Crime Prevention - What We Do
Community Policing and Crime Prevention programs within the Regional District of
Central Okanagan are managed by the Crime Prevention Coordinator.
The Coordinator takes a leadership role in the organization and delivery of a wide
variety of programs that range from public education to direct prevention activities.
Presentations by staff and volunteers are available to groups and businesses to
help prevent crime before it happens.
Community participation is a key component in the war against crime.
Over 250 volunteers are actively involved in the Community Policing and Crime
Prevention Programs. Under the direction of the Crime Prevention Coordinator these
volunteers assist the RCMP and other key partners, including ICBC, in making the
community a safer place to live.
The Menu buttons offer a more detailed description of each program and service available
from Community Policing and Senior Safety and Scams to, "How you can become a Volunteer."
There are also a variety of Crime Prevention organizations that you may wish to
link to, such as
Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers, the British
Columbia Crime Prevention Association, the
British Columbia Citizens Patrol Network, the
British Columbia Youth Police Network , PhoneBusters, the
RCMP website, the
National Crime Prevention Centre, and
Heads Up BC.
