CrimeCanada.ca Safety Perspective
From the perspective of CrimeCanada.ca, missing youth alerts are among the most time-sensitive and community-dependent safety issues in Prince Edward Island. Young people may be especially vulnerable when away from trusted adults and familiar environments, which is why fast, accurate information-sharing across the community is essential.
We encourage residents to stay observant in public places such as shopping areas, transit stops, parks, and waterfront locations. If something feels out of place—especially if you believe you recognize one or both of these teens—err on the side of caution and contact the Prince District RCMP at 902-436-9300 or PEI Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Do not attempt to confront or detain anyone yourself; instead, provide police with as much detail as you can about the time, location, and direction of travel. Community vigilance, combined with official law enforcement efforts, is central to our shared goal of keeping youth safe.
