Dear
Stakeholders:
The Ministry of
Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) is working with its
inter-ministerial and policing partners to develop a provincial crime
prevention strategy. The first phase of this
process included the development of the Crime
Prevention in Ontario: A Framework for Action booklet, which is intended to
raise awareness and to promote the benefits of crime prevention to Ontario
communities and set the stage for further crime prevention work.
MCSCS has moved
to Phase II of the initiative which entails community engagement with a number of interested communities across Ontario. As one of its policing partners, the
Toronto Police Services Board, on behalf of MCSCS, will be hosting a community
engagement session and would like to
invite you to attend. The consultation
session will be held as follows:
Thursday, November 14, 2013
5:00 – 7:00 p.m.
40 College Street, Toronto Ontario
2nd Floor Auditorium
1.
What
types of crime prevention/community safety strategies and programs does your
community currently have in place?
2.
Is
there anything that could help your community enhance your crime
prevention/community safety strategies and programs?
3.
Are
there any barriers in your community that are preventing you from addressing
concerns or gaps (systemic, disorder, quality of life, crime, etc.)?
The objective of the consultation is to develop key deliverables which
provide analysis of the crime issues, risk factors, challenges,
resources/partnerships in Ontario’s communities, as well as an overview of
promising crime prevention practices currently being used in Ontario.
I very much hope
that you will join us in this discussion and look forward to your
assistance. Please confirm your
attendance with Karlene Bennett, via email at karlene.bennett@tpsb.ca, or by
telephone at 416 808-7265, if you would like to participate.
Thank you for
taking the time to participate in this process.
Sincerely,
Alok Mukherjee
Chair, Toronto
Police Services Board
