The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) unit of the Alberta Sheriffs obtained a court order against the property owner of 15812 110A Avenue Northwest. The property will be closed for 90 days, beginning on Nov. 5 at noon. All individuals must vacate the premises, including the property owner.
The community safety order, obtained in the Court of King’s Bench, bars all people from the property until the closure period ends on Feb. 3, 2026, and prohibits certain individuals from accessing the property altogether, while the order is in place. The property will be boarded up, fenced and all the locks will be changed. SCAN members will continue to monitor the property for activity while their investigation remains ongoing. Community safety order conditions remain in effect until Feb. 3, 2028.
“The dangerous and illegal activity tied to this property ends now, thanks to the decisive action taken by SCAN. I want to thank the dedicated members of the SCAN unit and the Edmonton Police Service whose investigation has brought about an end to the chaos and disorder that has undermined the neighbourhood’s sense of security for years. By staying vigilant and reporting disturbances to SCAN, Edmontonians have shown that they won’t tolerate this behaviour in their communities.”
“The successful conclusion on this file is the result of SCAN’s close collaboration with the Edmonton Police Service. This closure speaks to the critical importance of residents observing and reporting issues to local law enforcement. These results are driven by community members who speak up about problem properties in their neighbourhoods. I encourage all Albertans to report suspicious activity when they see it.”
“Multi-agency partnerships are an important part of policing, particularly when drug-fuelled crime at problem properties threatens community safety and targets our community’s most vulnerable members. EPS’ ongoing work with SCAN is a testament to these successful partnerships and we look forward to continuing to work with them to tackle the challenges these properties create in the communities we serve.”
The Alberta Sheriffs work with other law enforcement agencies to shut down properties being used for illegal activities. The SCAN unit operates under the Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act, which uses legal sanctions and court orders to hold owners accountable for illegal activity happening on their property.
Since its inception in 2008, Alberta’s SCAN unit has investigated more than 10,000 properties and has issued more than 140 community safety orders. Most complaints are resolved by working with owners to stop the illegal activity on their property.
