La Ronge RCMP crime reduction team reports success
The RCMP’s new crime reduction team (CRT) in La Ronge is witnessing success in the program.
That’s according to Sgt. Jonathan Cormier, who currently leads the intelligence-based unit. The team has been active in La Ronge since 2023 and are deployed to assist in communities where there has been a spike in any kind of crime.
“Right now, in La Ronge, we do have gang initiatives because we do have a spike with gang activities,” he said.
The CRT is tasked with trying to enhance community safety, as well as suppress the activities of criminal groups that threaten community safety. The team also conducts targeted enforcement-based intelligence and analysis of crime trends in specific communities.
