Today, the Chatham-Kent Police Service kicks off Crime Prevention Week, which runs from November 7 to 13, 2021.
The week-long promotion of crime prevention is supported by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP), the Ministry of the Solicitor General and police services across Ontario.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us the value of making sure our homes, neighbourhoods, schools, and places of businesses make safety and well-being a priority. So many people in our community feel anxious. That’s why our police service is promoting crime prevention as a key ingredient to safer communities,” said Chief Gary Conn, in a media release.
Chief Conn noted that Ontario communities are among the safest in the world, but community safety and well-being takes hard work and collaboration.
That’s why the Chatham-Kent Police Service is proud to partner with the Government of Ontario, local government and community leaders, young people, and businesses to prevent crime throughout our community during Crime Prevention Week and throughout the year, police officials say.
