If you see suspicious activity near your home or elsewhere in the West End, please call 911 to report it. In addition to immediate action, where appropriate, the police keep statistics that will be used to determine future policing needs.



WECAN believes that the most effective way to police a neighbourhood is to have police officers on foot patrolling alleyways, lanes, streets and parks. Having officers on the beat builds community and creates a sense of safety and well-being.
