Community safety survey being launched in N.B.
Staff with the City of North Battleford will soon be able to gauge how safe people feel in their neighbourhoods with a survey.
The issue came up at council Monday night when Tarah Hodgkinson, an expert in criminology at Simon Fraser University, and the lead in the project, discussed the initiative.
Mayor Ryan Bater said North Battleford’s Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) committee is working with Hodgkinson on the Community Safety Survey.
“We’re fortunate to have a CPTED committee that saw value in this, and, of course, Dr. Hodgkinson who is providing her expertise,” he said. “We couldn’t do it without her. It’s very exciting, and it’s starting right away.”
