Did you know that Edmonton's crime statistics are published online and available to the public?
The Edmonton Police Service (EPS) reports Edmonton's crime statistics on their Neighbourhood Community Safety Map. The online safety map was developed to engage the public to take an active role in community safety and crime prevention. Explore the EPS Safety Map HERE and check out what’s been happening in Brookview (search by Bulyea Heights).
A quick glance at the safety map should reassure Brookview residents that, compared to the rest of Edmonton, we do not have a lot of crime in our community. But, we do have some.
The list below summarizes Bulyea Heights safety map data between July 1, 2024, and February 26, 2025. As you review the list, look for patterns (compare dates, type of crime, etc.).

As a community, there are things that we can do to help reduce crime in our neighbourhood:
1) Report criminal activity to the police. Reporting crimes helps the police address hotspots and criminal activity. The EPS website provides guidance on why and how to report crimes Link HERE.
2) If you report a crime to the police or see something suspicious in Brookview, inform our community through the Crier. There was a cluster of criminal activity in August 2024 (prime vacation time). This pattern has been observed before in Brookview during the summer months. Let the community know when crime happens so we can watch out for each other.
3) Get to know your neighbours. Let your neighbours know when you are away on holidays and take steps to make your home look like someone is at home when you are away (have an interior light on a timer, arrange for someone to pick up flyers/shovel snow, ask a neighbour to put your garbage out on garbage day).
4) Always lock your vehicles and remove vehicle keys and garage door openers from your vehicles. Keep your vehicle keys in a safe place in your home (not hanging by the door). Convenience for homeowners is convenient for criminals.

Edmonton’s Neighbourhood Empowerment Team (NET) created a practical guide to help Edmontonians make their property safer. For more information on crime prevention review the NET Brochure HERE. (NET is a partnership of the Edmonton Police Service, City of Edmonton, The Family Centre and United Way Alberta Capital Region).
Applying crime prevention practices can help increase the security of your property and our entire community.
