Innisfail RCMP, with assistance from the Alberta Sheriff's Fugitive Apprehension Sheriffs Support Team (FASST), engaged in a targeted enforcement operation attempting to locate and arrest offenders who were currently on warrants in the areas of Innisfail and Red Deer County.
From March 4 to March 6, 2025, Innisfail RCMP and FASST executed a three-day operation where they arrested 16 people and executed 22 arrest warrants. These arrest warrants ranged from provincial violation to Criminal Code warrants. Furthermore, this operation also led to the arrest of Joshua Atkinson (50), a parole offender who was on a Canada wide warrant for being unlawfully at large.
During the three-day operation, officers conducted dozens of door knocks and phone calls. Innisfail RCMP and FASST would like to thank the public for their patience and understanding.
Innisfail RCMP conduct operations like this multiple times throughout the year to ensure public safety, and to ensure participants of the justice system complete the required process.
