South Simcoe Police Service is kicking off Ontario’s annual Crime Prevention Week from Nov. 3 to 9.

The week-long promotion of crime prevention is supported by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, the Ministry of the Solicitor General and all police services across Ontario.

The theme of this year's campaign is "Preventing Crime, Protecting People." Throughout the week, we will be highlighting ways you can join us in taking ownership of crime prevention and tips that can help protect you and your property.

Our topics will include:

  • personal safety

  • home and vehicle security

  • fraud prevention

  • internet safety

  • distraction thefts

Crime prevention is a shared responsibility. Watch for events in the community and on our social media platforms Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Follow the hashtag #CPWeek2019 as we work together to enhance the safety of our great communities.
