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.
Encourage expansion of Neighbourhood Watch programs. Take an active role in this. Stop congregating all social services in one hub. I volunteer at the Kamloops Child Development Centre on Holway. Within one block of us are so many such services that provide support for their clientele yet you can't have a cannabis store that close to a school. Where is the logic in that?
