Regional Police Conduct Crime Prevention Initiative
Feb 12/13
Waterloo Region, Ontario ––Waterloo Regional Police are launching a
crime prevention initiative focusing on residential areas surrounding the
university district.
Officers from North Division, assisted by Auxiliary Members, will be going
door-to-door this evening (Feb 11) starting at 6pm to speak with residents and
deliver flyers containing crime prevention and home security tips.
Though some of the following tips are of interest specifically to student
residents, most apply to all members of the community.
Keep all doors locked, even when you are at home, day and night.
If you share a home with roommates who have different schedules
develop a plan to carry keys and make an effort to lock all doors
each time you leave the residence.
If you are going to be away, let your roommates know so they are
aware of who should and who shouldn’t be inside.
Introduce yourself to your neighbours. Knowing each other makes it
easier to identify suspicious behavior. Contacting police promptly
increases the likelihood of suspect apprehension.
If you see suspicious activity or someone enters your residence
under questionable circumstances, ensure your safety first and call
911 as soon as possible. Stay on the line with the operator to
provide as much detail as you can. This will assist the responding
officers in locating suspects.
