Community Leaders/Colleagues/Friends;

As the events unfold on Parliament Hill and the downtown core, it is incumbent upon us as a police service to be aware of how this incident may have an impact on our local communities.  We understand that the recent tragic event in St. Jean de Richelieu and today may be very challenging for members of our communities, and that this incident may exacerbate these challenges.

The Ottawa Police Service has a long standing collaboration with our various faith and communities leaders that have allowed us to build strong and positive relationships.  With this in mind, I want to take this opportunity to reiterate my commitment to ensure the safety of all of our communities.

It is with this relationship in mind that we encourage you to share this information as widely as possible with members of your respective communities.

If at any time, you or a member of your community feels that there is a life-threatening emergency or crime in progress, you are strongly encouraged to call 9-1-1.  For all other non-emergency crimes, or for general inquiries, your are encouraged to call 613-236-1222.  Visit our website at www.ottawapolice.ca<http://www.ottawapolice.ca> for additional information about the services we offer.
