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.

Build & Maintain Positive Relations within the Community

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