Crime prevention week kicks off in London

London Police say effective crime prevention starts with strong community partnerships.

That’s why, this week, during London’s annual Crime Prevention Week, officers will have displays set-up throughout the city to show how the police and the community can work together to identify criminal activity and crime trends in order to build a safer community.

The week long initiative kicked off on Sunday and runs until Saturday.

Crime Prevention Week is supported by the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, and all police services across Ontario.

The following is a list of times and locations for the crime prevention displays:

Monday from 11-1 p.m. at White Oaks Mall, 1105 Wellington Road
