In an effort to carry out its mandate to promote safe and stable communities, the Ministry of Communities (MoC) is collaborating with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Community, Family and Youth Resilience (CFYR) programme in conducting a training session for Local Government Councillors on Social Crime Prevention.
According to a MoC press release, the two-day workshop, which began yesterday at the Racquet Centre on Woolford Avenue, is for participants from the Linden and Georgetown municipalities as well as 15 Neighbourhood Democratic Councils (NDCs).
It is covering topics such as the promotion of lawfulness through social crime prevention; the role of citizens, community and criminal justice; communication and leadership; understanding domestic violence and youth relationship violence, and community awareness outreach, the MoC release added.
