“Quite often it is not a lack of resources, but a disconnect between them. Through our Public Safety Strategy, we are connecting and coordinating the resources in our community.”
Superintendent Don Spicer,
HRM Public Safety Officer |
The HRM Public Safety Office was created in March 2009 in response to the Mayor's Roundtable on Violence Report.
Its primary responsibilities are to:
- strengthen existing partnerships and foster new ones with the various levels of government, social agencies, educational institutions, business associations and community/citizens’ groups to ensure a coordinated and holistic approach to address the root causes of crime and enhance public safety.
- lead and direct a coordinated response to the Mayor’s Roundtable Report recommendations.
The HRM Public Safety Office falls within the purview of Halifax Regional Police, under the direction of Superintendent Don Spicer, HRM's Public Safety Officer.
