Members of the Edmonton Police Service Child
Protection Section are releasing ETS security
surveillance images in the hopes of identifying a male
suspect in connection with a sexual assault.
At approximately 10:18 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2010 police
dispatch received a call from Edmonton Transit Services
reporting an incident which had just occurred. They
reported a lone 12-year-old female got onto an ETS bus
No. 8 near 59 Street and 118 Avenue. The girl was
approached by an adult male passenger, who allegedly
began speaking with her before reaching out and
allegedly touching her inappropriately several times.
Police learned the suspect first got on the bus at 9:15
a.m. at 86 Street and 61 Avenue.
The suspect immediately exited the bus after being
confronted by the driver about his behaviour towards the
young girl. He was last seen walking along 118 Avenue,
near 47 Street. Officers were immediately called to the
area, but could not locate the suspect.
The suspect is described as a dark-skinned male in his
20’s, approximately 5’7” and 130 lbs., with a thin build.
He was clean shaven, and was wearing a white ski jacket
with grey patches, with a white Hoody underneath. He
was also wearing blue jeans and a grey tuque.
If you recognize the suspect or have any information
about what occurred on the bus, you are asked to call
police at 780-423-4567

a white, long sleeved shirt and jeans. The male suspect is
described as being between 25 and 35 years of age, with

jeans and an easily recognizable red “Polaris” racing
jacket.
Peace Regional RCMP are seeking the public’s
assistance in identifying the suspects pictured in the
security footage. (Photographs attached). If you have

been actively investigating since the information was
first given to them. Investigators are determining
what potential links exist, if any between all events.
Tabler says, “We are concerned that these incidents
aren’t isolated ones. We are hoping that there are
people who witnessed events and will come forward.
They need to know any little piece of the story may
be helpful in solving these events.”
We need information from the public to assist us in
catching this suspect or suspects. What is also
critical is the information we obtain from
complainants. Due to the number of bus routes that
exist, it is absolutely critical that the victims in these
cases note the bus number, time of travel, direction
of travel and any other route information.
Background:
First incident – January 12 at 3:00 p.m. on a bus
traveling Northbound on 111 Street between 43 and
48 Avenue. The complainant was a 15-year-old
female.
Second Incident - January 18 at 3:15 p.m. on a bus
travelling Northbound on 111 Street between 43 and
48 Avenue. The complainant was a 15-year-old
female.
Third Incident - January 20 at 6:00 p.m. on a
connecting bus on Southside route #17. The
complainant was a 24-year-old woman.
Police have obtained this image of a suspect in one
of the incidents from one of the complainants on her
cell phone camera.
Anyone with information which may assist Police
are asked to call the complaint line at 780-423-4567
or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
Update:Thanks to all media outlets for their coverage
concerning the sexual touching incidents. An arrest
has been made in connection with these incidents.
However, the person is NOT the one pictured in the
image that was obtained from the cellphone camera
shots. Police are still looking for that individual.
However, the arrest is in relation to the latest
incident which occurred January 20th at 6:00 p.m.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. Friday night (January
22nd) Southwest Division officers arrested 52-year-
old Rajinder Prashad Kaul at the Southgate bus
terminal. He is being charged in relation to the third
incident which involved a 24-year-old woman. Kaul
has been charged with count of sexual assault.

West Division detectives are
investigating an early-morning assault
on a cab driver.
At approximately 3:50 a.m. on Dec. 1,
2009, a cab driver picked up a lone male
at 154 Street and Stony Plain Road. The
male asked to be taken to an industrial
area west of the city and then back into
Edmonton. After several stops, the cab
driver dropped off the male at 124 Street
and 116 Avenue. The suspect then
demanded money and allegedly
threatened the driver with a small knife.
Despite being injured, the cab driver was
able to fight off the suspect and escape.
The suspect then allegedly drove off in
the taxi, which was recovered in the
west end later this morning.
Police are looking for a male suspect,
who is described as possibly Native and
30 years old, of average height and with
a stocky build.
West Division detectives continue to
investigate.

