The Community Safety Unit is part of the City of Vernon’s Protective Services team. Working alongside RCMP volunteers, the Unit focuses on crime prevention, public education, and building safer communities through outreach and partnership.
We work with residents, businesses, schools, and local organizations to reduce opportunities for crime through:
- Community education and workshops
- Public safety awareness programs
- Partnerships with social service agencies
- Crime prevention information and referrals
The Community Safety Unit is the bridge between the community, RCMP, and public safety education.
