The best way for our city to ensure safety and security for its citizens is to build strong communities where people feel a connection to their neighbourhood and their neighbours.

An important part of strong, supportive communities is building a lasting relationship with police officers on the street. The Edmonton Police Service must be encouraged to continue directing its resources to a recommitment to community policing. This would once again make us leaders in an approach that is widely regarded as the best way to create safe, livable communities.
