May 14, 2012/ PTBOCANADA

This week is Police Week and you can learn more by popping into Landsowne Place and chatting with the Peterborough Lakefield Community Police at their booth. Each day of the week focuses on a different aspect that police services provide in the community. There are prizes to be won, such as a USB memory stick, a kid's jersey signed by Mark Savard and a bicycle. Also pick up pamphlets such as The Canadian Edition of the Little Black Book of Scams to help learn to identify fraud.
