National Police Week on until May 18

PRINCE GEORGE- Committed to serve together. That is the theme of National Police Week, a seven-day public awareness campaign that encourages understanding between police and the communities they serve.

This year, RCMP look to acknowledge the crucial partnerships built between officer, with other first responder, and the people of the community. The force adds that “It is this collaboration that forms the cornerstone of effective crime prevention and public safety initiatives.”

“Through education and public awareness campaigns, crime prevention initiatives, and responding to emergency service calls, we strive to maintain and enhance public safety throughout Prince George. We know this goal is best accomplished by strengthening the partnerships we have with the people and organizations in our community and are committed to serve together,” says Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.

National Police Week seeks to encourage people to foster open dialogue, understanding, and mutual respect to build safer, more inclusive neighbourhoods where people feel protected.
