Crime prevention powered by neighbours since 1992

A safer Mississauga
starts on your block.

Auto theft. Break-ins. Hate-motivated incidents. The threats are real, and so is the work we’ve been doing for 34 years to push back. If just 4.6% of residents gave $25 a year, we could sustain every program that gets us closer to the city we all want.
