In CanadaSA国际影视传媒檚 far North, the doesnSA国际影视传媒檛 just dish out justice.

As part of the Inuvik detachmentSA国际影视传媒檚 ongoing community engagement efforts, once a week police officers join in the East Three Elementary breakfast club, delivering a hot breakfast to the students of both the elementary and secondary sections.

SA国际影视传媒淚 have been posted to Inuvik for about six months and, since I arrived here, we have been participating in the Breakfast Program at the East Three Schools,SA国际影视传媒 said Const. Savannah OSA国际影视传媒機onnor. SA国际影视传媒淥nce a week when we attend either the Elementary or the High school (sometimes both!) and assist with the Breakfast Program.

SA国际影视传媒淭he school Breakfast Program helps to ensure that all students have the opportunity to start their day with a nutritious meal. It gives me a lot of pride to see the studentsSA国际影视传媒 faces when we deliver their breakfast to them.SA国际影视传媒

ItSA国际影视传媒檚 all part of a more holistic approach to community policing, which in Inuvik has included showing children how to conduct investigations into cookie heists to bystander intervention training and even bike rodeos in conjunction with the townSA国际影视传媒檚 municipal enforcement department.

Detachment commander Sgt. Jesse Aubin said the bystander intervention training was popular enough the department was preparing a class for adults.

SA国际影视传媒淚t all goes back to Sir Robert Peel - SA国际影视传媒楾he police are the community, the community are the police.SA国际影视传媒 We canSA国际影视传媒檛 operate effectively unless weSA国际影视传媒檙e a part of the community. ThatSA国际影视传媒檚 what weSA国际影视传媒檙e striving to do with these initiatives SA国际影视传媒 to make sure that we are part of the community not just as police officers but as as citizens of the town of Inuvik.

SA国际影视传媒淭hatSA国际影视传媒檚 extremely important, not only for us but for the public so that theySA国际影视传媒檙e comfortable talking to us, comfortable reporting things to the police, to being witnesses and those types of things. ItSA国际影视传媒檚 a two way relationship.

SA国际影视传媒淲e canSA国际影视传媒檛 just hide behind the police car all the time. We need to be out and engaging and being part of the community.SA国际影视传媒

Because police officers are frequently moved from community to community every so often, the Inuvik detachment has a mentoring system to pass the torch when new officers come up to Inuvik.

Aubin added as a courtesy to drivers in town that police were planning for traffic enforcement to keep the streets safe for InuvikSA国际影视传媒檚 youth and Elders.

Equally important in the SA国际影视传媒檚 outreach, noted Aubin, was enabling youth to see themselves in policing positions.

SA国际影视传媒淲e attended the college career fair and a couple of members sat there with a little recruitment booth,SA国际影视传媒 he said. SA国际影视传媒淭hatSA国际影视传媒檚 an important connection, a positive way that the community can see us and hopefully get young people of Inuvik interested in a career with the .

SA国际影视传媒淭hatSA国际影视传媒檚 a priority for us, recruiting not just people from the North, but Indigenous candidates as well, and thereSA国际影视传媒檚 no better way to do that than a place like Inuvik SA国际影视传媒 there are lots of youth here and theySA国际影视传媒檙e interested, hopefully in pursuing a career with policing.SA国际影视传媒

For OSA国际影视传媒機onnor, helping out and giving back to the community just goes with the territory.

She expressed her gratitude to the school for allowing her to participate.

SA国际影视传媒淚t is very important to us to promote positive police interactions with youth in the community and it is also a lot of fun for us attending the Breakfast Program,SA国际影视传媒 she said. SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檓 very thankful to Shayna who organizes the breakfast program for allowing us to be a part of it and also to the East Three Elementary and Secondary Schools for welcoming us into their schools.SA国际影视传媒
