NOVEMBER 2013 - Crime Prevention Breakfast with RCMP “D” Division’s Commanding Officer A/Commr. Kevin Brosseau
Assistant Commissioner Brosseau outlined the current context for crime prevention in the Province of Manitoba with a particular focus on Manitoba's rural and remote communities. Many challenges are being faced within these communities including relatively high crime rates, in particular with respect to violent crime, lower than average graduation rates and health related concerns. With that context in mind, several initiatives that are successfully addressing these issues were highlighted that are positively impacting communities one individual at a time.
The prevailing reactive model of law enforcement is one that is unsustainable in modern society and fails to address the underlying root causes of crime. The police alone cannot implement and advance community safety and as a result, the community must be a full partner in preventing and responding to problems. That is, a coordinated, collaborative approach to community well-being where citizens, community organizations, police and other stakeholders work together and focus on dealing with issues before they manifest themselves as criminality will contribute to building healthier communities.
