Members of the Edmonton Police Service Child

Protection Section are releasing ETS security

surveillance images in the hopes of identifying a male

suspect in connection with a sexual assault.

At approximately 10:18 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2010 police

dispatch received a call from Edmonton Transit Services

reporting an incident which had just occurred. They

reported a lone 12-year-old female got onto an ETS bus

No. 8 near 59 Street and 118 Avenue. The girl was

approached by an adult male passenger, who allegedly

began speaking with her before reaching out and

allegedly touching her inappropriately several times.

Police learned the suspect first got on the bus at 9:15

a.m. at 86 Street and 61 Avenue.

The suspect immediately exited the bus after being

confronted by the driver about his behaviour towards the

young girl. He was last seen walking along 118 Avenue,

near 47 Street. Officers were immediately called to the

area, but could not locate the suspect.

The suspect is described as a dark-skinned male in his

20’s, approximately 5’7” and 130 lbs., with a thin build.

He was clean shaven, and was wearing a white ski jacket

with grey patches, with a white Hoody underneath. He

was also wearing blue jeans and a grey tuque.

If you recognize the suspect or have any information

about what occurred on the bus, you are asked to call

police at 780-423-4567

Peace Regional (Peace River) RCMP responded to a

report of a break and enter that had occurred at Kenry

Electric, situated at 9717 90th avenue in Peace River,

Alberta.

Investigation revealed that security cameras had

captured the incident, which occurred at approximately

male and one female suspect had forcibly entered the

business by breaking through a glass door. Once inside,

left approximately 2 minutes later, apparently failing to

abscond with any items. A stereo system in the office

appeared to have been damaged during the incident.

The female suspect is described as being between 25

and 35 years of age, with medium coloured hair, sporting

a white, long sleeved shirt and jeans. The male suspect is

described as being between 25 and 35 years of age, with

medium coloured skin and a shaved head, sporting blue

jeans and an easily recognizable red “Polaris” racing

jacket.

Peace Regional RCMP are seeking the public’s

assistance in identifying the suspects pictured in the

security footage. (Photographs attached). If you have

information on this, or any other crime, contact the Peace

River RCMP Detachment at 780-624-6677.

been actively investigating since the information was

first given to them. Investigators are determining

what potential links exist, if any between all events.

Tabler says, “We are concerned that these incidents

aren’t isolated ones. We are hoping that there are

people who witnessed events and will come forward.

They need to know any little piece of the story may

be helpful in solving these events.”

We need information from the public to assist us in

catching this suspect or suspects. What is also

critical is the information we obtain from

complainants. Due to the number of bus routes that

exist, it is absolutely critical that the victims in these

cases note the bus number, time of travel, direction

of travel and any other route information.

Background:

First incident – January 12 at 3:00 p.m. on a bus

traveling Northbound on 111 Street between 43 and

48 Avenue. The complainant was a 15-year-old

female.

Second Incident - January 18 at 3:15 p.m. on a bus

travelling Northbound on 111 Street between 43 and

48 Avenue. The complainant was a 15-year-old

female.

Third Incident - January 20 at 6:00 p.m. on a

connecting bus on Southside route #17. The

complainant was a 24-year-old woman.

Police have obtained this image of a suspect in one

of the incidents from one of the complainants on her

cell phone camera.

Anyone with information which may assist Police

are asked to call the complaint line at 780-423-4567

or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Update:Thanks to all media outlets for their coverage

concerning the sexual touching incidents. An arrest

has been made in connection with these incidents.

However, the person is NOT the one pictured in the

image that was obtained from the cellphone camera

shots. Police are still looking for that individual.

However, the arrest is in relation to the latest

incident which occurred January 20th at 6:00 p.m.

At approximately 6:30 p.m. Friday night (January

22nd) Southwest Division officers arrested 52-year-

old Rajinder Prashad Kaul at the Southgate bus

terminal. He is being charged in relation to the third

incident which involved a 24-year-old woman. Kaul

has been charged with count of sexual assault.

West Division detectives are

investigating an early-morning assault

on a cab driver.

