Building Safe Communities By Cst. Roy Moe
Those working with communities in traditional, proactive policing models are seeing a strong trend taking place. Communities are recognizing that they need to focus on the broader issue of “neighbourhood safety,” rather than only on “crime prevention.”
Neighbourhood safety is one of the most important components of a strong sense of community, and it results from caring adults who participate in the “informal social control” that characterizes their communities.
We all know areas of the city where we sense safety, and other areas where we do not. But we have to recognize that community safety is not imposed because a police patrol car drives past your home.
