In the spotlight

Did you know

Public Safety Canada does research in a number of areas including corrections, crime prevention, emergency management and law enforcement. Our research informs policy decisions here and around the world.

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.
