By Jo-Anne Procter He may be #94 on the fi eld, but Jackson Jeffcoat is currently #1 in the hearts of students and staff at Stony Mountain School. The six-foot-three defensive end Winnipeg Blue Bombers Grey Cup champion paid a visit to the school last Thursday to talk about his cham- pionship and what it took to get there. Jeffcoat had two of the six sacks in the Blue Bombers’ 33-12 Grey Cup victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in Calgary on Nov. 24.

We are following through on our commitment to implement the Safer Streets, Safer Lives Action Plan and this support to the RCMP is an important step.” Crime reduction teams focus on serious, prolifi c offend- ers and drug dealers. The RCMP’s current four-member team in the north will receive funding to expand to six of- fi cers. Funding will also be used to create two new teams in the RCMP’s eastern and western districts, with fi ve of- fi cers to be recruited for each location. Funding will also allow another four offi cers to be added to the D Division Enforcement Team, a centralized unit that targets criminal organizations and street gangs that traffi c drugs and guns throughout the province. “We are pleased to be able to expand our crime reduction and enforcement teams to ensure there are dedicated re- sources throughout the province,” said assistant commis- sioner Jane MacLatchy, commanding offi cer of the Mani- toba RCMP. “Those who produce and traffi c illicit drugs destroy lives, homes and communities.

As part of this new investment with the RCMP, the province will also fund two new crime analyst positions, who will help identify criminal trends and hotspots to in- form enforcement. The speech from the throne also highlighted additional investments expected this year, focused on improving public safety for rural Manitobans: • enhanced resources for the provincial public safety investigation (PSI) unit, which investigates confi dential complaints about properties where chronic unlawful ac- tivity takes place; • support for a new provincewide Crime Stoppers cam-

As outlined in the province’s Policing and Public Safety Strategy, Manitoba will continue to collaborate with law enforcement agencies to develop a provincial intelligence model, which will centralize information about serious criminal activity, organized crime and other safety con- cerns. This is a longer-term initiative that will help sup- port intelligence-driven policing and collaboration among police agencies and other public safety partners. Community mobilization hubs will continue as a prov- en method of connecting at-risk young people and their families with wrap-around community supports. Gov- ernment will continue to invest approximately $1 million annually to establish, enhance and support these locally led partnerships that bring together police, social service agencies and families to address underlying issues and reduce contact with the criminal justice system. “Targeted investments will help ensure police are placed 19113gm4 where and when they’re needed, and be able to respond 19121gm3 based on timely, accurate and insightful information,” said Cullen. “We are committed to investing in human re- sources, technology, and other tools at our disposal to ad- dress rural crime and other public safety issues affecting Manitobans. Partnerships with law enforcement, commu- nities, service providers and other systems will help build healthier, safer lives for all Manitobans.” The RCMP is Manitoba’s provincial police service of re- cord.