senseless acts of vandalism with no reports of theft.
Considerable damage was caused to the three businesses
and the vehicles that were targeted . Damage to the
vehicles include: broken taillights, smashed windows and
windshields and in one instance, a fire extinguisher was
discharged inside one of the vandalized vehicles.
Investigators have obtained some current information
that a group of youths were either directly involved in or
witnessed these incidents.
Everyone who is familiar with their neighbourhood
knows when someone or something is out of the
ordinary, or when someone is acting suspicious. RCMP
strongly encourage anyone who becomes aware of such
activities, regardless of nature, to report any incident that
they feel is out of the ordinary. Such calls are not a waste
of time or resources for RCMP officers. As in the earlier
mentioned case where charges arose from a tip, RCMP
investigators strongly believe that it takes citizen’s co-
operation along with police resources to keep our
community safe from these reckless acts of vandalism
that end up affecting everyone through rising insurance
rates.
Anyone with any information that may assist
investigators is encouraged to contact Bonnyville

approached the vehicle and spoke to the male driver
and one male passenger.
The member noted a strong odour of raw
marihuana coming from the vehicle. After further
investigation, it is believed both males were in
Possession of a Controlled Substance. Both males
were arrested without incident and taken into police
custody.
Subsequent to the arrest of the males, a search of
the Pontiac Sunfire was completed. Leduc RCMP
located several drug paraphernalia as well as
approximately 1,913 grams (approx 4.25 pounds) of
what is believed to be Cannabis Marihuana. The
packaging in which the marihuana was located is
consistent with that seen in drug trafficking and
Leduc RCMP believe the drugs were prepared to be

Arson extortion case in Edmonton featuredon America'sMost Wantedprogram
16 Police Newsmagazine
Detective Rob Paton with Robbery Section says,
“Having this kind of a net cast can’t help but assist
in locating this fugitive so that he can face these
charges in Canada.”
Paton says there is still a $25,000 reward
outstanding that the Edmonton Police Commission
has offered up in relation to this case. It is hoped it
will lead to the arrest of 25-year-old Christopher
David Meer. The Edmonton Police Service along
with RCMP, U.S. Marshals, and Border Services
have been involved in this investigation since 2007.
It has involved multiple suspects and crosses several
jurisdictions.
BACKGROUND:The investigation dates back to March 2007 when
officers began looking into a possible connection
between three arsons in the Edmonton and Pigeon
Lake areas. Two fires in South Edmonton (November
2007, and December 2007) and a third in Pigeon
Lake (March 2007) were all included in the
investigation. Officers soon learned that they were
dealing with a situation that extended far beyond
three isolated arsons. Over the course of the
investigation it was learned that five individuals, all
from Alberta, allegedly used intimidation, fear and
violence to affect several of their business and
personal relationships in the province.
Investigators can reveal two people were charged
and have since pled guilty and were sentenced to a
federal penitentiary. Two others are awaiting trial.
EPS Police are still looking for 25-year-old
Christopher David Meer and warrants have been
issued. Meer was profiled on the Fox television
show America’s Most Wanted. It is suspected that
Meer may have altered his appearance since this
picture was taken.
Christopher David Meer
25-years-old, White male, 135lbs, 5’9” tall, Brown
eyes, Brown hair with blonde highlights
The arson extortion case remains under
investigation, and officers are asking anyone who
may have had dealings with the accused, or know the
whereabouts of the suspect still at large, to contact
them at 423-4567.

