Peace officers
Peace officers enforce the following:
- municipal bylaws, such as the Traffic bylaw, Dog Control bylaw and Consumption of Cannabis in Public Places bylaw
- provincial legislation, such as the Traffic Safety Act, Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act, Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act and Trespass to Premises Act
Additional services include:
- investigating incoming complaints from community members
- proactively patrolling residential, industrial and recreational areas
- providing dog control services
- promoting traffic safety, including through commercial vehicle inspections
- supporting crime prevention through community outreach and partnerships with local crime watch groups
- providing support for other emergency agencies
Leduc County's Community Peace Officer Performance Plan identifies the areas peace officers will focus on this year.
Our peace officers cannot respond to incidents that involve dangerous weapons, including firearms. Firearms-related questions must be directed to either the RCMP or Alberta Fish and Wildlife, depending on the circumstances.

RCMP
The RCMP are responsible for responding to and investigating all criminal matters, including the following:
- vehicle collisions
- theft and home invasions
- drug-related crimes
- organized crimes
- economic crimes such as counterfeiting and credit card fraud
They are also responsible for patrolling all one- and two-digit roads (including highways 2, 2A, 21, 39 and 60) in the county. They also respond to activation of business or residential alarm systems.
False alarms
Leduc County established a False Alarm Bylaw at the request of the Leduc RCMP to address the amount of time and resources spent dealing with false alarms. Learn more about the bylaw and preventing false alarms.
The RCMP have five detachments serving the Leduc County area, depending on your location. View the RCMP jurisdiction map to see which detachment responds to emergencies in your area.