At approximately 3:50 a.m. on Dec. 1,

2009, a cab driver picked up a lone male

at 154 Street and Stony Plain Road. The

male asked to be taken to an industrial

area west of the city and then back into

Edmonton. After several stops, the cab

driver dropped off the male at 124 Street

and 116 Avenue. The suspect then

demanded money and allegedly

threatened the driver with a small knife.

Despite being injured, the cab driver was

able to fight off the suspect and escape.

The suspect then allegedly drove off in

the taxi, which was recovered in the

west end later this morning.

Police are looking for a male suspect,

who is described as possibly Native and

30 years old, of average height and with

a stocky build.

West Division detectives continue to

investigate.

senseless acts of vandalism with no reports of theft.

Considerable damage was caused to the three businesses

and the vehicles that were targeted . Damage to the

vehicles include: broken taillights, smashed windows and

windshields and in one instance, a fire extinguisher was

discharged inside one of the vandalized vehicles.

Investigators have obtained some current information

that a group of youths were either directly involved in or

witnessed these incidents.

Everyone who is familiar with their neighbourhood

knows when someone or something is out of the

ordinary, or when someone is acting suspicious. RCMP

strongly encourage anyone who becomes aware of such

activities, regardless of nature, to report any incident that

they feel is out of the ordinary. Such calls are not a waste

of time or resources for RCMP officers. As in the earlier

mentioned case where charges arose from a tip, RCMP

investigators strongly believe that it takes citizen’s co-

operation along with police resources to keep our

community safe from these reckless acts of vandalism

that end up affecting everyone through rising insurance

rates.

Anyone with any information that may assist

investigators is encouraged to contact Bonnyville

Arson extortion case in Edmonton featuredon America'sMost Wantedprogram

16 Police Newsmagazine

Detective Rob Paton with Robbery Section says,

“Having this kind of a net cast can’t help but assist

in locating this fugitive so that he can face these

charges in Canada.”

Paton says there is still a $25,000 reward

outstanding that the Edmonton Police Commission

has offered up in relation to this case. It is hoped it

will lead to the arrest of 25-year-old Christopher

David Meer. The Edmonton Police Service along

with RCMP, U.S. Marshals, and Border Services

have been involved in this investigation since 2007.

It has involved multiple suspects and crosses several

jurisdictions.

BACKGROUND:The investigation dates back to March 2007 when

officers began looking into a possible connection

between three arsons in the Edmonton and Pigeon

Lake areas. Two fires in South Edmonton (November

2007, and December 2007) and a third in Pigeon

Lake (March 2007) were all included in the

investigation. Officers soon learned that they were

dealing with a situation that extended far beyond

three isolated arsons. Over the course of the

investigation it was learned that five individuals, all

from Alberta, allegedly used intimidation, fear and

violence to affect several of their business and

personal relationships in the province.

Investigators can reveal two people were charged

and have since pled guilty and were sentenced to a

federal penitentiary. Two others are awaiting trial.

EPS Police are still looking for 25-year-old

Christopher David Meer and warrants have been

issued. Meer was profiled on the Fox television

show America’s Most Wanted. It is suspected that

Meer may have altered his appearance since this

picture was taken.

Christopher David Meer

25-years-old, White male, 135lbs, 5’9” tall, Brown

eyes, Brown hair with blonde highlights

The arson extortion case remains under

investigation, and officers are asking anyone who

may have had dealings with the accused, or know the

whereabouts of the suspect still at large, to contact

them at 423-4567.

WANTED MAN

18 Police Newsmagazine

Edmonton Police Service investigators are asking for

the public’s assistance in identifying a man who may

have information about an incident where a significant

amount money was stolen from a woman in the parking

lot of West Edmonton Mall last summer.

During the morning of Wednesday, July 29, 2009, a

woman in her 50s was transporting cash between a bank

and her place of employment at West Edmonton Mall.

