Those in downtown and North Central Regina will see an increased police presence on Wednesday as the Regina Police Service (RPS) continues a community outreach initiative.
Officers will prioritize interacting with residents and business owners to foster open communication, according to a news release from the RPS.
The goal of the initiative is to create a safer community and build stronger relationships, police said.
The project, called ‘Progressive Policing Initiative: Engagement and Enforcement,’ began in July following the results from a community perceptions survey.
The survey highlighted a need for increased police presence and a need to officers focus on issues like drugs and alcohol.
Results from the most recent initiative will be shared later on, police said.
