One reason why the RCMP take so long to respond

So, what's the point of having an alarm at all ?????? RCMP is turning into a statistics keeping bureau, nothing more.

15,500 false alarms is not an insignificant stat. And that does not include Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge, Med. Hat, not sure who polices Red Deer.

Hello, 911 ? Alarm went off in my business and no one responded. Went out with the 12 gauge to verify. Please have the cops come by and pick up the body.  That's what it boils down to.

Why don't people just buy the kind of security systems that notify cell
& bypass this stupidity of having the police invainly showing up?

This is a huge problem for fire departments also.
At least our town bills the home owner for false alarms but that doesn't seem to working as much of a deterrent.

My alarm company has on file that I own firearms and which zone they are located in. This alone should be enough to flip the Cherry’s on and get at er but who knows it may not matter to the police these days given the stats lol

Looking at the crime stats, I'm not sure anyone is policing Red Deer.

Well I had an interesting thing today. Got a call to a house fire. When we arrived the house was broken into. Home owner said he was scared and figured the cops would not respond quick so he called in a fire! Back door was smashed in and guy was scared good. Cops showed up about 15 min later to handle the case..

I still have some faith in the police. It's the judicial system I have problems with.
About an hour ago, 2:30 AM, I went on my balcony for a quick cigarette and I noticed someone breaking into one car in our parking lot. 2 minutes later he is trying to break into my car. I called the EPS and they were there within 3 minutes and did catch the perp. He had a suitcase full of goods stolen from a few vehicles tonight. Hopefully the police will at least keep him for a couple hours and the stolen goods get returned.

Anything that does not produce revenue or result in a positive image photo op gets moved farther down the priority list. Really time to look at a provincial police force.