She left the bank on 170 Street and 100 Avenue with cash

and returned to West Edmonton Mall where she obtained

more cash from a financial institution. Around 11:30

a.m., she returned to her vehicle and discovered she had a

flat tire. A male approached her and allegedly insisted on

helping. The offer was allegedly refused and after the

male left, the woman discovered that her purse

containing several thousands of dollars was missing from

inside her car and that her tire had been slashed.

Investigating officers are considering the possibility

that she was followed as she made her way to the various

locations that day.

The above images were taken from surveillance

footage at the bank she visited earlier that morning.

The male in the picture is not believed to be the one who

offered her assistance with her car, but officers would

like to identify and speak to the male about what he may

or may not have seen at the bank that day.

Anyone with information about the unidentified male is

asked to contact the Edmonton Police Service non-

emergency line at 780-423-4567.

West Division detectives are hoping the public can help

them identify a person in connection with a number of

thefts from autos in several west-end communities.

An image from a surveillance

camera in a parkade is being

released to help identify the

following male subject who police

believe may be involved with these

events:

The communities of Hudson,

Pembina, Cumberland and

Wellington - which are part of EPS

West Division - have seen the

highest increase in incidents.

During the last 30 days, there were

36 occurrences of thefts from autos

in the four neighbourhoods.

Vehicles parked on the street and

within locked parkades are being

targeted. Windows are being

smashed and door locks punched.

Loose change, visible merchandise and

registration/insurance slips are being targeted. Most of

the incidents are occurring at night time, between

midnight and 6 a.m.

“The police continue to be

frustrated with the public for not

removing articles of value from

their vehicles,” says Staff Sgt.

Dale Fenrich, of West Division

CIS Unit. “We encourage the

public to be more vigilant by

ensuring only legitimate persons

are let into enclosed parkades.”

Anyone who observes a

suspicious person prowling

around parked cars is encouraged

to call police at 780-423-4567.

As those involved in property crime offences continue

to ply their trade, the Edmonton Police Service along

with Belgravia Crime Watch, and residents of Belgravia

are coming together to use technology to help protect

valuable assets through the Operation Hands Off property

identification program.

In an effort to help reduce thefts

whether they may be wire, metal,

car parts or anything of value,

businesses and consumers alike

can avail themselves of

technology in the Canadian

market place. Applied by a brush

or spray applicator,

MicroDotDNA can be applied to

just about any surface only to be

seen with a magnifying device.

Each MicroDotDNA has a

unique number series embedded

on it which can be traced back to

an individual or company. Being sprayed or brushed on a

surface, dozens to thousands of these dots can be used to

mark and identify all manner of products, making it

much like a name tag with numbers. North American

utility companies have seen significant reduction in the

theft of tools and metal since the inception of this

program three years ago and

local companies such as

EPCOR and PCL have also

had very positive results.

Armed with this type of

technology, law enforcement

agencies will now be able to

not only track, but provide

absolute identification of a

piece of property making it

easier to not only identify

victims but also to show to the

courts who the rightful owner

actually is.

On November 20th, 2009, Canada Border Service

Agency (CBSA) at Toronto International Airport

examined a package being shipped from Panama to a

Fort MacMurray address, believed to have contained

approximately 12 kilograms of cocaine.

On November 25th, 2009 RCMP Edmonton Drug

Section in collaboration with Canada Border Services

Agency, Fort McMurray RCMP, and Edmonton

Integrated Proceeds of Crime initiated an investigation

and acting on the strength of a judicially authorized

search warrant seized evidence supporting grounds to

charge Sinday Paola SAIBIS-RODRIGUEZ, age 20 of

Fort MacMurray with two offences under the Controlled

Drugs and Substances Act:

- Importation of cocaine, and

- Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.

SAIBIS-RODRIGUEZ was remanded in custody to

appear in Fort McMurray Provincial Court on December

8th, 2009.

This seizure of 12 kilograms of cocaine, the largest

volume of this illicit drug seized in relation to a Fort

McMurray investigation, illustrates the importance of the

RCMP working in partnership with CBSA in addressing

the production, importation, distribution, sales, and use of

illegal drugs. This amount of cocaine could have resulted

in distribution or sales of approximately 240,000 casual

use doses of this illicit and harmful drug. Illegal drug

activities impact every aspect of our communities:

business, commerce and trade; family life. Personal

safety and development, along with health care and

professional services are negatively impacted.

