Safer Communities
You can contribute to a safer community and lower crime statistics simply by changing your behavior.
  • Learn about frauds and educate the vulnerable people in your life - seniors, new Canadians, anyone you think may be vulnerable to a sob story or to aggressive, threatening phone calls, emails, texts or other electronic means of communicating. Cyber Crime is expanding rapidly around the globe and is a very serious threat to all of us. Those responsible often operate off-shore, which makes investigating and prosecuting extremely complex and difficult. Hence it is so important to protect your personal information.
  • Never leave wallets or purses in vehicles.
  • Don't leave your keys in your vehicle.
  • Lock your house/out buildings when you leave the yard.
  • Never leave your vehicle unlocked and running.
  • Take better care to protect your personal information
  • Let your neighbors know if you're going to be gone for an extended period of time, or have someone check your place on a regular basis while you're gone.
  • Report suspicious vehicles as soon as possible.
