Update, March 28, 2022. We lost our Bonnie Doon Watch coordinator when Darryl Lagerquist had to move away. If you have a strong interest in neighbourhood safety and can spend a small amount of time each week to keep communications flowing, please write to us, [email protected].
Darryl Lagerquist is Bonnie Doon's volunteer heading up our Crime & Safety efforts. In the fall of 2020 Darryl began recruiting residents to help reduce crime and improve safety. Write to Darryl at [email protected].

An Introduction To Bonnie Doon Watch, December 2020
by Darryl Lagerquist
Dear Neighbours,
I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you – my name is Darryl Lagerquist and I am Bonnie Doon’s newly appointed Neighbourhood Watch (NW) Coordinator. By day, I am a Community Consultant and work closely with Indigenous communities across Alberta supporting their community development goals.
Like you, I love living in Bonnie Doon, but recently, I’ve been concerned with crime, safety, and our community’s well-being. Some of us have witnessed, firsthand, activity that makes us feel unsafe to live in Bonnie Doon. We don’t want that! I believe that with good neighbours who talk with one another about what they’ve experienced, combined with strong communication and collaboration with our agency partners (e.g. Edmonton Police Service), we can see improvement in our community.
As a preliminary step towards formalizing an NW Watch group in Bonnie Doon, we have started conversations with a group of “Block Connectors” who are also community members concerned with safety in Bonnie Doon. If you are interested in getting more involved with crime prevention and community safety in our community and want to be part of the conversation, please email me at [email protected].
Stay tuned to our newsletter for more information on this initiative in the months ahead!
Crime and Safety Tip:
Did you know that reporting crime, even crime that seems minor, helps the City of Edmonton and Edmonton Police Service effectively allocate resources across our City? It's true! No matter the crime, report it to Edmonton Police Service’s Non-Emergency line at (780) 423-4567 or #377. You can also report certain crimes online at https://www.edmontonpolice.ca/ContactEPS/OnlinePropertyCrime.
