Did you know
We participate in up to four major exercises each year. The National Exercise Program (NEP) involves training courses and operation centre exercises that put our National Emergency Response System to the test. Governments, first responders and military officials work together, simulating emergency scenarios such as natural disasters and terrorist attacks.
Crime prevention
Public Safety Canada's National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC)
is responsible for implementing the National Crime
Prevention Strategy (NCPS). Our work provides national leadership on effective
and cost-effective ways to prevent and reduce crime by intervening on the risk factors
before crime happens. Our approach is to promote the implementation of effective
crime prevention practices.
We work closely with partners and stakeholders in the provinces and territories
to develop and implement results-driven programs that target specific crime issues
in regions and communities across Canada. We provide communities with tools, knowledge
and support to undertake crime prevention initiatives in communities large and small
across Canada.
