A new crime prevention community has been developed online in hopes of addressing issues that affect people’s lives, communities and businesses all over the world. Director of SeCure Consulting Solutions Steve Woolrich recently launched the new site at www.targetcrime.ca

“This is a project that I’ve wanted to do for a long time but I’ve never had the opportunity,” said Woolrich. He added his goal is to have people sharing information and resources about crime prevention and security. “The best way of doing that now online is creating a blog and that’s what we’ve done,” said Woolrich.

Natalie Turner, formerly the Graffiti Program Coordinator with the Downtown Business Association will help Woolrich with the blog. “Rounding out my final year of university studying criminology and sociology, I am excited to be part of this organization,” she said.  ”Having worked closely with Steve already this summer I look forward to volunteering as Research and Statisitical Analyst.”  Ron Taylor, owner of Protec Security has also volunteered to write for the site.  There will be other contributors as well who will provide regular features on the site.

“This is what is cool about it – ‘Joe Citizen’ who has a concern about crime prevention in his neighborhood could write. It could be a business owner who has concerns or somebody halfway across the world that could have ideas on how we can combat our crime issues,” said Woolrich. “That’s the beauty of it – it’s collective thought on various issues.”

He added he hopes this website generates a lot of discussion on different aspects of crime prevention and security.  For more information check out www.targetcrime.ca
