| Burnside Watch volunteers give of their time and talents in an effort to prevent crime in the Burnside Business Park and Dartmouth Crossing areas. Working in cooperation with Halifax Regional Police, the group conducts random patrols both day and night and reports suspicious activity to police. They relay information about break and enters, alarms, suspicious persons or vehicles, fires, accidents, and drivers who appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. |