EPS West Division is releasing surveillance images in

hopes of identifying a suspect in connection with several

thefts in Edmonton.

In the last few weeks, a rash of thefts has occurred at

several city swimming pools, arenas and fitness facilities.

Locks on lockers are typically cut off and personal items

are taken from the locker, especially wallets. On more

than one occasion, the suspect has used the stolen credit

cards to purchase goods – laptop computers in particular

- at London Drugs and Future Shop stores. The purchases

have amounted to thousands of dollars.

Several RCMP detachments in Alberta have also been

looking for the same suspect for thefts and frauds in St.

Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont and Red Deer.

The suspect is a Caucasian male, approximately

5’10”, 180 lbs., wearing a black ball cap with a white

logo and sunglasses propped on top. He was also

wearing white sneakers, and a red and black winter

jacket.

If you recognize the suspect or have any

information about his whereabouts, please call police

A 37-year-old man has been charged with several

offences after the vehicle he was allegedly driving struck

a police officer.

Shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2, Downtown

Division officers attempted to pull over a Pontiac Grand

Am containing a male and female occupant. Despite

emergency lights being activated, the suspect vehicle

fled, striking the police vehicle in the process. The car

was followed to 250 Avenue and 34 Street where it came

to a stop. As officers approached the vehicle on foot it

accelerated toward one of the officers, striking the officer

and sending him over the hood and onto the ground.

Shots were fired at the suspect vehicle which continued

to drive away. A criminal flight from police ensued as the

Grand Am headed north out of the city. Air-1 took over

the criminal flight and requested assistance from RCMP

who deployed a spike belt. The vehicle pulled over and

the female passenger exited, but the car fled again. The

vehicle became disabled after running over the spike belt

and came to a stop in a field near Redwater. The RCMP

Emergency Response Team was called in and the suspect

was eventually taken into custody.

The EPS officer who was struck by the vehicle

received soft tissue injuries to his legs.

Jason Ronald Kult, 37, was charged with criminal hitand run, criminal flight from police causing bodily harm,assault a peace officer with a weapon, dangerousdriving, unlawful confinement, breach of probation, andfour counts of breach of recognizance.

year-old girl allegedly assaulted an elderly man and

attempted to steal his vehicle. Jason and Steve removed

the teens from the vehicle while Shannon called police.

Shannon and Steve attended to the victim and Adam

recorded the plate number of the vehicle which assisted

in the police investigation. Jason and Shannon followed

the teens as they ran into a nearby store and allegedly

brandished knives from the shelves. Jason struggled

with the male teen, resulting in one of the knives

skidding along the floor. Roy witnessed the situation

inside the store and with the assistance of Shannon

they were able to get the knife out of the girl’s hand.

her way to the passenger side of the first vehicle where

she found one seriously injured officer; she located the

other seriously injured officer nearby. She radioed for

assistance and, because of the remote location, drove to

a road where ambulances and other police officers

could find her. She then directed them to the location.

Unfortunately the two officers succumbed to their

injuries in the days following the incident.

Don Morrison of Dutch Valley, NB, received a

Bronze Medal for Bravery for his swift and heroic

actions in saving a pilot from a burning helicopter on

May 24, 2008 near Norman Wells, NWT. The

helicopter with three occupants started spinning and

struck the ground as it approached a landing site. Don

was able to remove his seatbelt, kick out a window, and

exit. Despite heat from the flames, Don grabbed the

pilot and removed her from the wreckage. He

attempted to assist the other passenger, but the

helicopter became fully engulfed. Fearing an explosion,

he then moved the pilot a safer distance away. Don was

able to contact a coworker who then contacted

emergency responders. The pilot was taken to hospital

for treatment of a back injury and Don was treated and

released.

