The Edmonton Police Service are teaming up with Alberta Motor Association and Kal Tire to offer a catalytic converter engraving program.
Starting July 6th to August 31st, select Kal Tire locations will provide at-cost engraving of catalytic converters.
It’s $40 per vehicle. and an additional $20 for vehicles that have more than one catalytic converter. AMA members will receive a five per cent discount.
Each vehicle will receive a pair of decals to let thieves know the vehicle’s converter is traceable.
EPS says catalytic converter thefts rose by more than 80 per cent between 2020 and 2022, and the trend is continuing in 2023.
The engraving program follows a similar program in Calgary. Programs were also started in Camrose, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.
Edmontonians are encouraged to contact their local Kal Tire to see if appointments are available.
Bill LeBlanc spoke with Derek McIntyre , Superintendant with the Edmonton Police Service about this new program and the success it has seen in other municipalities.
