New Substance Supports Outreach Strategy to Launch
Substance Supports in Neighbourhoods Accessed through Police Partnerships (SSNAPP) is a policing/neighbourhood outreach strategy that aligns with the approved Windsor Essex Regional Community Safety and Well Being (RCSWB) plan and the Windsor-Essex Community Opioid and Substance Strategy (WECOSS). The partnership, led by the Windsor Police Service (WPS), involves the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) and the City of Windsor and will assist individuals within the Windsor and Amherstburg area. It will enable constables to be visible and accessible in high-priority areas and high-risk settings, allow for coordinated place-based strategies and support both internal training and public education efforts on the available resources and needs of those affected by substance use and overdose.