Patrick O’Connor, of Calgary, AB, was on vacation

in Panama City, Florida, on April 11, 2009, when he

noticed a teenage boy and a man in a sea kayak about

100 metres away in the water during a time of high surf

and strong undertows. Neither was wearing a life jacket

when their kayak overturned. The man began to yell for

help as he held onto the boy. Despite ‘red flag

conditions’, Patrick and another man went into the

water to assist. They used the kayak to provide

buoyancy and approached the unresponsive boy and

man who was repeatedly going under the water. They

placed the boy on the kayak and helped the man hang

on to it while they approached the shore. Another man

and woman performed CPR until help arrived.

Unfortunately the boy passed away two days later, but

the man survived. He received a Bronze Medal for

Bravery.

Jonas Servage, of Edmonton, received a Bronze

Medal for Bravery for saving another person from a

vicious attack at a downtown Edmonton LRT station on

January 2, 2008. Jonas entered the station and saw a

15-year-old female attacking a woman on the LRT

platform. He dropped his duffle bag and pulled the girl

off. The teen allegedly stole the woman’s purse and got

onto a train that had just pulled up. Jonas called

security on the emergency help phone and followed the

girl onto the train and pushed the emergency stop

button to prevent it from going anywhere. In the

meantime, three males who had gotten off the train

picked up Jonas’s duffle bag and walked away.

Arriving security guards and officers arrested not only

the girl, but also the three males who took the duffle

bag.

James and Tom Wanyandie of Grande Cache, AB,

received Bronze Medals for Bravery for their

courageous actions in saving each other in a life-

threatening situation. On June 6, 2009, James and his

78-year-old father Tom were searching for moose

antlers while walking in the wilderness near Prairie

Creek when they were charged by a grizzly bear. James

fired his rifle at her, but she grabbed him by the arm

and shook him. Tom jammed his walking stick into the

bear’s mouth but she grabbed him by the arm and

knocked him to the ground. James jabbed at the bear

with his rifle and she again turned on him, dragging

him by the leg several feet. Tom managed to get up and

yell as loud as he could and finally the bear ran away.

Both men suffered broken arms, bite marks, and

scratches, but saved each other’s lives.

Kelley McConnell of Edmonton received an

Honorary Testimonial Certificate for his presence of

called 911, Kelley made his way down the steep

disoriented driver to safety and with the assistance of

another bystander, pulled the injured passenger out of

the vehicle and up the hill.

Police were able to obtain a more detailed description of a

male suspect who approached three young girls in a school

yard on Monday, Jan. 11. Investigators are hoping the

additional information will help identify the individual.

The information provided includes: fair skinned, possibly

wearing glasses, with brown eyes, unshaven and with dark

brown hair. His jacket was waist length and two-tone blue,

with four pockets on the front. The muskrat-style hat was

dark brown. His blue jeans had holes on the knees and he

may have been wearing dark boots. The suspect smelled of

cigarettes and was possibly carrying a black or dark green

fabric grocery bag.

Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call

the EPS complaint line at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at

1-800-222-8477.

Background:

EPS West Division officers are looking for information about

a male who approached three young girls yesterday

afternoon.

Around 2 p.m., on Monday, Jan. 11, 2010, an unknown male

suspect walked into a school yard at 90 Avenue and 182

Street, where he approached three five-year-old girls during a

recess break. The male allegedly offered to take the three girls

to West Edmonton Mall and buy them candy. When a nearby

teacher from the school noticed the male suspect, she called

the students in, at which time the suspect quickly walked

away. He was seen walking in the direction of 178 Street and

90 Avenue.

The suspect is described as a Caucasian male in his mid to

late 20s, approximately 5’8” and of medium build. He was

wearing a blue zipped-up coat, blue jeans and a dark-coloured

muskrat-style hat with the ear flaps down.

“Parents are encouraged to remind their children not to speak

with strangers and to seek out an adult if they are approached

by a stranger,” says Sgt. Alex Hasham of West Division. “In

this case, the teacher’s quick actions possibly prevented the

situation from escalating any further.”

