Surrey Crime Prevention Society-Keeping the community safe.

Karen Reid Sidhu was our guest at last week’s meeting.  She is the Executive Director of the Surrey Crime Prevention Society.  Her organization was a recipient of a $2000 donation from the Rotary Club of Surrey gaming grants program.  Under her watch, the organization has taken a progressive approach utilizing a team of 260 active volunteers and 7 paid staff.  The volunteers help run speed watch, the anti-graffiti program, and the successful and proactive Locking Out Auto Crime initiative.  They also gather traffic statistics for the Surrey RCMP.   They are essentially an extra set of eyes and ears for the community.  Furthermore, volunteers help lead at-risk youth in a positive direction, and she spoke proudly of the results achieved by her dedicated and talented team.  Her organization is not only helping keep the community safe, they are also developing tomorrow’s leaders and law enforcement.  Keep up the good work.  We look forward to future partnerships with the organization!
