Substance Supports in Neighbourhoods Accessed through Police Partnerships (SSNAPP)
New! Check out our newly developed Neighbourhood Safety Plans!
The Windsor Police Service, the City of Windsor, and the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit are committed to addressing substance use challenges in our community through Substance Supports in Neighbourhoods Accessed through Police Partnerships, otherwise known as the SSNAPP initiative. This partnership uniquely integrates law enforcement, healthcare, and community engagement to provide comprehensive support. Together, we strive to create a safer and healthy community, fostering an environment where individuals impacted by substance use can access the support they need.

SSNAPP aligns with the Windsor Essex Regional Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (the Plan) and the Windsor-Essex Community Opioid and Substance Strategy (WECOSS) through shared objectives of strengthening community safety and well-being. More specifically, SSNAPP and its various initiatives fall under Priority #3, “Mental Health & Substance-Use Supports”; and Priority #2, “Engaged & Safe Communities,” of the Plan. The WECOSS also promotes resources and services available for individuals impacted by substance use. Resources can be found at the WECOSS website.
