Every individual deserves to feel safe and be safe
The DCSP, was established in April of 2020, as a partnership between the Province of Manitoba, the City of Winnipeg, the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service, the Winnipeg Police Service and True North Sports + Entertainment. The Downtown Community Safety Partnership provides 24-hour, seven-day-a-week coverage to serve the downtown community in the most effective and efficient way. In order to fully and effectively support those living and working in the community, all visitors and the vulnerable downtown population, the availability of services outside the normal 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. business hours is imperative.
We believe that every individual deserves to feel safe and be safe. We serve everyone who lives, visits, works, learns, plays and makes up the downtown Winnipeg community.

Proud member of the downtown community
The DCSP is not only committed to serving the downtown community, but to being part of it. With offices centrally located downtown, where our Coordinated Assistance Network and community presence and outreach teams are also based, the DCSP is a proud member of the downtown community. Being fully integrated into Winnipeg’s downtown strengthens connections with community members and partners, adds to the DCSP’s presence and visibility, and will enhance the contributions the DCSP is able to make downtown.
We are data-driven, using research to innovate and improve
Drawing on "leading practice" research, reviewing detailed data on services, continuous upgrading of data, and analysis processes are integral to what we do. Evidence, evaluation and research are the foundation of the DCSP’s model of continuous improvement, accountability and transparency. We provide timely and regular reporting to government, community partners and the public. Analysis of outcomes and impacts improves management and effectiveness. By focusing on measurable results, we have been able to define success early and provide service in a way that is more meaningful and impactful to the community.
