The Regina Downtown Community Support Program was launched Wednesday morning.
The one-year pilot project will see teams of two people patrolling the downtown to resolve non-emergent safety and security issues.
Regina Mayor Sandra Masters says this program helps put people first.
“Extending help to individuals to find the services and support they need while also supporting our downtown businesses that are less-equipped or even unable to provide this help,” Masters said. “This is an initiative to meet our community members where they are at and to empower them to access the help that is available.”
