The Town of The Pas is receiving nearly 48-thousand dollars through the Manitoba Criminal Forfeiture Fund to support community safety efforts.

 

The funding was announced during a formal awards ceremony held June 18th at The Pas RCMP Detachment.

 

The grant will be used to purchase video equipment designed to enhance safety in high-risk areas throughout the community.

 

The request for funding was developed through consultations between the Town’s Community Safety Officer Management, Mayor and Council, and the Chief Administrative Officer.

 

The Manitoba Criminal Forfeiture Fund uses proceeds from the sale of forfeited property to support crime prevention initiatives, law enforcement training, and community-based programs.

 

The Town of The Pas says the equipment will help support ongoing efforts to improve safety and well-being for residents and visitors.
