Individuals are making a difference in crime prevention, as community volunteers and in their own homes. As volunteers with organizations such as Neighbourhood Watch, Citizens on Patrol, Mothers against Drunk Driving, and community Restorative Justice agencies—and as team coaches, youth mentors, or chaperones at a school dance— Nova Scotians are donating countless hours to keep their neighbourhoods safe.

We're still building up our community site resources, including upcoming Community Crime Profiles and a Community Support Toolkit. In the meantime, take some time to read about how other Nova Scotia community groups have banded together to fight crime in our Communities in Action section.