The Results are in from the 2009 ChristmasCHECKSTOP Motorists Blowing Well Over Legal LimitWhile there hasn’t been a spike in the number of impaired

drivers on the road, there is something that has emerged that is

disturbing. According to members of the alcohol breath testing

detail those that are being pulled over are blowing well in

excess of the legal limit.

Sgt. Aubrey Zalaski of the Specialized Traffic Operations Unit

says, “The amount of alcohol present in the drivers that were

apprehended during this year’s Checkstop campaign was 11.5

per cent higher than seen five years ago. We also saw a

significant increase in the number of drug impaired drivers

apprehended in 2009. It is hard to imagine that these impaired

drivers were out on the road that is shared by people we know

and care about.”

The following statistics have been compiled since the 2009

Checkstop campaign was launched on Wednesday, November

4. These combined statistics include both the official

On January 19, 2010, at approximately 6:30 p.m.,

The Albert Sheriff Apprehension Unit, with the

assistance of Albert RCMP General Investigation

Section, and Edmonton Police Service’s Tactical

address, was arrested on Canada Wide Warrants

from Hamilton, Ontario. Hadi was arrested without

about his location.

The St. Albert RCMP were pursuing investigative

leads as Hadi is a person of interest in an attempted

robbery which occurred in St. Albert on January 10,

2010. RCMP were called to a house party at

approximately 3:40 a.m. on that date, where a 37

year old male resident of St. Albert had sustained

injuries as a result an interaction with 4 people who

attended the party univited. This was an isolated

incident. The RCMP investigation into this incident

is ongoing and charges are pending.

Hadi is currently being held pending a judicial

hearing to arrange for his transport back to

Hamilton, Ontario where he will be held to answer

to his Ontario charges. Hadi was wanted on

warrants for one charge of Assisting in an escape

contrary to Section 147(a) of the Criminal Code

and one charge of Breach of Probation contrary to

Section 733(1) contrary to the Criminal Code. If

Hadi is found guilty of the Ontario offences, he

could be potentially incarcerated for a substantial

period of time, thus not returning to Alberta for quite

some time.

Any questions in relation to the warrant or charges

from Hamilton should be directed to Hamilton

Police Service.

Homicide detectives along with Southwest Division

officers are investigating a suspicious death in

Edmonton’s west end.

Around 8:45 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 12, police were

contacted by staff of the Beth Israel Synagogue on Wolf

Willow Road after they discovered the body of what

appears to be an adult male on the grounds surrounding

the building.

“The death is being treated as suspicious at this time,”

says Homicide Section Staff Sergeant Lorne Pubantz. “It

is too early in the investigation to determine the

circumstances surrounding the death.”

Officers will remain at the scene throughout the day.

Further information may be released following the

autopsy.

If anyone saw suspicious activity in the area over

the past few days, they are asked to contact police on

the non-emergency line at 780-423-4567.

West End death ruled homicideOfficers continue to investigate the circumstances

surrounding the death of a male near Wolf Willow Road

in Edmonton’s west end. At this point the EPS is able to

confirm that the victim suffered apparent gun shot

injuries and the death is now being ruled a homicide.

The autopsy on 21-year-old Abdulaziz Osman Isse is

scheduled for this afternoon. Isse is originally from

eastern Canada and was not known to the Edmonton

Police Service. He is not considered to be homeless.

Gang and drug section officers have been notified but a

gang or drug connection has not been confirmed. Any

connection to previous homicides in Edmonton has not

been established at this time. At this point there appears

to be no connection to the synagogue near where the

body was found.

Suspiciousdeath under investigation

On November 6, 2009 Mayor Stephen Mandel, EPS Inspector

Darren Eastcott and Constable Ryan Kachur handed out the

first citation to a junior high school student under a new

positive ticketing program called B.R.A.G (Because of a

Random Act of Goodwill).

Twelve-year-old Londonderry Junior High School Student,

Sydney Nguyen was ticketed for always offering her assistance

to others at her school, encouraging her peers and sharing a

contagious enthusiasm for life. The ‘B.R.A.G.’ Citation

program rewards kind and responsible behaviour, and creates

opportunities for meaningful and positive interaction between

youth and police.

