Who Can Refer?
Police Referrals: The Rural Red Deer Restorative Justice program is available to wrong doers (youth and adult) and those they have harmed, who reside in or who are served by Blackfalds RCMP K division , Lacombe Police Service, Bashaw, Rimbey, Sylvan Lake and other Central Alberta RCMP detachment areas when requested, as a means of diversion from the criminal justice system.
The Alberta Crown Prosecutors Office: People who are harmed, or people who have caused harm may request Restorative Justice through the Crown, or their legal representation. Cases may be referred at various phases in the criminal justice process including: diversion/pre-charge, post charge- pre-conviction. We ask that the referring prosecutor contact us to discuss the case.
School Referrals: Local school principals, counsellors, or SROs may refer for those incidents where it is felt that harms caused / received by students would benefit from a reparative and restorative approach
Community Members: Community members can access restorative justice if there is a continued conflict that they believe could be resolved through the restorative process.