Edmonton Police Service investigators are asking for
the public’s assistance in identifying a man who may
have information about an incident where a significant
amount money was stolen from a woman in the parking
lot of West Edmonton Mall last summer.
During the morning of Wednesday, July 29, 2009, a
woman in her 50s was transporting cash between a bank
and her place of employment at West Edmonton Mall.
She left the bank on 170 Street and 100 Avenue with cash
and returned to West Edmonton Mall where she obtained
more cash from a financial institution. Around 11:30
a.m., she returned to her vehicle and discovered she had a
flat tire. A male approached her and allegedly insisted on
helping. The offer was allegedly refused and after the
male left, the woman discovered that her purse
containing several thousands of dollars was missing from
inside her car and that her tire had been slashed.
Investigating officers are considering the possibility
that she was followed as she made her way to the various
locations that day.
The above images were taken from surveillance
footage at the bank she visited earlier that morning.
The male in the picture is not believed to be the one who
offered her assistance with her car, but officers would
like to identify and speak to the male about what he may
or may not have seen at the bank that day.
Anyone with information about the unidentified male is
asked to contact the Edmonton Police Service non-
emergency line at 780-423-4567.

West Division detectives are hoping the public can help
them identify a person in connection with a number of
thefts from autos in several west-end communities.
An image from a surveillance
camera in a parkade is being
released to help identify the
following male subject who police
believe may be involved with these
events:
The communities of Hudson,
Pembina, Cumberland and
Wellington - which are part of EPS
West Division - have seen the
highest increase in incidents.
During the last 30 days, there were
36 occurrences of thefts from autos
in the four neighbourhoods.
Vehicles parked on the street and
within locked parkades are being
targeted. Windows are being
smashed and door locks punched.
Loose change, visible merchandise and
registration/insurance slips are being targeted. Most of
the incidents are occurring at night time, between
midnight and 6 a.m.
“The police continue to be
frustrated with the public for not
removing articles of value from
their vehicles,” says Staff Sgt.
Dale Fenrich, of West Division
CIS Unit. “We encourage the
public to be more vigilant by
ensuring only legitimate persons
are let into enclosed parkades.”
Anyone who observes a
suspicious person prowling
around parked cars is encouraged
to call police at 780-423-4567.

As those involved in property crime offences continue
to ply their trade, the Edmonton Police Service along
with Belgravia Crime Watch, and residents of Belgravia
are coming together to use technology to help protect
valuable assets through the Operation Hands Off property
identification program.
In an effort to help reduce thefts
whether they may be wire, metal,
car parts or anything of value,
businesses and consumers alike
can avail themselves of
technology in the Canadian
market place. Applied by a brush
or spray applicator,
MicroDotDNA can be applied to
just about any surface only to be
seen with a magnifying device.
Each MicroDotDNA has a
unique number series embedded
on it which can be traced back to
an individual or company. Being sprayed or brushed on a
surface, dozens to thousands of these dots can be used to
mark and identify all manner of products, making it
much like a name tag with numbers. North American
utility companies have seen significant reduction in the
theft of tools and metal since the inception of this
program three years ago and
local companies such as
EPCOR and PCL have also
had very positive results.
Armed with this type of
technology, law enforcement
agencies will now be able to
not only track, but provide
absolute identification of a
piece of property making it
easier to not only identify
victims but also to show to the
courts who the rightful owner
actually is.

On November 20th, 2009, Canada Border Service
Agency (CBSA) at Toronto International Airport
examined a package being shipped from Panama to a
Fort MacMurray address, believed to have contained
approximately 12 kilograms of cocaine.
On November 25th, 2009 RCMP Edmonton Drug
Section in collaboration with Canada Border Services
Agency, Fort McMurray RCMP, and Edmonton
Integrated Proceeds of Crime initiated an investigation
and acting on the strength of a judicially authorized
search warrant seized evidence supporting grounds to
charge Sinday Paola SAIBIS-RODRIGUEZ, age 20 of
Fort MacMurray with two offences under the Controlled
Drugs and Substances Act:
- Importation of cocaine, and
- Possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking.
SAIBIS-RODRIGUEZ was remanded in custody to
appear in Fort McMurray Provincial Court on December
8th, 2009.
This seizure of 12 kilograms of cocaine, the largest
volume of this illicit drug seized in relation to a Fort
McMurray investigation, illustrates the importance of the
RCMP working in partnership with CBSA in addressing
the production, importation, distribution, sales, and use of
illegal drugs. This amount of cocaine could have resulted
in distribution or sales of approximately 240,000 casual
use doses of this illicit and harmful drug. Illegal drug
activities impact every aspect of our communities:
business, commerce and trade; family life. Personal
safety and development, along with health care and
professional services are negatively impacted.

