Preventing crime in Alberta extends from rural residents like yourself all the way to the government level. Alberta Public Safety and Emergency Services (PSES) is offering grant funding to help support crime prevention efforts throughout Alberta. There are currently two grants available that the public and organizations can apply for.

Alberta Security Infrastructure Grant

The Alberta Security Infrastructure Grant provides funding for security assessments and security technology improvements for facilities that serve communities or identifiable groups at risk of hate crime. The funding can be used for staff safety training as well.

There are two separate grant applications:

• cost recovery grant - reimbursement of expenses incurred after June 1, 2021
• regular grant for security assessment, infrastructure and equipment purchases, and related training

Head to the Government of Alberta website for more information on the Alberta Security Infrastructure Grant, such as eligibility and the application process.
