A spike in break and enters was an area of concern for the RCMP in the first quarter.

During the recent council meeting, Officer in Charge Will Tewnion told council that the spike led to an investigation: "A number of individuals including youth and adults have been charged for those great deal of break and enters that occurred. It concerns me that those statistics are up but it also is encouraging to know we got the bad guys, so to speak".

Tewnion says overall they are seeing similar trends to last year with crimes and occurances decreasing, which he says, shows the policing priorities are working.
