Several volunteers give many hours of their time to help the police and the community. This program uses qualified and dedicated police officers who visit service clubs, women's groups, senior citizen homes, and schools to give tips on various topics of interest such as security at home, on the streets, while travelling outside of town, education on illegal drugs in our area, violence in relationships, etc. This program is a citizen-led project and makes use of the NB Crime Stoppers Tip Line to assist the Bathurst Police in apprehending and prosecuting criminals. A monetary reward is available should your information lead to an arrest. Crime Prevention is . . . . . .
Crime prevention is about people working together.
Neighbours working with neighbours to prevent break-ins, parents working with teachers to reduce vandalism, educators working with the media to combat child abuse, women working with women to fight rape, letter carriers watching out for seniors, rural citizens working with police to grapple with rustling, pharmacists working with parents to combat drug abuse, and citizens of all ages joining together to fight drunk driving. We're all neighbours and we can all join in these efforts to reduce crime. Together we do make a difference. Understanding the nature of the problem and knowing what to do to avoid being a victim of crime can help you. The following common-sense advice can be effective when you follow these tips.
