For further information please contact the Community Liaison Office at 330- 5020

The best way to keep crime out of our neighborhoods is to keep ourselves involved in crime prevention. Get to know your neighbours and discuss what would be the most effective for you. You can then work together to tailor a crime prevention program for your community! If you witness a crime, phone the police and try to remain on the line until a police vehicle arrives at the scene. This way you can direct them to the exact location and the individuals involved in the offence. Don’t assume that someone else has called the police… three calls received are better than no calls at all.
