Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) is an Alberta program that allows anyone to report a property (residential or commercial) where specific illegal activity is happening. This includes drug trafficking, prostitution, and gang-related crime.

This is a resource for communities across Alberta, either rural or urban.

The SCAN unit can start an investigation based on citizen tips, and it works with residents to increase safety.
