The RCMP worked in overdrive throughout 2015 as a result of a spike in homicides that occurred within its 112 RCMP detachment jurisdictions throughout Alberta last year. In 2015, investigators responded to 65 homicides compared to 36 in 2014. This is also much higher than the 10-year (2005-15) average of 40 homicides per year.
On Jan. 16 RCMP were notified of a Break and Enter to a garage in Galahad had occurred.
The complainant said that it had occurred about a week ago and that someone broke into his grandmother’s garage.
The door to the garage was kicked in and several tool boxes were opened and contents strewn around the building.
Killam RCMP are looking for the public’s help.
Killam RCMP Detachment members have welcomed a new corporal this month, as Corporal James Malone arrived.
Malone replaces Cpl. Brent Robinson, who has moved to Rocky Mountain House.
Malone comes to Killam from a detachment in Nunavut that was 500 km north of the Arctic Circle.
The Killam/Forestburg RCMP Detachment initiated a total of 36 files from the week starting Oct. 24 – 31.