EPS West Division is releasing surveillance images in
hopes of identifying a suspect in connection with several
thefts in Edmonton.
In the last few weeks, a rash of thefts has occurred at
several city swimming pools, arenas and fitness facilities.

are taken from the locker, especially wallets. On more
than one occasion, the suspect has used the stolen credit
cards to purchase goods – laptop computers in particular
- at London Drugs and Future Shop stores. The purchases
have amounted to thousands of dollars.
Several RCMP detachments in Alberta have also been
looking for the same suspect for thefts and frauds in St.
Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont and Red Deer.
The suspect is a Caucasian male, approximately
5’10”, 180 lbs., wearing a black ball cap with a white
logo and sunglasses propped on top. He was also
wearing white sneakers, and a red and black winter
jacket.

A 37-year-old man has been charged with several
offences after the vehicle he was allegedly driving struck
a police officer.
Shortly after 3 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 2, Downtown
Division officers attempted to pull over a Pontiac Grand
Am containing a male and female occupant. Despite
emergency lights being activated, the suspect vehicle
fled, striking the police vehicle in the process. The car
was followed to 250 Avenue and 34 Street where it came
to a stop. As officers approached the vehicle on foot it
accelerated toward one of the officers, striking the officer
and sending him over the hood and onto the ground.
Shots were fired at the suspect vehicle which continued
to drive away. A criminal flight from police ensued as the
Grand Am headed north out of the city. Air-1 took over
the criminal flight and requested assistance from RCMP
who deployed a spike belt. The vehicle pulled over and
the female passenger exited, but the car fled again. The
vehicle became disabled after running over the spike belt
and came to a stop in a field near Redwater. The RCMP
Emergency Response Team was called in and the suspect
was eventually taken into custody.
The EPS officer who was struck by the vehicle
received soft tissue injuries to his legs.
Jason Ronald Kult, 37, was charged with criminal hitand run, criminal flight from police causing bodily harm,assault a peace officer with a weapon, dangerousdriving, unlawful confinement, breach of probation, andfour counts of breach of recognizance.

remove a female who was seated near the rear window.
She was suffering from severe injuries and Kathleen
got blankets and attempted to assist her. Dale returned

survivor from the SUV was the first male that they had
rescued.

year-old girl allegedly assaulted an elderly man and
attempted to steal his vehicle. Jason and Steve removed
the teens from the vehicle while Shannon called police.
Shannon and Steve attended to the victim and Adam
recorded the plate number of the vehicle which assisted
in the police investigation. Jason and Shannon followed
the teens as they ran into a nearby store and allegedly
brandished knives from the shelves. Jason struggled
with the male teen, resulting in one of the knives
skidding along the floor. Roy witnessed the situation
inside the store and with the assistance of Shannon
they were able to get the knife out of the girl’s hand.

other seriously injured officer nearby. She radioed for
assistance and, because of the remote location, drove to
a road where ambulances and other police officers
could find her. She then directed them to the location.
Unfortunately the two officers succumbed to their
injuries in the days following the incident.
Don Morrison of Dutch Valley, NB, received a
Bronze Medal for Bravery for his swift and heroic
actions in saving a pilot from a burning helicopter on
May 24, 2008 near Norman Wells, NWT. The
helicopter with three occupants started spinning and
struck the ground as it approached a landing site. Don
was able to remove his seatbelt, kick out a window, and
exit. Despite heat from the flames, Don grabbed the
pilot and removed her from the wreckage. He
attempted to assist the other passenger, but the
helicopter became fully engulfed. Fearing an explosion,
he then moved the pilot a safer distance away. Don was
able to contact a coworker who then contacted
emergency responders. The pilot was taken to hospital
for treatment of a back injury and Don was treated and
released.
Patrick O’Connor, of Calgary, AB, was on vacation
in Panama City, Florida, on April 11, 2009, when he
noticed a teenage boy and a man in a sea kayak about
100 metres away in the water during a time of high surf
and strong undertows. Neither was wearing a life jacket
when their kayak overturned. The man began to yell for
help as he held onto the boy. Despite ‘red flag
conditions’, Patrick and another man went into the
water to assist. They used the kayak to provide
buoyancy and approached the unresponsive boy and
man who was repeatedly going under the water. They
placed the boy on the kayak and helped the man hang
on to it while they approached the shore. Another man
and woman performed CPR until help arrived.
Unfortunately the boy passed away two days later, but
the man survived. He received a Bronze Medal for
Bravery.

