Lock It or Lose It 

The OACP Lock It or Lose It Campaign is a Crime Prevention Program. During the annual launch of the Lock It or Lose It campaign, police service members initiate an inspection and a notice card has been designed to advice drivers on the condition their vehicle was found, for example; vehicle unlocked, vehicle unlocked with keys in view, window(s) open, valuables in plain view.

Check out the Lock It or Lose It Inspection Card

Festive RIDE Program

 In an effort to keep Ontario roads safe from impaired drivers, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) is proud to support the Festive RIDE Program. The Program's strategy is to take alcohol and drug-impaired drivers off the roads.

We urge citizens to always plan ahead by having a designated driver, staying overnight, or taking a cab or public transportation to keep yourself safe and also the safety of others on the road. There is never an excuse for impaired driving!

Know Your Tow

The Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) and the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) has partnered together for the Know Your Tow Campaign. Getting in a collision can be stressful, but your tow should not be. Know your rights - Download the Know Your Tow Tips Card.

Provincial Crime Prevention Week

Crime Prevention Week provides an opportunity to showcase the successful collaborative efforts between police services and community organizations as they work towards the common goal of preventing crime and creating safe, resilient communities across Ontario.

During Crime Prevention Week, police services are encouraged to emphasize the importance of community mobilization and engagement in the promotion of safe and healthy communities.

Crime Prevention Week takes place annually during the first full week of November. 

Access the 2022 Provincial Crime Prevention Week material.

Police Week

Police Week was first observed in 1970 and coincides with Peace Officers Memorial Day, which is recognized internationally in May of each year. Each year a theme is chosen to highlight and celebrate the leadership role police officers and personnel play in helping Ontarians build and maintain a healthy and safe community all across the Province.

During Police Week, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) encourages police services to highlight their police service, their people, and their many accomplishments. Police officers and civilian personnel work tirelessly every day to earn the public's trust and confidence. It is important to use Police Week to help promote positive messaging.

 

 

 Traffic Safety Initiative

The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) and the OACP Traffic Committee is pleased to highlight the Traffic Safety Initiative. The Traffic Safety Initiative is a new annual campaign that is designed to keep our roadways and highways safe and it continues to be a priority for all police organizations.
