Council Overview

CS&CPC's mandate is to provide connections within, and for, our community of individuals, business sectors, service groups, local, regional, provincial and federal governments and provincial, national and global crime prevention authorities to aid in the development of crime prevention capabilities. Our goal is to raise awareness about the root causes of crime. The root causes of crime comprise many risk factors that when combined afford a higher probability that crime occurs. A community that works together to understand and manage the root causes of crime will prevent crime.

The Community Safety and Crime Prevention Council exists "because a connected community is a safer community."

Mission, Vision and Values define the focus of CS&CPC; that crime prevention involves making every resident, every community agency, every business and service a part of the solution.

As a community initiative, every citizen within Waterloo Region is invited to attend and participate in the CS&CPC meetings, held monthly. You can obtain a complete schedule, meeting location and a copy of the minutes of previous meetings. To request the minutes prior to the beginning of the calendar year please contact the CS&CPC offices.

The Governance policy attempts to answer the questions associated with the operational and aspirational goals of CS&CPC.
