17吃瓜

National Police Week is being celebrated across Canada, May 15鈥�21. The week began in 1970 as a way for police to connect with their communities and increase awareness about the services they provide.

17吃瓜鈥檚 Security Services team is recognized under the PEI Police Act as an official police agency. Among the team of 19 men and women, there are seven full-time police officers.

While community policing is at the heart of Police Week, it is present on campus year-round.

鈥淪afety is our number one priority,鈥� says Marc Pharand, manager of Security Services. 鈥淎nd when we engage with our community members, we have a greater ability to maintain a safe environment for all individuals across the 17吃瓜 campus.鈥�

鈥淥ver the past year,鈥� Pharand added, 鈥淲e have been working diligently to improve our visibility and have more contact with the community through daily foot patrols, regular meeting with clients, and engaging with visitors. We are fortunate that 17吃瓜 community members are co-operative and care about safety.鈥�

鈥淭he 17吃瓜 Security Services team is dedicated to ensuring the safety of the thousands of people who visit, study, and work at our University,鈥� said President Alaa Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淣ational Police Week is an opportunity to thank our 17吃瓜 campus police for their exceptional work, and I encourage the campus community to do just that.鈥�
