Community Safety Officers

The Listuguj Police Department (LPD) is working with the Listuguj Community Social Services Directorate (LCSSD) to bring in Community Safety Officers (CSO). “Community Safety Officers are civilian members of the community whose role is to assist with community safety, visibility, prevention, and other non-police related matters. Our Community Safety Officers work closely with the Listuguj Police Department and provide an additional safety presence throughout the community.”

CSOs will be on duty daily from 6:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Their patrols will include playgrounds, construction sites, LMG buildings, Gospem, Sipu’g, and other assigned areas throughout the community. As part of their duties will include monitoring these areas and maintaining a safe and visible presence. They will work to prevent and report concerns such as theft, vandalism, unauthorized access, bullying, fighting, and other unsafe activities. CSOs will also monitor playgrounds, ensure that they are closed every evening at 9:00 p.m., and address situations involving intoxicated individuals or other activities that may pose a safety concern. Community Safety Officers will report any suspected criminal activity or incidents requiring police intervention to the Listuguj Police Department.

We would like to remind everyone that Community Safety Officers are not police officers and do not replace police services. For any police-related matter, criminal activity, emergency, or situation requiring police assistance, please continue to contact LPD directly.
