35th Annual Crime Prevention Guide

11 FAMILY VIOLENCE AWARENESS MESSAGE FROM THE CHARLOTTETOWN CHIEF OF POLICE As Chief of Police, I want to take this opportunity to speak directly to our community about a deeply serious issue that affects far too many individuals and families: family violence. Family violence can affect anyone - regardless of age, gender, culture, or background. It happens behind closed doors, often in silence, and leaves deep emotional, physical, and psychological scars. No one deserves to live in fear. Raising awareness is just the beginning. As a community, we must all play a role - by educating ourselves, supporting victims, and speaking out against abuse. Together, we can create a safer, more compassionate environment where everyone feels secure in their own home. In closing, I would like to thank everyone involved with Prince Edward Island Police Association, not just for what they do in the community but also their role in making our Island communities a safe and an enjoyable place to live. Sincerely, Brad MacConnell Chief of Police Charlottetown Police Services
