"The Citizens' Crime Prevention Association of Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the most active crime prevention groups in the country. this group shows what can be done when police and citizens work together."

The Citizens’ Crime Prevention Association of Newfoundland and Labrador was formed in 1988. It is comprised of police and citizens who are concerned with making our communities better and safer places in which to live. It was felt at that time that the traditional responses to crime in our communities were insufficient and that other responses were needed.

The response that was seen as perhaps offering the greatest opportunity for success was the principle of the safer communities approach to crime prevention. The strategies highlighted by this approach and used by our communities are:

The Association has formed partnerships with the two major police forces in the province. By working closely together with both police forces, the association has been able to ensure that all areas of the province have access to crime prevention committees if they desire.
Since its inception in 1988, member committees of the association have undertaken literally thousands of crime prevention projects in their communities. The local citizens’ groups identify problems in the area and work to try to eliminate those problems. The provincial association is there to offer whatever support is needed. Today, there are 28 local member committees representing citizens and police throughout Newfoundland and Labrador.
