Crime watch page started for Langley City

Facebook page hopes to be the eyes and ears on crime and safety concerns in the downtown.

A new Langley City crime watch page has been started on Facebook to help “take a bite of crime.”

The Facebook page, which can be searched by “City of Langley BC Crime Watch 24/7”, is open to anyone who wants to view and post to it.

If a crime has been committed, if someone seems to be acting in a suspicious manner, or there are any safety concerns that need to be posted, people are encouraged to do so on the site.

Brookswood has its own crime-related Facebook page, but it is closed which means a person has to be invited into the group.

Aldergrove also has a group but it encompasses all things about living in Aldergrove and isn’t actively used.

Another Facebook page Protecting Our Communities Maple Ridge, which mainly deals with crime and safety issues in Maple Ridge, but does touch in Langley, has around 500 followers, posting information daily, sometimes up to the minute if a crime or fire is taking place.

The Meadowridge RCMP often respond to shared concerns about a particular incident or person. The mayor in Maple Ridge also responds to residents concerns posted on that site.