Jonas Servage, of Edmonton, received a Bronze
Medal for Bravery for saving another person from a
vicious attack at a downtown Edmonton LRT station on
January 2, 2008. Jonas entered the station and saw a
15-year-old female attacking a woman on the LRT
platform. He dropped his duffle bag and pulled the girl
off. The teen allegedly stole the woman’s purse and got
onto a train that had just pulled up. Jonas called
security on the emergency help phone and followed the
girl onto the train and pushed the emergency stop
button to prevent it from going anywhere. In the
meantime, three males who had gotten off the train
picked up Jonas’s duffle bag and walked away.
Arriving security guards and officers arrested not only
the girl, but also the three males who took the duffle
bag.
James and Tom Wanyandie of Grande Cache, AB,
received Bronze Medals for Bravery for their
courageous actions in saving each other in a life-
threatening situation. On June 6, 2009, James and his
78-year-old father Tom were searching for moose
antlers while walking in the wilderness near Prairie
Creek when they were charged by a grizzly bear. James
fired his rifle at her, but she grabbed him by the arm
and shook him. Tom jammed his walking stick into the
bear’s mouth but she grabbed him by the arm and
knocked him to the ground. James jabbed at the bear
with his rifle and she again turned on him, dragging
him by the leg several feet. Tom managed to get up and
yell as loud as he could and finally the bear ran away.
Both men suffered broken arms, bite marks, and
scratches, but saved each other’s lives.
Kelley McConnell of Edmonton received an

Police were able to obtain a more detailed description of a
male suspect who approached three young girls in a school
yard on Monday, Jan. 11. Investigators are hoping the
additional information will help identify the individual.
The information provided includes: fair skinned, possibly
wearing glasses, with brown eyes, unshaven and with dark
brown hair. His jacket was waist length and two-tone blue,
with four pockets on the front. The muskrat-style hat was
dark brown. His blue jeans had holes on the knees and he
may have been wearing dark boots. The suspect smelled of
cigarettes and was possibly carrying a black or dark green
fabric grocery bag.
Anyone with information about the suspect is asked to call
the EPS complaint line at 780-423-4567 or Crime Stoppers at
1-800-222-8477.
Background:
EPS West Division officers are looking for information about
a male who approached three young girls yesterday
afternoon.
Around 2 p.m., on Monday, Jan. 11, 2010, an unknown male
suspect walked into a school yard at 90 Avenue and 182
Street, where he approached three five-year-old girls during a
recess break. The male allegedly offered to take the three girls
to West Edmonton Mall and buy them candy. When a nearby
teacher from the school noticed the male suspect, she called
the students in, at which time the suspect quickly walked
away. He was seen walking in the direction of 178 Street and
90 Avenue.
The suspect is described as a Caucasian male in his mid to
late 20s, approximately 5’8” and of medium build. He was
wearing a blue zipped-up coat, blue jeans and a dark-coloured
muskrat-style hat with the ear flaps down.
“Parents are encouraged to remind their children not to speak
with strangers and to seek out an adult if they are approached
by a stranger,” says Sgt. Alex Hasham of West Division. “In
this case, the teacher’s quick actions possibly prevented the
situation from escalating any further.”

