strength in community
Together with our community we have disrupted gang violence, reduced property crime and helped support our marginalized community. We want to continue to work with you to help solve some of our complex social issues and support our goal to make Abbotsford the safest city in BC. There truly is STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY.
The Connection Circle Diversity Series
The Abbotsford Police Department is fortunate to serve in such a diverse community. The goal of AbbyPD is to be reflective of our community, and we know that diversity is our strength.
We are proud to partner with the University of the Fraser Valley to develop the Connection Circle. The Connection Circle was established in early 2021 to bring together our diverse community to discuss and enhance ways to foster a safe, secure, fair and equitable environment in Abbotsford.
The Connection Circle Diversity Series is another opportunity for AbbyPD to listen and learn from our community. We can better understand each other's perspectives and lived experiences through conversation. Through these crucial conversations built on trust, we will continue to develop and foster relationships as we are stronger together.
