Preventing crimes before they can occur is always the best way to keep our communities safe. That’s the message during Crime Prevention Week running through November 9th.
The St. Thomas Police are using the week to share some important messaging with residents about what they can do to keep their families, neighbourhoods, schools, and workplaces safe from criminal activity.
Corporate Communications Coordinator, Samantha Wakefield shares the focus for Friday.
The video suite was made possible by the funds received from the Victim Support Grant, which enabled the St. Thomas Police Service to further efforts in linking victims with essential agencies and organizations in St. Thomas, all dedicated to fostering harmony, supporting survivors, and amplifying voices.
R.I.S.E. which stands for Resiliency, Inspiring, and Supporting Victims with Empathy, encapsulates our mission stressed the STPS. To empower and uplift survivors of intimate partner violence by connecting them to agencies in our city that inspire hope and provide the necessary tools for survivors to navigate their journey towards healing.
The St. Thomas Police Service is deeply committed to collaborating with local agencies and organizations that share the vision of a community where survivors are supported and empowered.
