Meet “Constable Scarecrow,” a life-size metal cut-out of a traffic officer that will be on patrol next to roadways in high-traffic and high-collision areas in Lloydminster, Alta. “Constable Scarecrow” is a life-size metal cut-out of an RCMP officer being used in Lloydminster, Alta., to trick would-be bad drivers into obeying the law. Lloydminster’s Constable Scarecrow is the first of his kind in Alberta and the second in Canada. However, Constable Scarecrow will have his first patrol in June, where he will be posted outside of a school. “We’re hoping that Constable Scarecrow is going to curb some of those bad behaviours and hopefully slow people down,” Hagel said.
