Annual Report 2020-21

In 2020-21, ALERT continued to adapt to the changing nature of serious and organized crime threats facing Albertans.

In the face of the global COVID-19 pandemic, people from across the globe drastically altered their daily lives, routines, customs, and social behaviours. The same can be said for organized crime.
