As you hunt for Boxing Day deals, don’t forget to bring packages inside and avoid leaving them unattended in your car.

If you have gotten a big-ticket item, break down the box and turn it inside out to deter thieves.

#LockItOrLoseIt

[NRPS @NiagRegPolice]

An idling car is an easy target for thieves. Always turn off your vehicle, take your keys, and lock it up—even for quick stops. Don’t give car thieves the gift they’re waiting for!

Motorists, when lights are flashing at a community crosswalk you must stop to allow pedestrians to cross safely.

Great discussion surrounding personal safety, bullying and their desire to see more police officers on the streets and in their schools.

Today, we wear orange in honour of residential school survivors and in memory of those who did not. May their stories remind us of the importance of understanding, education, respect, and meaningful change. #TruthAndReconciliation #EveryChildMatters

8 District uniform members on routine patrol near King St and Academy St, Beamsville discovered a vehicle equipped with muffler diverter flaps which create bangs & loud exhaust.

These belong on the track, not on our community roadways. Multiple charges laid.
