More N.B. crime prevention strategies planned for year ahead
North Battleford Community Safety Coordinator Herb Sutton is hoping 2018 will be a big year for crime reduction and prevention in the community.
He said two new projects, led by the city’s Safety, Acceptance, Guidance and Empowerment (SAGE) multi-partner committee, will help provide some new strategies to deal with crime.
One major initiative involves bringing together municipal, provincial, federal and First Nations government, to be part of a coalition that “will help drive community safety initiatives in the community.”
“Community safety can’t fall on the shoulders of the municipality,” Sutton said. “It has to be shared by all four levels of government. That’s a big project we’re working on right now.”
