Child ID and Lock It or Lose It Campaign

Highlight the St. Lawrence College Volunteers in Policing Program and the Youth in Policing Initiative
• V.I.P.P. (Volunteers in Policing Program) is a partnership between the Brockville Police Service and second year Police Foundation students from St. Lawrence College. These students are highly motivated and display a high level of personal qualities with a desire to help others. Starting in 1996, each fall, a team of second year Police Foundation students are selected based on their college record and their performance in an actual police employment interview conducted by members of the Recruitment/Promotion Interview Team. All second year and select first years’ students are encouraged to apply for the positions, which gives valuable experience in providing a meaningful internship for a future police career. The opportunity to go through the actual police interview and hiring process where they are required to answer questions and participate in discussion at the interview phase, gives the students invaluable experience towards their future chosen career.

Today’s V.I.P.P. students are still just as active as ever, being involved in many pro-active aspects of Community Policing and Community Safety. The V.I.P.P. team are involved in such programs as Child I.D, the Brockville and District Safe Communities Coalition, Halloween Patrols, Crime Stoppers and many other projects. Members of the V.I.P.P. team intern with the Police Service from October to May.

• The Youth in Policing Initiative (YIPI) is a partnership with the Brockville Police Service and the Ministry of Children and Youth Services to two students for the school year.

The Youth in Policing Initiative focuses on three main goals: teaching the students about policing, teaching the students about the importance of strong community ties and helping the students to develop both personally and professionally. It focuses on hiring students between the ages of 15-18 years old.

The MasoniCh.I.P. program

The MasoniCh.I.P. program uses modern, police-approved techniques to create a child identification kit for the ones you love. The kit collects photos, video, voice recordings, digital fingerprints, dental impressions, saliva swabs as well as traditional statistical information (height, weight, hair and eye colour, etc.). This information is matched to work seamlessly with Ontario’s law enforcement providers. By being so compatible, the critical identifying information can be broadcast and shared more quickly than ever before to assist with the safe recovery of missing children. The MasoniCh.I.P. program is brought exclusively to families by dedicated Masons and their volunteers, free of charge along with our sentiment that “We hope you never need to use it.”

What’s in a MasoniCh.I.P. Kit

When a child has a kit prepared, their parent or guardian will receive a printed colour data sheet with several ID card inserts, a CD-ROM storing all the digital information, and a sealed bag with the dental plate and cheek swab. All this material and information is given to the parent or guardian. No information is ever stored by the MasoniChIP program.

Lock it or Lose it Campaign

A proactive crime prevention program that encourages drivers to take precautions to protect their vehicles and vehicle contents from theft, particularly as the holiday season approaches.
“Auto theft and the theft of valuables from vehicles are preventable crimes. With people out shopping and visiting friends and families during the holiday season, we want motorists to be aware that leaving their vehicles unlocked or having valuables in plain sight within their vehicles is an invitation for thieves, The Lock it or Lose it campaign is about taking precautions so that crime doesn’t ruin the holiday season.”

Under Lock it or Lose it, police officers and community volunteers throughout Brockville will examine parked vehicles to confirm they are locked and that no valuables have been left in plain view. Officers place a small notice on vehicles checked indicating what safety precautions were neglected and offering some simple prevention tips for drivers to protect their vehicles against theft. The notice also congratulates drivers who have ensured that their vehicle is secure, with valuables out of sight.
