Community Police Offer Support & Advice

The Wellington Community Police Centre (CPC) offers a number of programs and services that could help.  The Centre can be reached most any weekday at 613-236-1222, ext. 5870 or 5871.   

The first is Neighbourhood Watch which encourages residents to be alert to strangers in the community and to report all suspicious persons or incidents to the police.  The more reports the police receive from residents in this area the more likely it is that they will target this community for additional patrols.  Your community already subscribes to Neighbourhood Watch but continued reminders are necessary to encourage residents to make reports when necessary.

Another useful program is the Home Security Inspection Program of which residents can take advantage by simply contacting the local CPC.  This program offers the free services of trained police representatives who will visit any home from which a request is received, to examine and suggest measures that can be taken to improve the security of that home.

To schedule a free  Home Security Inspection by a trained police representative, contact our local police centre at 613-236-1222, ext. 5870 or 5871.  

Break in on Gwynne

Another report of a break-in as follows:

Home on Gwynne Avenue was broken into, possibly the eve of Canada Day. The front door was kicked in. They were clearly drug addicts or drug pushers. They left empty bottles of aspirin, Tylenol 3's and some expired antibiotics. They stole a bike from the basement, we guess as a getaway vehicle.

We were not at home and our car wasn't in the driveway but the police did say that it is unusual for break-ins to happen at night and through the front door.
