Police to increase patrols in downtown this weekend

The Windsor Police Service is increasing patrols downtown in an effort to reduce crime.

From Thursday to Saturday, there will be an increased presence of uniformed police personnel on foot and bicycle.

“We have heard the concerns of business owners, residents and community advocates in the downtown core,” said Karel Degraaf, Acting Superintendent, of Patrol Services. “By fostering open dialogue and trust, we hope to stimulate collaborative strategies that address the issues that matter most to the people who live and work in the area.”

Officers will engage with business owners, residents and others in the downtown area. Police say this will help them make resource allocations in the future.
