Policing Priorities

Crime Reduction

• “Hot Spot” patrols. Extra patrols in identified areas to prevent or reduce crime through increased police presence.
• Offender Checks. Regular monitoring and checking of known property criminals.
• Lock it or Lose it Program.

Community Engagement

Traffic Enforcement

• Focus on prevention of offences through education and visibility.

Foot and Bike Patrols

• Designed to get officers to interact more frequently with the public.

School Patrols 

• Each school has been assigned an officer who conducts regular in-person visits with students, staff and parents, as well as traffic safety patrols.

Coffee with a Cop

• Do you have questions about crime reduction? Thoughts about community engagement strategies? Something on your mind? The first event takes place every third Wednesday of the month at the Devon Community Centre. Our local police officers will be there to engage in conversation and answer all of your questions!

Other Engagement

• This includes participation in parades, community walks, committees and other non-enforcement based activities.
