This year, May 11 - 17, 2008 will be designated Police Week in Ontario, an annual event dedicated to promoting crime prevention recognition and awareness of policing services in the community.

Brockville being a "WHO - Designated Safe Community" shares the celebration of both Police and Community Safety Week.

Since 1970, Police Week has been observed in May, coinciding with Peace Officers Memorial Day, recognized internationally on May 15. Consequently, Police Week has always been scheduled for the full week containing May 15, beginning with a Sunday and ending on a Saturday.

This year's theme is "Working with Today's Youth to Build Safer Communities". This May, we have a variety of activities that will promote positive interaction between police and young people.
