On April 1, 140 fish and wildlife officers across Alberta become part of a new initiative to combat rural crime and protect Albertans: RAPID Response. Under RAP...ID Response, Alberta’s fish and wildlife officers are now available to help the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Alberta answer emergency and high-priority calls when requested. This means fish and wildlife officers are now able to respond to requests from the RCMP to be first at the scene of an emergency in cases where they are closer than the police. Fish and wildlife officers will also respond to RCMP requests for backup, which could involve helping the police locate suspects or preserve a crime scene. RAPID Response is a new function for fish and wildlife officers it’s not a new organization. The core mandate of Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Services remains conservation law enforcement. On most days, fish and wildlife officers will spend their time solely on their regular duties. RAPID Response currently covers most areas of rural Alberta policed by the RCMP. The provincial government is also holding a series of meetings with First Nations and Métis leaders to determine their interest and earn their support before expanding RAPID Response to their communities.

Travelling at over 200 km/h would be unsafe in ideal conditions but it was dark, with strong winds, blowing snow, icy roads and temperatures hovering near -40...C when a member of the Sheriff Highway Patrol recently pulled over a motorist driving at those extreme speeds. The sheriff was out on routine patrol at about 9:15 p.m. on Feb. 11 when he stopped the driver of a Honda Civic eastbound on Highway 16 near Mundare. At 201 km/h, the driver was exceeding the posted speed limit of 110 km/h by more than 90 km/h. Speeds like these are completely unacceptable in good driving conditions, with speed being a contributor in nearly of a quarter of all fatal collisions. Also concerning is this driver held a Class 1 commercial driver’s licence, and is considered a professional driver, said Insp. John Zee of the Sheriff Highway Patrol. Motorists ticketed for exceeding the posted speed limit by more than 50 km/h receive an automatic court summons. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a $2,000 fine or six months in jail, or both. A conviction also carries six demerit points and the court also has an option to suspend the offender’s licence. The driver, who lives in Lloydminster, received a court summons and is scheduled to appear in Fort Saskatchewan provincial court on March 25th.

#TBT: Speeding has always been a problem on the Whitemud - even before construction was finished. The only difference back in 1988? The tickets were a bit cheaper.
