Safer Communities And Neighbourhoods (SCAN)

The Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods (SCAN) unit helps Albertans to take back their neighbourhoods and deal with problem properties. A member of the SCAN unit will confidentially and discreetly contact you about your concerns.

If there’s a suspicious property in your neighbourhood, do not investigate it or approach the occupants. Report the property by either:

Call 211

Call 2-1-1 if you’re in need of community or social service support but are unsure who to call. 2-1-1 allows individuals to navigate through the complex network of human services available by speaking with a Information & Referral Specialist. Callers can explain their situation in their own words and get the help needed on their own terms. 211 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. 211 staff are completely non-judgmental and provide confidential access to community program and service information. You may reach 211 by texting INFO to #211 on your cell phone. Information is also available online.

Call 311

If you’re in need of non-emergency (emergency meaning requiring ambulance, fire, and police emergency services — which you would instead call 911 for) government services, call 311. Calling 311 will direct residents, businesses, and visitors to a central point of contact from which they can specify their city needs. City of Edmonton information and services may be in regards to, but not limited to: transit information, program registration, and registering a bylaw complaint. More information is available online.

Effective February 2, 2020 [1]

The hours for 311 are being reduced from 24 to 12 hours a day. The new hours are from 7am to 7pm, seven days a week (closed statutory holidays).
