District #2 is comprised of several smaller communities containing policing sub-stations where officers are assigned to report for duty. There are sub-stations in Thamesville (Zone 201), Ridgetown (Zone 202) and Blenheim (Zone 203). Divided throughout the District there are 17 Police Officers and one Community Services Special Constable. There are also reporting stations in Bothwell and Erieau where officers often attend and complete necessary paperwork, interview witnesses and address community needs. The Blenheim and Ridgetown stations have records personnel working at the front counters for walk in traffic to address community needs. Our office hours are Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. except for statutory holidays.

COMMUNITY MOBOLIZATION INITIATIVES

The newly formed  Crime Prevention and Safety Board of Chatham-Kent is a concept that was initiated in 2004. The purpose of the Board is to collaborate with community partners and residents of Chatham-Kent in the identification, planning and implementation of Crime Prevention and Community Safety initiatives.

Given the diversity of Chatham-Kent, crime trends and concerns in each area are unique, and should be treated as such. The sharing of information, best practices, resources, and networking will help to connect Chatham-Kent, and build a safe and healthy community where we can live, work and play together.

In early 2006 several Community meeting were held in District #2 including Blenheim, Ridgetown, Thamesville and Bothwell. Several citizens attended and volunteered to get involved in crime prevention initiatives in our area. These exciting programs will be starting soon, or have already started, to find out more or to become involved please contact the Sgt. Brian Biskey at the above e-mail address or by phone.

The Clachan Neighbourhood Watch group was formed in 2005 and has had a significant impact on crime in their area. The cooperative efforts of the community, and the police service is a testament to the effectiveness of these programs. Please read the Clachan Neighbourhood Watch report for interesting information and statistics. Their success and achievements in reducing crime in their area are an exciting example that again shows how working together will reduce crime.

Crime Prevention is defined as “the anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of a crime risk and the initiation of some action to reduce or remove it.” Everyone in our community including the police have a responsibility in making crime prevention a part of their daily routine. Whether it is the officer on patrol who stops to educate a business owner or property owner on better ways to light the outside of their home or business, or the citizen who calls 911 to report suspicious activity in their neighbourhood, everyone has a part to play in preventing crime.
