Some have already answered this question on facebook. But here it is in case some missed it that might want to answer.
Property Crime and petty theft has increased in Kamloops over the last couple of years. We have initiated the Cap program on the North shore and have noticed an improvement with their presence. We have a great presence of RCMP as well as the re-emergence of neighbourhood block watches. There are further design and landscaping techniques we can utilize that also deters criminal behaviour. What are your thoughts on some provisions and/or steps within councils jurisdiction that could be implemented in order to reduce property and vehicle crime.
I totally believe in the steps you have mentioned, also I just helped implement a block watch on our block and have seen an impoverishment in shady people around, I will also push for more neighborhood associations and give them a chance to submit there concerns to city council . Better lighting and more police and bylaws in high crime areas is also be a good tool .
