23rd Annual Crime Prevention Guide - 23e Guide annuel de prévention du crime 27 Dave MacLean & Mike Cook On behalf of the Fredericton Police, UBC Local 911, I wish to thank everyone for your past, present and future support of the New Brunswick Police Association. As we strive to reduce crime through developing programs and initiatives, it is always so important to encourage people to report suspected crimes. The word ‘bullying’ is often a term used to camouflage the description of a criminal offence. There is frequently a misconception that ‘bullying’ generally takes place in our school system. While ‘bullying’ does occur in the school system, a victim of ‘bullying’ may also be found in the work place and in universities. While various policies are in place to cover the non-acceptance of ‘bullying,’ reporting of such incidents are extremely important. A victim of ‘bullying’ could very well be a victim of a physical assault, threats, unlawful confinement, etc. For the protection of the victim, these incidents should not go unreported. In the Policing community, these incidents are taken very seriously. Reporting such crimes can be done through your local Police agency or through your local chapter of Crime Stoppers. For victims of ‘bullying,’ every day matters. On behalf of UBC Local 911 and the Fredericton Police Force, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their continued support to the New Brunswick Police Association. As the focal point of the 23rd Annual Crime Prevention Guide, bullying continues to take center stage on a global level and continues to parade its ugly face around communities everywhere. The men and women of the Fredericton Police Force hold a steadfast position against an adversary that has proven to be highly influential and destructive in the lives of our children and younger generations to come. We believe that education and respect play vital roles in the ongoing struggle against bullying. We encourage everyone to “Stand Up to Bullying” and “Stand Up for each other.” Together, we can foster a heightened awareness to this extremely important issue. “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing” ~Albert Einstein Stand Up!
