In response to increased reports of property crime (theft and mischief) and resident concerns brought forward to police, the Cobourg Police Service (CPS) will enhance proactive patrols in
east-end residential neighbourhoods through the Dynamic Patrol initiative.
This foot patrol initiative is intended to enhance police service delivery through proactive patrols, increasing visibility, and community engagement efforts in the Town of Cobourg.
“Through communications received over the last few weeks, we have heard our community wants a more visible police presence and engagement in the east end of Cobourg. We will shift our Dynamic Patrol initiative to provide reassurance and increase the opportunity for engagement with all residents, hear comments and concerns directly from people of that area,” said Chief Paul VandeGraaf, Cobourg Police Service.
While assigned to Dynamic Patrol, CPS members engage with community members to continue to build relationships with residents, business owners, and visitors in downtown Cobourg.
Residents can expect to see increased police patrols in and around east-end neighbourhoods, including, but not limited to, the following streets:
• Thomas Street
• Meredith Avenue
• Jane Street
Report Crime and Suspicious Activity
We encourage community members to report suspicious activity and crime, whether big or small. Reports help us identify crime patterns and trends to serve our community better. Reports reviewed and assigned for follow-up.
Report non-emergency crimes such as theft, traffic complaints, damage to property, damage to vehicle and lost property online. Learn more or file a report at cobourgpoliceservice.com/online-reporting.
If you are in an emergency or witness a crime in progress, please call 9-1-1 immediately.
