecture about what a Police Officer does. The tours were normally ended with a video on
personal safety as well as some question and answer time. New to 2012, the children were given a
short forensic fingerprint development demonstration. All tours were very well received.
The Crime Prevention Officer works at updating businesses and citizens about current crime
trends. During the year several fan-outs and one-on-one meetings were completed warning
potential victims. Thefts from unlocked motor vehicles continued to be a crime trend in 2012 so
public education on properly securing vehicles was a key focus throughout the year. The Camrose
Canadian and the Camrose Booster published articles at different times throughout the year
warning citizens to ensure they are securing their vehicles. These articles highlighted the “All
Valuables Removed” program that the Alberta Motor Association and the Camrose Crime
Prevention Officer promote. This issue was also discussed during a video interview that aired on
Community 10 Television.
Other local criminal occurrences in 2012 that the Crime Prevention Officer strived to increase
public and business awareness of included the following: razor thefts from Superstore, thefts of
prescription medications from local pharmacies, thefts from Shoppers Drug Mart locations,
Augustana neighborhood disorderly behavior, and coin operated laundry machine thefts. Each of
2012 Annual Report

CRIME PREVENTION/COMMUNITY RELATIONS
these crime issues were identified based on local occurrences and the Crime Prevention Officer
used various forms of proactive and educational approaches to help prevent further crime from
occurring. Often businesses and citizens were warned in various ways of the criminal activity and
provided prevention techniques so they could better protect themselves. Providing education to
our citizens on how to better protect themselves can also help solve crime, citizens are taught
what to watch for so they can possibly spot a crime while it is occurring and take the necessary
steps to notify the Police.
In 2012 Cst. Wilton continued to utilize his training in Crime Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED). The CPTED philosophy recognizes that we, as a community, can design our
public and private places in ways that prevent criminal activity. Simple alterations to buildings
and residences can make the life of a criminal more difficult and possibly even prevent crime
from occurring. Throughout the year Cst. Wilton spoke to numerous businesses and citizens
about CPTED techniques and he provided various recommendations on the CPTED elements to
business owners and residential home owners.
The Crime Prevention Unit continues to work closely with the Camrose
and District Victim Services Unit by acting as a liaison between the
Victim Service Unit and the Police Service. The Victim Services Unit is
a police based community service that is run out of the Camrose Police
Service Office. Their motto is Support, Inform and Refer and their goal
is to make sure all victims of crime and tragedy have access to all
available resources and services that are within our community and
province. The Crime Prevention Officer provided assistance to the unit
by: interviewing new applicants for both the board and advocate positions, attending all the board
and advocate meetings, assisting in the fundraising events for the unit to help them secure their
year-to year funding, and giving feedback to the unit. The Crime Prevention Officer also assists
the Victim Services Coordinator and Advocates by acting as their direct resource to provide them
with any needed information and advice. The Victim Service Unit is a key part of the high level
of service that the Camrose Police Service provides to the citizens of our community. Currently
there are 15 fully trained advocates including two that are crossed trained to provide Red Cross
Services. There is also a board comprised of eight volunteer board members who govern the unit
and work to ensure unit funding. The Camrose Victim Services Unit provides immediate
assistance to victims along with follow up services on an on-call basis 24 hours a day, 365 days
of the year.
The Crime Prevention Unit also acts as the liaison between the
Camrose and District Crime Stoppers Board and the Police
Service. Duties include processing the tips that come to the
service, attending board meetings, collaborating with the board,
and assisting in the planning for any Crime Stoppers awareness

events. The Crime Stoppers program continues to be successful in providing information on
crimes and encouraging tips from the public.
The Business Watch Program continued providing updates on crime trends
and recent scams to the Camrose businesses that take part in the program.
Business Watch allows the Crime Prevention Officer to quickly
disseminate information to business on the recent crimes that are occurring
in Camrose and the surrounding areas. The purpose is to provide the
participating businesses with knowledge of current criminal activity and
scams to prevent our local businesses from becoming victims. During 2012
several email fan-outs were sent to the participating businesses.
The Wise Owl program continued in 2012 to educate the public on the frauds and scams that
affect our community. The Wise Owls are dedicated to the interests of older age citizens and the
crimes that specifically target them. The Wise Owl’s promote early prevention so that our citizens
don’t become victims of these ever increasing crimes. A multitude of fraud
awareness presentations were given around Camrose to various business and
other community groups. The local media including the Camrose Canadian, the
Camrose Booster, and Community 10 Television were utilized to provide fraud
awareness tips throughout the year. A brochure was also made that highlights
the common scams that our citizens have fallen victim to. The brochure warns
people about these scams so they can recognize a scam before they fall victim
by sending money or personal information. These brochures were handed out at
several locations throughout Camrose and are available as a resource for all
Camrose Police Officers.
The Camrose Police Service co-hosted the sixth annual Charity Checkstop in December with the
Camrose RCMP and Camrose Victim Services. The Charity Checkstop is an all day event that
relies on volunteer commitment from the Police Members as well as advocates and board
members of Victim Services. The event collected over 2,000 lbs of food and $1,000 in cash and
gift card donations for the Camrose Food Bank; over 1,111 toys and $1,000 in cash and gift card
donations for the Camrose Kinettes Silent Santa program; and $8,500 in cash donations to the
Camrose Victim Services. The Charity Checkstop also provided a great opportunity to promote
community relations with the public and promoted interagency cooperation with the Camrose
RCMP. The Camrose Kodiaks came out again to the event for the second year to volunteer their
time and show their support to the abovementioned charities.
Family violence prevention month was held again in November and the volunteers of the Family
Violence Action Society continued their annual November campaign to raise public awareness
about the frequency of family violence. This program is titled the Red Silhouette Campaign and it
involved red painted silhouettes of women and children that were placed in popular locations
throughout Camrose. These silhouettes had family violence statistics and information posted

