The Peterborough Police Service is participating in Crime Prevention Week 2023, from Nov. 5 to 11 with ‘Awareness. Engagement. Prevention’ as this year’s theme.
“Crime prevention is an important part of community safety and a way everyone can participate in keeping their communities safe. It’s important that residents report crime or suspicious activity to police,” said Chief Stuart Bettes. “Through reports, whether it’s 9-1-1, the non-emergency line or online reporting portal, we can learn about the crime trends in our community and work toward proactive measures. This way we can ensure that we have the right information to have the right people in the right place to do the right thing.”
The Peterborough Police Service Auxiliary Unit conducts several crime prevention audits for homes and businesses.
Police are announcing several crime prevention tips throughout the week.
For emergencies or to report a crime in progress please call 9-1-1.
