EAST HANTS CRIME PREVENTION ASSOCIATION

In 1992, Constable Gary Hicks of the Enfield R.C.M.P., approached us with the idea of combining all our local Crime Prevention groups, under a Community Policing Umbrella, called Tri County Crime Prevention.  This has been in effect since then, and is very successful.  The organization adopted a name change at the Annual General Meeting in September 2007 - the organization is now known as the East Hants Crime Prevention Association.

Our groups that are under the East Hants umbrella are Neighborhood Watch, Drug Awareness, Victims Assistance, Citizens on Patrol, Safe Seniors at Home, and Crime Stoppers.  These groups work together for fund raising and community awareness events.  We participate in parades, have car washes, barbecues, yard sales, breakfasts, info fairs, Battle of the Brains and other events.  We have a wonderful group of volunteers, and we receive a lot of support from our local R.C.M.P. detachment.
