Central Alberta's crossroads on the QEII

Red Deer sits on the QEII Highway (Highway 2), which the City of Red Deer calls the busiest highway in Alberta, between Calgary and Edmonton. Highway 11, the David Thompson Highway, meets the QEII at an interchange and enters the city as 67 Street, linking Red Deer with Sylvan Lake and Rocky Mountain House to the west. The City says a business here can reach over 81 per cent of Alberta's 4.4 million people within a two-hour drive, a reach that matters to trucking and warehousing companies serving the whole province.

Heavy industry shapes the local yards. The City says virtually every component used in the oil and gas industry is manufactured in Red Deer, and that central Alberta has the strongest employment concentration in agriculture-related work. Around the city that means fabrication shops, equipment yards, trucking terminals and agricultural businesses, many on open industrial lots along the highway or in parks such as Queens Business Park, which the City calls its newest industrial business park. Many of these lots hold equipment and materials worth protecting.

Property crime is a steady cost even when the numbers improve. Red Deer RCMP reported 23 thefts over $5,000 and 76 break and enters in the city from October to December 2025, both lower than a year earlier. Sigma's agents watch your cameras live around the clock. When AI detection spots a person or vehicle after hours, an agent checks it, talks the intruder down through the site's speakers and escalates to police or fire when needed. Yard checks can add damage inspections and parking reports, all backed by video.