“This program is one more way for our police officers to

connect with the youth they meet every day and create

opportunities to reinforce positive personal and social

behaviours,” said Inspector Darren Eastcott. “Thanking our

youth for their good deeds and demonstrating we value the

difference they make in our communities only takes a minute,

but the results may have an impact throughout their lifetime.”

Each B.R.A.G. Citation includes a free admission pass to any

City of Edmonton leisure, sports and fitness facility. Funding

for the B.R.A.G program is provided by the Edmonton Police

Foundation.

“We’re proud to highlight the good deeds of youth in

Edmonton with programs like B.R.A.G. By rewarding good

deeds with these citations, we are focusing on the positive

rather than the punitive,” said Mayor Stephen Mandel.

“Acknowledging that positive actions lead to positive outcomes

will encourage a ripple affect that will see Edmonton become

an even better city. Congratulations to EPS for this innovative

program.”

The simplest acts of kindness and goodwill can be recognized

through a B.R.A.G. Citation, including but not limited to:

Wearing a helmet while biking, obeying rules of the road

• Standing up for a friend

• Reporting a stolen bike

• Volunteering in the community

• Helping someone in trouble

• Assisting a senior citizen

• Doing the right thing!

During 2009 RCMP Serious Crimes Branch investigated

39 homicides in RCMP jurisdictions throughout Alberta.

In 2008, RCMP conducted 53

homicide investigations. Of the 39 homicides, 32 are

considered to be solved, providing a current clearance

rate of 82%.

The RCMP investigates suspicious deaths as homicides

even when the circumstances do not provide direct

evidence of a homicide, at the time

of the occurrence. In cases involving suspicious deaths

the Medical Examiner is responsible for a number of key

factors including the positive identification of the

deceased along with determining the manner and cause

of death. While law enforcement agencies treat

suspicious deaths as homicide investigations, it is the

Medical Examiner who is responsible for classifying a

death as a homicide. RCMP investigators utilize major

case management principles, a proven investigational

technique used to ensure that no aspects of evidence or

potential witnesses are overlooked, when investigating

suspicious deaths.

In 2009, the RCMP identified 16 of the 39 homicides

resulted from domestic violence. This included a wide

range of family relationships well beyond the context of

intimate partners. Of the 39 homicides in 2009, six

deaths involved an intimate partner relationship.

Circumstances lead investigators to believe all six were a

result of a man killing his spouse or intimate partner. In

2008, RCMP also investigated six intimate partner

homicides where it is believed that three men killed their

partners and three women also killed their partners.

Additionally, 12 of the 2009 homicides involved persons

who would be described as known to or an acquaintance

of the deceased.

The RCMP’s Serious Crimes Branch is responsible for

providing either a lead investigative role or support role

in homicide investigations occurring in RCMP policed

jurisdictions throughout the province. Investigators also

work closely with our various policing partners when

circumstances afford the opportunity to provide

assistance, or to share skills and resources. In 2009, the

branch was comprised of investigators situated

throughout the province in various Major Crimes Units,

provincial and municipal General Investigation Sections

and Project KARE.

In 2009, as Alberta’s Provincial Police Service and in

some communities the Municipal Police Service, RCMP

“K” Division served a largely rural population of about

1,621,457 people or 44.6% of the Alberta population.

Police have identified and questioned a male suspect who

was spotted talking with three young girls in the Belmead

school yard.

A CARRT member patrolling the school area on Monday,

Jan. 18 noticed a male who fit a very detailed description

released to the public on Jan. 13, 2010. The male was

seen walking on a path in the area of 178 Street and 90

Avenue around 2 p.m.

The 65-year-old man was detained for questioning but

the evidence obtained didn’t meet the requirement for

criminal charges. However, the male will be banned from

all school properties.

“Our officers were able to identify this man thanks to the

very good descriptions and the astute work by a CARRT

member,” says Sgt. Alex Hasham. “Although we weren’t

able to lay charges, this individual is now on our radar.”
