A Safer Alberta Starts Here

Our Community. 
Our Safety. 
Our Responsibility.

A safer Alberta starts here, with all of us.

It starts with uniting all the voices who help keep our communities safe.

Citizens, law enforcement, government, Indigenous leaders, industry and academia all play a crucial role in keeping our communities safe.

For 35 years, the Alberta Community Crime Prevention Association (ACCPA) has been a point of connection for everyone who cares about preventing crime through the strength of community.

For years, our annual crime prevention conference, has been a place where honest, heartfelt conversations help us build a shared understanding of what community safety requires.

That shared understanding guides the initiatives and partnerships that make Alberta safer for everyone.

We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently subject to Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederacy – Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika – the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Stoney Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nation and the Métis People of Alberta. This includes the Métis Settlements and the Six Regions of the Métis Nation of Alberta within the historical Northwest Metis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us. We make this acknowledgement as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting.
