I have cultivated and maintained relationships that allow for a meaningful exchange of knowledge and points of view which align with our mutual goals of decreasing crime, victimization and social disorder while increasing public safety. This has expanded boundaries and improved service delivery to our communities which ultimately supports the OPP Vision: “Safe Communities…A Secure Ontario.
