This years annual event will see officers meet with local groups to promote the shared responsibilities of keeping the Friendly City safe.

Rektor adds the programs focus on the specific crime issues relevant to the community in order to make people aware.
''We have the OPP kids program through safeguard Ontario, that's a program where we go into the schools and we talk with kids about all kinds of safety issues; we also will be promoting our Lock It or Lose It program.''
The Woodstock Police and OPP are encouraging residents to attend the local programs and come together as a community to stand up against crime.