on their chest. The Crime Prevention Officer has continued to attend the Family Violence Action
Society meetings and also sits on the Family Violence Response Council to assist the two groups
in whatever means needed. In 2012 Cst. Wilton sat on a committee of other family violence
stakeholders who worked together to develop elder abuse protocols for the City of Camrose.
These protocols have now been completed and training dates have been set for 2013 to teach the
protocols to community members who interact with our city’s elderly population. These protocols
and subsequent training will also help raise awareness to the issue of elder abuse so it can be
better recognized and prevented.
During 2012 a relationship with the Camrose Special Olympics was re-established with the
Camrose Police Service through the role of the Crime Prevention Officer. This working
relationship was launched to help support our local Special Olympics in their fundraising efforts
by utilizing the assistance of uniformed Police Members. The relationship also allowed officers to
have several different interactions with Special Olympic Athletes throughout the year. In 2012
two different fundraising events were co-organized by Special Olympics and the Crime
Prevention Officer. A member of the service also attended a Special Olympic award ceremony to
help present the awards to the athletes.
Other community events such as Tim Horton’s Camp Day, McHappy Days, Dairy Queen
Blizzard Day, the Grey Cup Event, Father’s Day Fun Fest, the Family Day Event, Big Valley
Jamboree Parade, AMA School Safety Event, the banner raising at the Augustana Vikings season
opening game, the Sparling School Remembrance Day Ceremony, the Camrose Festival of Trees
Teddy Bear Disco, and the AMA Shredding Event were all attended by the Crime Prevention
Officer in 2012. These events allowed him to create positive public relations with members of our
community and showed our citizens that the Camrose Police Service supports our local
businesses and community groups.
The Crime Prevention Unit is a critical component in maintaining a strong working relationship
with several community groups in Camrose. This is demonstrated through the regular meetings
that are attended by the Crime Prevention Officer. The networking and information gained from
these meetings is invaluable to the Police Service as it is recognized that prevention is the key to
lowering crime. The Crime Prevention Officer has also been available to assist any individuals
that require information about crime and prevention techniques. To be successful, a modern
police service must recognize that crime prevention is a community effort where we all work
together in a partnership towards maintaining a safe community. The various volunteers of the
crime prevention programs that work with the Camrose Police Service are an essential component
of the unit’s success. The Camrose Police Service would like to thank all of our volunteers for
their service and dedication. These volunteers help benefit our community through the countless
hours that they volunteer for the many programs that the Camrose Police Service offers.

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER/D.A.R.E. PROGRAMS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION
In 2012, the program celebrated its 15th successful year in the community. Each of the elementary and
junior high schools in Camrose were involved in the D.A.R.E. program. A total of approximately 600
students participated in the D.A.R.E. program, 200 grade 3 students, 200 grade 6 students, and 200 grade 8
students. Grade 3 students receive five classes of DARE instruction, including topics such as personal
safety, bullying, and drug awareness. Grade 6 and grade 8 students receive ten classes of DARE
instruction.
At the conclusion of the grade 6 program, an essay is required from the students. The essay is a personal
initiative to make wise choices regarding friendships, drugs, alcohol and tobacco. This provides feedback
as to their knowledge and understanding of the course content. After reviewing the essays the majority of
students were able to interpret the lessons of the program, and state how it will help improve their lives.
The Grade 8 students are now receiving a new D.A.R.E. curriculum. The program is titled Keeping It
Real and is based on the acronym R.E.A.L. (refuse, explain, avoid, leave) which represents the four main
strategies used to get out of tough situations involving drugs, violence and peer pressure. This new
program comes with a homework booklet that challenges the students to apply the information they learn
in class to their daily life. There are 5 videos included in the program which demonstrate real teens and
what strategies they have used in real situations. Student who received this curriculum indicated they
enjoy the videos and activities provided in the lessons. A final review is taken at the end of the course to
determine how well the students have understood the main concepts taught in the course.
The D.A.R.E. program was designed to, and continues to represent a large percentage of the health
curriculum required by Alberta Learning at the grade levels where D.A.R.E is taught.
