Operation Cold Start
Beaumont RCMP will be conducting proactive patrols in the community to seek out idling vehicles left unattended. This is a proactive initiative to educate community members about risks associated with leaving vehicles idling. “Alberta has the highest per capita auto theft rate in the country, and approximately 25 per cent of those vehicles are stolen while idling with the keys in the vehicle,” explained RCMP Superintendent Mike McCauley of the Community Safety and Wellbeing Branch. “This drives up insurance rates for these crimes. During the project, this educational component will ideally change Albertan’s habits. It is a small investment tackling one of the root causes of this crime.”