The Results are in from the 2009 ChristmasCHECKSTOP Motorists Blowing Well Over Legal LimitWhile there hasn’t been a spike in the number of impaired
drivers on the road, there is something that has emerged that is
disturbing. According to members of the alcohol breath testing
detail those that are being pulled over are blowing well in
excess of the legal limit.
Sgt. Aubrey Zalaski of the Specialized Traffic Operations Unit
says, “The amount of alcohol present in the drivers that were
apprehended during this year’s Checkstop campaign was 11.5
per cent higher than seen five years ago. We also saw a
significant increase in the number of drug impaired drivers
apprehended in 2009. It is hard to imagine that these impaired
drivers were out on the road that is shared by people we know
and care about.”
The following statistics have been compiled since the 2009
Checkstop campaign was launched on Wednesday, November
4. These combined statistics include both the official

On January 19, 2010, at approximately 6:30 p.m.,
The Albert Sheriff Apprehension Unit, with the
assistance of Albert RCMP General Investigation
Section, and Edmonton Police Service’s Tactical
Unit, arrested Aram Hadi, age 20. Hadi, of no fixed
address, was arrested on Canada Wide Warrants
from Hamilton, Ontario. Hadi was arrested without
incident after St. Albert RCMP received information
about his location.
The St. Albert RCMP were pursuing investigative
leads as Hadi is a person of interest in an attempted
robbery which occurred in St. Albert on January 10,
2010. RCMP were called to a house party at
approximately 3:40 a.m. on that date, where a 37
year old male resident of St. Albert had sustained
injuries as a result an interaction with 4 people who
attended the party univited. This was an isolated
incident. The RCMP investigation into this incident
is ongoing and charges are pending.
Hadi is currently being held pending a judicial
hearing to arrange for his transport back to
Hamilton, Ontario where he will be held to answer
to his Ontario charges. Hadi was wanted on
warrants for one charge of Assisting in an escape
contrary to Section 147(a) of the Criminal Code
and one charge of Breach of Probation contrary to
Section 733(1) contrary to the Criminal Code. If
Hadi is found guilty of the Ontario offences, he
could be potentially incarcerated for a substantial
period of time, thus not returning to Alberta for quite
some time.
Any questions in relation to the warrant or charges
from Hamilton should be directed to Hamilton
Police Service.

Homicide detectives along with Southwest Division
officers are investigating a suspicious death in
Edmonton’s west end.
Around 8:45 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 12, police were
contacted by staff of the Beth Israel Synagogue on Wolf
Willow Road after they discovered the body of what
appears to be an adult male on the grounds surrounding
the building.
“The death is being treated as suspicious at this time,”
says Homicide Section Staff Sergeant Lorne Pubantz. “It
is too early in the investigation to determine the
circumstances surrounding the death.”
Officers will remain at the scene throughout the day.
Further information may be released following the
autopsy.
If anyone saw suspicious activity in the area over
the past few days, they are asked to contact police on
the non-emergency line at 780-423-4567.
West End death ruled homicideOfficers continue to investigate the circumstances
surrounding the death of a male near Wolf Willow Road
in Edmonton’s west end. At this point the EPS is able to
confirm that the victim suffered apparent gun shot
injuries and the death is now being ruled a homicide.
The autopsy on 21-year-old Abdulaziz Osman Isse is
scheduled for this afternoon. Isse is originally from
eastern Canada and was not known to the Edmonton
Police Service. He is not considered to be homeless.
Gang and drug section officers have been notified but a
gang or drug connection has not been confirmed. Any
connection to previous homicides in Edmonton has not
been established at this time. At this point there appears
to be no connection to the synagogue near where the
body was found.

