Thursday, February 27, 2014       THINK TWICE ON THIN ICE     Today, the Winnipeg Police Service, along with the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service, RCMP, Coalition for Safer Waters, Canadian Red Cross, University of Manitoba and CTV will be participating in a "Think Twice on Thin Ice" Public Service Announcement. The event will air tonight at 6:00 p.m. on CTV News Winnipeg. Members of the public are encouraged to watch.    The Winnipeg Police Service River Patrol Unit would like to remind the public that as warmer weather conditions approach, thin ice and open water will be present on our rivers and retention ponds.  Waterways will be considered unsafe as ice thickness can be very unpredictable.   Parents, guardians and teachers are asked to remind children of the dangers involving cold water and thin ice.  This is an extremely dangerous time as open water on the rivers is swift and very cold.   Members of the public are asked to refrain from venturing near any bodies of water as rivers banks become slippery and very hazardous.      For further information contact either: Constable Jason Michalyshen, Public Information Officer Constable Eric Hofley, Public Information Officer Detective Sergeant Natalie Aitken, Public Information Officer Phone: (204) 986-3061 | Fax: (204) 986-3267 | Email: WPS-PIO@Winnipeg.ca Share this mailing with your social network by clicking on the appropriate link:       Related Winnipeg Police Service Report a Crime Online Crime Stoppers CrimeStat Unsubscribe If you do not want to receive these emails anymore, unsubscribe.

Crime Prevention Tip  THINKING OF MOVING?   Assess An Area Before Moving In   Some of the things that you should consider before purchasing a home or moving into a rental property are:   Check the general maintenance standard of surrounding properties, streets and parks? This is a good indicator of the concern that area residents have for their neighbourhood, and will tell you much about the area. What is the quality of the overall lighting? This will involve visiting the neighbourhood after dark. Some areas are quite different after the sun goes down, and it is recommended you visit them before you purchase a new house or move into a rental property. What is the proximity to transit? How far will you be required to walk to and from transit facilities? How close are the schools in the area? How far will your children be required to walk to and from education facilities? What is the availability of sidewalks? What is the traffic flow in the area? Visiting the area during peak traffic flow times is recommended. Especially if too much vehicle traffic is of a concern to you. Talk to area residents before you purchase or rent. People already living in an area will know their neighbourhood and the concerns that may exist.     Did you know the Winnipeg Police Service is on Twitter and You Tube?
