15 30TH ANNIVERSARY CRIME PREVENTION GUIDE MESSAGE FROM THE CHARLOTTETOWN CHIEF OF POLICE This year marks the thirtieth Anniversary for the PEI Police Association. Part of the work of the Association involves the production of an annual crime prevention/awareness guide. Each year the guide provides educational materials and information which helps raise awareness and provide discussion points on an important issue facing our communities. Some nineteen months after its legalization this year the guide focuses on the issue of Cannabis. With the legalization of Cannabis and the subsequent approval, in Dec. 2019 of cannabis related edibles, comes a need to be aware of appropriate information concerning the use, consumption and impacts of Cannabis and Cannabis products. Personal decisions when considering the use of substances that can impair or alter judgement should not be taken lightly. Education and information are key components to personal and community safety. The information provides in this guide; coupled with your willingness to seek other factual information will certainly help in an informed decision making process. The production of this guide and other guides not only raise awareness on important issues, but also assist the Police Association in the efforts to fund and support very worthwhile projects within out Island communities. On behalf of the members and staff of the Charlottetown Police Services, I would like to congratulate the PEI Police Association for the production of this year’s community guide and with the Association every success in the future. Yours truly, A. Paul Smith, O.O.M. Chief of Police
