The province is investing over $6 million across three years to boost policing measures across Ontario.
Funded through the Proceeds of Crime Front-Line Policing Grant program, 23 law enforcement and community partner projects will be supported.
Creating Safer Spaces Lanark is receiving $300,000.
It focuses on increasing understanding within the community of the need to create safe and inclusive spaces for everyone. The money will help Lanark OPP to provide more outreach to students and the community.
And the SFPS is receiving $85,500 for what they’re calling Engaging our Community Youth in Crime Prevention: A Smiths Falls Police Service Collaborative Initiative.
