Fraud Prevention Month raises awareness about fraud and what community members and individuals can do to fight fraud and assist the victims of fraud. ACCPA will be working with our partners across the province to educate Albertans on recent fraud and scams.

Planning is already underway for the ACCPA 2020 Conference. Mark your calendars for May 4-7 in EDMONTON. The conference will be held at the Delta Edmonton South Hotel & Conference Centre. We hope to see you there!

The 5th International Conference on Law Enforcement and Public Health (LEPH2019) will present a multi-focused Conference Program that will address three main areas: Substantive issues – all the particular issues in which the police-public health partnership is important; Organisational issues – how to best achieve optimal and sustainable partnerships; Reflection and methodological issues – creating a science of the public health and law enforcement intersection. LEPH2019 is another important step in further understanding the intersection between police and other law enforcement personnel and those individuals and organisations delivering public health programs in the community. A key theme for LEPH2019 will be ‘Collaborative Leadership’ which builds on previous conferences that described and analysed the issues, examined a range of actual and possible responses and touched on leadership in policy and practice.

Join us at the 2019 Annual General Meeting and Conference of the Canadian Municipal Network on Crime Prevention. Hosted by the City of Winnipeg, the 2 days will provide us with an opportunity to celebrate our members and membership which we have doubled since 2015, representing today 40 communities across the country. The AGM will take place October 16th in the morning. We hope that we will be able to reflect on how far we have come and to discuss what the future holds for CMNCP.
