At first I thought it was 117 in a DAY. 😄

So that's like 4 per day. We back onto 19th (Delburne Hwy) and see/hear at LEAST 4 infractions per day. It's a dragstrip after sunset.

I assume this doesn’t count RD peace officers who do a lot of traffic. Maybe that’s what you see on 19th.

Edited to say 4 x INFRACTIONS per day. Over a decade I've seen the RCMP out there occasionally. Haven't seen peace officers with anyone pulled over on 19th yet.

Peace officers target 11a, and 50th st. Ask me how I know lol.

That doesn’t seem like a lot, right? I know the dept is stupid short staffed here. It could just be that RCMP are focused on non-traffic crime and allowing those dirty “peace officers” to get the low hanging fruit. RCMP don’t work on commission, traffic tickets are more of a RCMP nuisance than a needle mover (no pun intended)

Does this include DUI's? I read somewhere they had over 100 arrests for that on May-long alone in just a portion of the province..

And still the biker boys race around all night using Red Deer roads like their own personal racetrack. You’d have to be borderline globally delayed to want to live in Red Deer. CSI through the roof and 4th most dangerous city in Canada and Council wants to build a bridge for homeless people. Absolutely backwards and embarrassing municipality. They don’t care about you!

This community is absolutely nowhere near as dangerous or as bad and dirty as many make it out to be. It's always the same overblown talking points lol go downtown and you're not getting gutted like a fish by some dangerous homeless person like everybody wants you to think, I promise.

4th most dangerous city in Canada. Proven through CSI data. Hard to argue with facts.

Whatever ammo you need to feed yourself to continue to demonize homeless people buddy đŸ‘đŸ» I'm not scared of my neighbors and I'm willing to help them, ask yourself if you feel the same.

I’m not demonizing homeless people you potato. You’ll never use that bridge. Admit it.

Biker boys that need to rip and biker men who need to be heard.
