World Drowning Prevention Day
July 25 marks World Drowning Prevention Day. For every fatal drowning in Ontario, there are nearly four non-fatal drownings that are serious enough to require an emergency department visit. Learn how to protect your family at WaterSmartParents.ca #NDPW2024 #watersmartparents
Touch A Truck
We were excited to once again to participate in Heritage Place Shopping Centre’s annual #TouchATruck event this afternoon. It's a great opportunity to get inside some of your favourite vehicles! Thanks to The Kiwanis for the great BBQ. #CommunityPartners
Scam Alert
#ScamAlert Our Communications Centre is reminding the public about an increase in fraudulent cold calls and emails. If someone is asking for personal or financial information and you are unaware why they are calling, do not provide & hang up.
Scam Alert
#ScamAlert Scams happen all year long, but email & cell phone scams have ramped up over the past couple months & these will continue as people approach income tax time. Please be vigilant & remember you do not need to respond "promptly" or "right away".
Stop Human Trafficking
#HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay2024 If you suspect someone is in a human trafficking situation, or a victim of human trafficking, call the Canadian Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-833-900-1010. This hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Regional Job Fair
A very good turnout for the @countyofgrey #RegionalJobFair yesterday. Excellent networking opportunities and some very good candidates who applied to work for the Owen Sound Police Service.
Slow Down
Be prepared for additional roving radar throughout the City. Officers continue to clock motorists driving at or above 70km in a City that has posted signs of 50km or 40km, especially in neighborhoods. #SlowDown #ChargesLaid
Scam Alert
#ScamAlert Police Services are once again witnessing an increase in text-phone scams, focusing on parents & grandparents. Be vigilant. Do NOT respond immediately to unfamiliar texts. Contact a friend/family member to verify.
Bike Patrol
Its February 8th & our CORE team is heading out on bike patrol. The best way to get through our City's trails, parks & alleyways is on a bike. Proactive policing, while engaging with community members. #CommunityOrientedResponse
Foot Patrol
Foot patrol happens throughout the City, at all hours, when call volume allows. Owen Sound is a busy little City & we understand the importance of foot patrol whether it’s in the River District or along the harbour, or in areas vehicles can't travel. #CrimePrevention
