Crime prevention initiatives play a pivotal role in maintaining public safety, and the Chilliwack RCMP recognizes the invaluable support provided by over 80 committed crime prevention volunteers and 42 Restorative Justice volunteers in our community. Their service contributes to the level of public safety and peace of mind enjoyed by the residents of the City of Chilliwack.
Chilliwack Crime Prevention Services serves as a wealth of information and resources, offering a range of educational programs, workshops, and lectures aimed at empowering individuals and fostering a safer community environment.
We are grateful to the dedicated volunteers who selflessly donate their time
, says Cpl. Carmen Kiener. Each day you help support the work of the RCMP and your contributions do not go unnoticed, your commitment to public service is an inspiration to us all.
Volunteers offer valuable services to the community through the following programs:
Block Watch
Neighbours on a block form a cohesive communication chain, aided by a block map detailing names, telephone numbers and addresses. Together, they watch over each other’s homes and promptly report any suspicious activity to the police.
Speed Watch – This initiative addresses speeding and traffic concerns within the community through a multifaceted approach including community awareness campaigns, neighbourhood action and data collection.
City Watch
Working under the guidance of the Chilliwack RCMP, City Watch volunteers patrol designated areas in marked vehicles, serving as an additional set of eyes and ears for the RCMP.
Crime Free Multi-Housing
This program equips resident managers, business owners, and property owners with essential knowledge and strategies to safeguard their properties against criminal and illicit activities.
Victim Services
Volunteers in this program provides emotional support to victims of crime or trauma, facilitating communication between victims, the court system, law enforcement, and community organizations. Additionally, they offer helpful referral services to assist individuals in accessing necessary resources.
Restorative Justice
Volunteers work with both youth and adult offenders, offering an effective alternative to the criminal justice system by emphasizing accountability, problem solving and community healing.
