Crime Prevention Week November, 3 to 9, 2024
The public and the media are invited to celebrate Crime Prevention Week in Durham Region starting this weekend.
From November, 3 - 9, 2024, Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) will support Ontario’s Crime Prevention Week by sharing tips for keeping yourself and your property safe. This year’s theme is Awareness in Action: Keeping Ontario Safe Together.”
We want the residents of Durham Region to feel supported in keeping our neighbourhoods, schools, places of business, public places and online communities safe from crime. Being aware of crime and how to prevent being a victim of criminal activity is something everyone can do. If we mobilize the entire community, there will be a greater impact on the wellness and safety of our residents.
Our members and community partner agencies will be focusing on educating residents about crime prevention at a DRPS information booth at The Shops at Pickering City Centre. The booth will have information about current crime trends including, frauds, scams, identity theft, vehicle theft, as well as tips for home and business security. There will also be information on human trafficking and intimate partner violence.
