Teams of volunteers fanned out from Connaught Elementary School at 7 p.m. Thursday, marking the beginning of the City of North Battleford's first-ever, three-day community safety audit.
The audit continued Friday.
A community safety audit is a thorough examination of an area by local residents. During the community safety audit, residents walk through the neighbourhood and identify specific safety concerns, opportunities for crime to occur and the existing perception of safety.
The goal of this community safety audit is to crime-proof the neighbourhood, which is bounded by 106th through to 109th Streets and 9th through to 12th Avenues, and help the residents feel safe.
This first safety audit in North Battleford will continue Sunday, May 23 at 1 p.m.
The community safety audit is a joint effort being conducted by the City of North Battleford in cooperation with BTC Justice and the North Battleford RCMP detachment.
