As part of police week, an open house was held today at the People United in the Lower South End (PULSE) Centre.
Sergeant Jim Fleming says the presence of the PULSE centre is the reason why the Community Police Office in the Lower South End has been so successful.
He says he can tell by the dozen people that showed up for the open house that the community is more interested in stopping crime.
The goal of the open house is for people to meet the community police officer and to become familiar with some of the services PULSE offers.
PULSE is working to develop a community resource centre, lending library, and youth centre.
