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

''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.''
