The City of Mount Pearl, the RNC, and provincial government are all joining forces to create a community safety plan for the municipality.

It comes after a series of violent attacks in the city last month that saw several young people arrested and charged.

In a statement to VOCM News, the province’s justice and public safety department says it plans to create a situation table to look at community-based approaches to crime prevention.

The campaign is set to consult with stakeholders in the community to create public safety initiatives.

Last month, the City of Mount Pearl held a community meeting, bringing out over 200 concerned residents, many of whom were frustrated with the lack of action from all levels of government.
