We Value Your Support

A partnership with the Winnipeg Police Service and Fire Paramedic Service enables the DCSP and its teams to work closely with the city’s emergency services teams to alleviate some of the current demands on 911 (police, fire, and paramedic services). Careful assessment and management of calls to deliver services more suited to the nature of the situation is key to the DCSP’s ability to effect long-term change for individuals and the entire downtown community.
