There are ways in which you can reduce the risk of being a victim:
- Walk assertively and in well-lit areas.
- Avoid being alone if you can.
- Walk in the centre of the sidewalk, away from alleys and doorways.
- If you suspect you are being followed, cross the street, go to the nearest home, a service station or a business and call the police.

- Report problems to the police, we welcome the information and can advise you on prevention methods.
Cornwall has become a dumping ground for Sex Offenders…Perhaps an island in the middle of nowhere would be a more suitable place for these people to live.
Chief Parkinson the American law is the best and one lady who works with my daughter is leaving Canada for good. We were speaking together and I felt so ashamed of Cornwall but this is the top of the cherry on the sundae. You Chief should {MODERATED} When I mention the Barney Fife PD I mean that fully all the way and beyond. You are a shame to the good people of Cornwall and you should literally resign from your post. Hang your head down low Chief because the good people of Cornwall will no longer respect you at all. Bare Ass has lost all respect of the good people and you and all the rest of the thieves and pedophiles. I feel awful sorry for those who lost everything because of your{MODERATED}friends. They are no better than those who rob banks and do murder. Never again would I live in Cornwall or say that it is my former hometown. This is a mighty big shame that you Chief brought on to the community and your best hope is to resign on the spot. You have made me more angry than ever before.
Jules…it’s one thing to rake Cornwall Police Chief Dan Parkinson for attending Neil Shah’s application for parole. Alerting the public of William Robert Gates pending residency in Cornwall is something he should have done.
Hugger the chief did and we published it.
Admin, I realize that. I was pointing out to Jules that not everything he does is bad or deserves the nickname she has given the CPS.
