Province's first community safety officer program to launch in Thompson

Work is underway to launch Manitoba’s first community safety officer program in Thompson.

 

Justice Minister James Allum made the announcement at City Hall yesterday: "A program we hope in the future will make its way out all across the province, but it’s going to start right here. Now the program itself will involve 8 community safety officers, they will be hired by the City of Thompson, but will be in constant contact with us and with other social service agencies in Thompson".

 

The 8 community safety officers will be replacing the City’s 4 by-law officers, and will work with local RCMP to address crime prevention, youth services, and public safety.

 

They hope to have the program launched June 15.
