Fort McMurray Unveils New Gang Unit

Fort McMurray's gangs and organized crime will soon face a formidable foe. The Wood Buffalo RCMP detachment in Timberlea will be home to the recently announced serious and organized crime unit through the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams. "ALERT is an integrated policing model that is strongly supported by the government, as well as all the partner agencies and ALERT is made up of RCMP personnel and members of various municipal police services," said Insp. Bob Simmonds, who is in charge of the Fort McMurray enforcement team. ALERT was started by the Alberta government in 2006 with the aim to investigate and take down serious criminal activity like drug trafficking networks, marijuana grow operations, street-level gang activity and larger organized crime groups. Fort McMurray has faced a number of what RCMP deem "drug-related" crimes. In February, there was a double homicide which saw two men gunned down in a Haineault Street apartment — while the men were "known to police," it has not been confirmed as a drug crime, but it's proof enough of the problems in town. "It's pretty obvious when you're having double homicides and serious assaults that there are causes to those types of activities (and) situations, and we're hoping and expecting obviously that once we're underway that these types of activities hopefully are going to be reduced and perhaps even eliminated," Simmonds said. Fort McMurray will welcome 13 members for a gang enforcement unit — seven of which are paid for by the municipality, six by the province. ALERT will be operating an intelligence unit as well — a total of five positions, four paid for by the province and one by the municipality.
