New Brunswickers can feel safe in their communities, knowing that there are a number of ongoing efforts to combat crime around the province.
Government is working with policing agencies to address crime in our communities.
This year, government has invested $3 million to create a Safer Communities Program to address crime in the province.
Everyone has a role to play in keeping communities safe.
You can help make your community safer by reporting crime to the police and by looking out for your friends and neighbours.
If you know of a crime, report it – no matter how small or insignificant it seems. Your information can help police identify patterns and know what crimes are happening and where.
Reporting crimes online frees up police officers for urgent calls and to respond to non-emergency calls faster.
If it’s a matter of life or death, call 9-1-1.
If you have a crime to report or non-urgent information that could help an investigation, contact:
- your local police force
- or Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online
You can make a confidential complaint about a property you believe is involved in illegal activities like selling drugs, by contacting our Safer Communities Program at 1-877-826-2122, or by email at SCAN@gnb.ca.
