Think about your morning routine: rolling out of bed, getting dressed, grabbing your morning coffee and heading to class or work. Is your personal safety top-of-mind? Probably not.
That鈥檚 why 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Security and Halifax Regional Police (HRP) have partnered with Coburg Coffee to help make crime prevention as much a part of your daily routine as your morning cup of joe.
In a collaborative effort to increase community safety and awareness, Coburg Coffee鈥檚 cardboard coffee sleeves will feature one of three crime-prevention tips aimed at changing people鈥檚 behaviour to decrease break-and-enters, thefts from motor vehicles and liquor-related offenses.
鈥淚t鈥檚 important to get people thinking about the role that they play in their own personal safety and crime prevention, on and off campus鈥� says Jacob MacIsaac, 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 community safety officer. 鈥淲e encourage students, faculty and staff to be vigilant when it comes to safety around themselves, their property, and their identity. If you see something, say something.鈥�
To launch the initiative, staff from Dal Security and HRP worked the Coburg Coffee counter, handing out hot beverages to patrons.
The university works closely with HRP on several initiatives including HRP鈥檚 Operation Fall Back and 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Designated Police Patrol. Now in their seventh year, the programs ensure a dedicated police presence in the neighbourhood surrounding 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 on weekends from September through November, as well as key dates including Munro Day and St. Patrick鈥檚 Day. Both patrols respond to issues and concerns in the area surrounding Dal and are aimed at increasing safety in the community.
The launch of the sleeves showcasing crime prevention messages is just one of the many approaches that 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 uses to promote awareness and safety precaution to its students and the community at large. This fall, 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Security Services launched the 鈥淵ou鈥檒l Want to Know鈥� safety campaign to remind the university community to 鈥減rotect yourself, protect your identity, protect your stuff.鈥�
It also promoted the many services available on campus including free women鈥檚 self-defense courses, free access to the Tiger Patrol shuttle service, the Dal Alert emergency text messaging system, and a dedicated Security Services emergency number (494-4109).
Students say they appreciate the reminders about staying safe.
鈥淸We] should be aware and take advantage of the security services that their school has to offer,鈥� says Devon McInerney, a third-year commerce student at Dal.鈥� Even if you鈥檙e unsure about something, it鈥檚 always better to be safe than sorry.鈥�
Stay connected, stay safe