Suspiciousdeath under investigation

On November 6, 2009 Mayor Stephen Mandel, EPS Inspector
Darren Eastcott and Constable Ryan Kachur handed out the
first citation to a junior high school student under a new
positive ticketing program called B.R.A.G (Because of a
Random Act of Goodwill).
Twelve-year-old Londonderry Junior High School Student,
Sydney Nguyen was ticketed for always offering her assistance
to others at her school, encouraging her peers and sharing a
contagious enthusiasm for life. The ‘B.R.A.G.’ Citation
program rewards kind and responsible behaviour, and creates
opportunities for meaningful and positive interaction between
youth and police.
“This program is one more way for our police officers to
connect with the youth they meet every day and create
opportunities to reinforce positive personal and social
behaviours,” said Inspector Darren Eastcott. “Thanking our
youth for their good deeds and demonstrating we value the
difference they make in our communities only takes a minute,
but the results may have an impact throughout their lifetime.”
Each B.R.A.G. Citation includes a free admission pass to any
City of Edmonton leisure, sports and fitness facility. Funding
for the B.R.A.G program is provided by the Edmonton Police
Foundation.
“We’re proud to highlight the good deeds of youth in
Edmonton with programs like B.R.A.G. By rewarding good
deeds with these citations, we are focusing on the positive
rather than the punitive,” said Mayor Stephen Mandel.
“Acknowledging that positive actions lead to positive outcomes
will encourage a ripple affect that will see Edmonton become
an even better city. Congratulations to EPS for this innovative
program.”
The simplest acts of kindness and goodwill can be recognized
through a B.R.A.G. Citation, including but not limited to:
Wearing a helmet while biking, obeying rules of the road
• Standing up for a friend
• Reporting a stolen bike
• Volunteering in the community
• Helping someone in trouble
• Assisting a senior citizen
• Doing the right thing!

During 2009 RCMP Serious Crimes Branch investigated
39 homicides in RCMP jurisdictions throughout Alberta.
In 2008, RCMP conducted 53
homicide investigations. Of the 39 homicides, 32 are
considered to be solved, providing a current clearance
rate of 82%.
The RCMP investigates suspicious deaths as homicides
even when the circumstances do not provide direct
evidence of a homicide, at the time
of the occurrence. In cases involving suspicious deaths
the Medical Examiner is responsible for a number of key
factors including the positive identification of the
deceased along with determining the manner and cause
of death. While law enforcement agencies treat
suspicious deaths as homicide investigations, it is the

Medical Examiner who is responsible for classifying a
death as a homicide. RCMP investigators utilize major
case management principles, a proven investigational
technique used to ensure that no aspects of evidence or
potential witnesses are overlooked, when investigating
suspicious deaths.
In 2009, the RCMP identified 16 of the 39 homicides
resulted from domestic violence. This included a wide
range of family relationships well beyond the context of
intimate partners. Of the 39 homicides in 2009, six
deaths involved an intimate partner relationship.
Circumstances lead investigators to believe all six were a
result of a man killing his spouse or intimate partner. In
2008, RCMP also investigated six intimate partner
homicides where it is believed that three men killed their
partners and three women also killed their partners.
Additionally, 12 of the 2009 homicides involved persons
who would be described as known to or an acquaintance
of the deceased.
The RCMP’s Serious Crimes Branch is responsible for
providing either a lead investigative role or support role
in homicide investigations occurring in RCMP policed
jurisdictions throughout the province. Investigators also
work closely with our various policing partners when
circumstances afford the opportunity to provide
assistance, or to share skills and resources. In 2009, the
branch was comprised of investigators situated
throughout the province in various Major Crimes Units,
provincial and municipal General Investigation Sections
and Project KARE.
In 2009, as Alberta’s Provincial Police Service and in
some communities the Municipal Police Service, RCMP
“K” Division served a largely rural population of about
1,621,457 people or 44.6% of the Alberta population.

Police have identified and questioned a male suspect who
was spotted talking with three young girls in the Belmead
school yard.
A CARRT member patrolling the school area on Monday,
Jan. 18 noticed a male who fit a very detailed description
released to the public on Jan. 13, 2010. The male was
seen walking on a path in the area of 178 Street and 90
Avenue around 2 p.m.
The 65-year-old man was detained for questioning but
the evidence obtained didn’t meet the requirement for
criminal charges. However, the male will be banned from
all school properties.
“Our officers were able to identify this man thanks to the
very good descriptions and the astute work by a CARRT
member,” says Sgt. Alex Hasham. “Although we weren’t
able to lay charges, this individual is now on our radar.”
