Police Services have known for a long time that the goal of Crime Prevention is not something that we can accomplish alone. We are very aware that it is a shared responsibility and takes an entire community to ensure the Safety and Well-Being of our residents. Police Services are often called upon to Paul Schambers Krista Miller respond to calls for service that may be better served by Acting Inspector Inspector proactive agencies with expertise in the areas of Addictions, OPP - Grey Bruce OPP - South Bruce Mental Health, Poverty and Homelessness. Working with our many Safety and Well-Being community-oriented partners, identifying these emerging risks in Grey and Bruce Counties and developing strategies to address these risks in a proactive and collaborative manner, we anticipate collective success in enhancing the Safety and Well-Being of our communities. Mary Shannon Craig Ambrose We applaud our Community members who participated in the Inspector Chief of Police CSWBP survey as well as the members of the CSWBP Advisory OPP - Collingwood/ Owen Sound Committee who have contributed to the development of this Blue Mountains Police Service Plan. We look forward to being active participants in the strategies developed to address the identified risks where required. We will also support those involved partners who will take the lead in implementing preventative strategies that fall within their area of expertise. The Police Leaders of Bruce and Grey Counties are hopeful that this is just the starting point for the CSWBP. With Kevin Zettel Robert Martin community and local government support we are optimistic Acting Chief of Police Chief of Police that this plan will be supported by leadership and appropriate Saugeen Shores West Grey funding that will result in sustainability for years to come.

Together as municipal neighbours in Bruce County and Grey County, we are pioneering a community safety and well-being plan that will identify and address priority risk areas across our region.

Our collaborative approach to creating safer communities has allowed us to make fact-based plans, asset map our collective services and strategies, share resources, and engage with our residents and key partners. As we move our plans forward, our local action teams will tackle specific risks, implement identified safety and well-being initiatives, and monitor performance and community needs. Together, we continue to create an innovative path towards building safe and healthy communities.
