Const. Darren Fischer, Community Resource and Media Relations Officer with Stratford Police Service, explained the importance of community engagement this week.
“If we don’t have that participation from the public, we really can’t do our jobs. We really can’t be everywhere at once, so we do need people to keep their eyes open, we do need people to engage positively with the community.”
