 Apply for a Pardon 
 National RCMP Website

If I wish to apply for a Pardon, when and how do I apply?
You are eligible to apply for a Pardon after three years for summary convictions and five years for indictable offences.

NOTE: You can ask the court for help if you are not sure whether you were convicted of a summary offence or an indictable offence. The Pardon Application and Pardon Application Guide are available at the front counter of the Red Deer City RCMP.


How can I find out if my bike is in the police "Lost and Found"?
If you know the make, colour and speed (the serial number is of even more assistance but not necessary) of your bike, call the bylaw department at Red Deer City Detachment at 403-406-2300. The bylaw member assigned to lost bikes will check the bike list to see if there is a match.

Bikes are held for thirty days and then donated to a charitable organization that repairs them and returns them into the community.

When and where is the police auction?
There is no set date or time for police auctions. Auctions are held at Cherry Hill Auction in Red Deer, Alberta, when items become available. Please check local newspapers for advertisements of upcoming auctions.

How do I become a Police Officer?
The national RCMP Web site provides basic recruiting information for both regular members (police officers) and civilian members. This Web site provides information on basic requirements, application process and employment opportunities within the RCMP.  There is also Recruitment Presentations held at the Red Deer City Detachment monthly. See the national RCMP Web site for dates and times or call Red Deer City Community Policing at 403-406-2483.

How do I arrange a presentation for a community group?
The Red Deer RCMP is available to make a presentation to your group, organization or school on topics like Personal Safety, Safety for Seniors, Armed Robbery, Shoplifting, Family Violence and Frauds or Scams. There is no charge for these presentations. For further information, please contact the Community Policing Department as on our RCMP Contact Page or call 403-406-2483.
