POLICE
WEEK – MAY 11 TO 17, 2008
Police
Week in Ontario is an annual event dedicated to promoting
crime prevention, recognition and awareness of policing services in the
community. Since 1970, Police Week has
been observed in May to coincide with Peace Officers Memorial Day, recognized
internationally on May 15th.
The
chosen theme for the week, “Working
with today’s youth to build safer communities” will promote positive interaction
between police and young people. is This theme ties
in with the OPP Vision of “Safe
communities, Secure Ontario.”
Officers
within the Ontario Provincial Police interact with youth and
adults in many different ways both in the communities and schools they
police. Police officers are part of
our community and have very important jobs; working hard to prevent crimes
and making sure everyone follows the rules.
They are
here to help you, your family, your friends, your neighbours and every person
who lives, works or visits Ontario.
Our police officers work on building healthy and trusting
relationships with people of all ages.
Within
the Killaloe/Whitney OPP Detachment area, you can
look for officers in your community interacting with youth through school
visits and presentations, traffic stops, lockdown drills and visit our booth
on Bay Days on May 17 to wrap up the week.
Keeping
our communities and youth safe is everyone’s responsibility. Working together we are stronger and
safer.
