Welcome to the Morinville Citizens on Patrol web site. We are a unique and diverse group of committed volunteers dedicated to working towards a safe and crime-free community. We have been active for over 15 years and are always looking for new members.

The safety of our volunteers is paramount - C.O.P. volunteers NEVER BECOME INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. We only observe and report what we see.

Our Objectives

We serve the citizens of Morinville and Cardiff by working in partnership with the R.C.M.P. and the community. We conduct vehicle, bicycle, and foot patrols, vehicle speed education sessions and seasonal theft from vehicles awareness programs.

This web site is intended to attract new members and to help existing Morinville C.O.P. members stay up to date and to have immediate access to forms and reference materials. Please send any suggestions or comments about the site to webmaster@morinvillecop.org Email to or about the Morinville C.O.P. organization, membership or other inquiries should be directed to cop@morinvillecop.org

Speed kills!

One out of every four fatal crashes involve speeding.

The chance of a pedestrian being killed increases exponentially with speed:

At 40 km/h, the probability of pedestrian death is approximately 20%.
At 60 km/h, the probability of pedestrian death is approximately 80%.
Death is virtually certain at speeds in excess of 80 km/h.
(Source: Alberta Traffic Safety Plan)

Driving a few km/h over the posted speed limit:

Decreases your field of vision and your peripheral vision.
Extends the distance required to stop your vehicle in emergency situations.
Increases the chances that you will lose control of your vehicle.
Increases the probability of death or injury if there is a crash.

The difference between life and death

Morinville speed limits:

Town limits (unless otherwise posted) : 50 km / h

School zones (7:30 am - 4:30 pm) : 30 km / h

Playground zones (8:30 am - 1 h after sunset): 30 km / h
