Update to the William Dunbar Public School Threats. @DRPSWestDiv @CityofPickering @dunbar_ps

Recently, we’ve seen an increase in residential break‑ins, and while there’s no guaranteed way to stop a break‑in completely, there are practical steps we can all take to reduce the risk and make our homes far less appealing to criminals.

I appreciate the opportunity to discuss important innovations in public safety. The @DRPS has benefited from the collaborative efforts of so many police services across the province. We all share information that is helping every Drone program succeed resulting in lives saved and making communities safer.
