Policing and the Downtown |
On May 2nd, in partnership with the Charlottetown Police Department, we hosted a very successful presentation/Q&A session with Chief Bard MacConnell and 6 of his officers from various departments.
The room was at capacity. I think all who attended would agree their time was well spent, their questions were answered, and they left better informed. We are lucky to have a very engaged police department, with great leadership, who really understand and appreciate the importance of the downtown and the challenges we face.
Next Steps:
We want to keep the conversations and the engagement going, so here’s the next Opportunity for DCI Members:
-
One on One Meeting with Sergeant Melissa Craswell, Community Policing. During this time, she, or a member of her team, would explain things such as bylaws, best practice, panhandling, trespass notices, or other such things affecting your area/business.
-
Walk the Beat with the Chief: Spend an hour walking the downtown with Chief MacConnell, discuss issues on the street seen from street level, through the eyes and ears of the business/property Owner/manager.
Action:
If you would like to participate in either of these opportunities, please contact Maria@DowntownCharlottetown.com to be added to the list for scheduled bookings.
Note: There will be a limited capacity for each, but every effort will be made to accommodate interested members.
