Crime free multi-housing program off to a steady start in North Battleford
Buildings owned by Macro Properties in North Battleford might be a little bit safer since joining the crime free multi-housing program, according to the city’s community safety coordinator.
Herb Sutton said the program is meant to reduce crime and increase safety in multi-unit buildings through education and physical changes to the buildings.
“I think any community could benefit from this kind of a program and the city is interested in continuing the work to improve community safety,” he said. “Community safety requires a multi-faceted approach and this is one of the pieces of that approach.”
Macro was the first property manager in the city to join the program since it was launched in the fall of 2014. Sutton said they’re starting out slow with the program, since it involves a lot of work from the city, RCMP and property managers.
