Substance Supports in Neighbourhoods Accessed through Police Partnerships (SSNAPP)
The Windsor Essex Community Safety & Well-Being Plan has partnered with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit (WECHU) through their Windsor Essex Community Opioid Substance Strategy (WECOSS), the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), and the Windsor Police Service (WPS) to make Windsor Essex a safer place for everyone to live, work, and visit.
Through the Substance Supports in Neighbourhoods Accessed through Police Partnerships (SSNAPP) initiative, various activities have been implemented, including the development of individualized Neighbourhood Safety Plans, a SSNAPP video series, a public education campaign, and the organization of community engagement events and training workshops.
New! County Neighbourhood Safety Plans
SSNAPP has developed Neighbourhood Safety Plans for people who live in Leamington and Essex that include helpful information on opioid use and overdose.
These Neighbourhood Safety Plans are designed to offer guidance for scenarios that may arise in your neighbourhood. They include the following:
- Crucial resources, including mental health, substance use, and housing resources
- Who to call during emergency or non-emergency situations
- Tips for various situations if you feel safe and comfortable to help, for example, if someone is experiencing a mental health or substance-use crisis
These Neighbourhood Safety Plans can be downloaded online (by clicking the links below or visiting the County Neighbourhood Safety Plans web page). They will also become available in multiple languages shortly. Please check back soon!
