Crime Prevention Week is celebrated provincially in November across Ontario. Declared by the province in partnership with the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police, Crime Prevention Week traditionally takes place during the first full week of November. This year, November 1–7 has been designated Crime Prevention Week in Ontario.

This year’s theme is “Prevention Pays – Get Involved. It’s your Community. It’s Your Future”. This is very fitting given that the Let’s Chat About 2012 Coffee Shops are another way for community members to contribute to the future of policing and the safety of our neighbourhoods!
