Community Safety Initiative - "Multi-unit Dwelling Houses"

COMMUNITY SAFETY INITIATIVE

Safety and Community issues present in a variety of forms.  Over a number of years as a Police Service we have been challenged to respond and resolve effectively safety and community concerns involving “multi-unit dwelling houses”.  The challenge has been to address the issues in an effective and permanent way.  These dwellings present several challenges and traditional approaches to community safety issues have not proven to be as effective or efficient in some cases.

 

The Winnipeg Police Service North End Community Support Unit has been partnering with City of Winnipeg and Provincial Departments over the last several months to address safety and community issues.  They are as follows:
  

·       City of Winnipeg Community Services

-      By-law Inspectors

-   Health Inspectors

-      Fire Inspectors

-      Zoning

-      Housing

·       Province of Manitoba Social Services

·       Province of Manitoba Public Safety Investigators 

 

Several multi unit dwellings in the North End of Winnipeg have been identified during this process and corrective measures have been undertaken as a result of area residents and business complaints, calls for service, Community network information/partnerships, 311 and complaints to the Province of Manitoba Safer Communities Inspectors.
