(Collingwood/The Blue Mountains, ON.) The Collingwood and The Blue Mountains Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) received financial sponsorship for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program (D.A.R.E.) in the amount of $2,000.00 from the Collingwood Optimist Club.

The Collingwood Optimist Club has been supporting the program since 1998. The program is delivered to Grade 6 students in elementary schools within the Towns of Collingwood and Thornbury.

The program helps youth make safe and responsible choices. They use skills that will assist them in making responsible decisions and resisting behaviours that would be harmful to their health, such as using drugs. They are introduced to the D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model that assists them in problem solving and helps them to make wise decisions for their future. At the end of the program students complete and present an essay about their own experience in D.A.R.E. and how they plan to use what they have learned to help them make safe and responsible choices

The D.A.R.E. Program is a community partnership program between the Police, Schools, Parents and community sponsors.

(TOWNSHIP OF CHATSWORTH, ON) – On Tuesday, May 28, 2014 a Township of Chatsworth resident received a phone call from an unknown person stating they were affiliated with a police organization and were seeking donations for an anti-bullying campaign.

The complainant did not disclose any personal or financial information to the caller. She did, however, call Grey County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) to report a possible fraud.

The phone number that appeared on the complainant’s call display was 647-847-1061.

This phone number is associated to several other fraud complaints in Southwestern Ontario. When an officer called the number, a recorded bi-lingual message tells the caller that they have reached the “Customer Care Line of the Community Police Association”. The message goes on to say that they are looking for support for upcoming programs and to leave your name and contact information.

The OPP wish to remind the public to never give out your personal, credit card or online account details over the phone unless you made the call yourself, and the phone number came from a trusted source.

Scammers can try to pressure you to give a donation and refuse to provide details about the charity, such as their address or their contact details. In some cases, they may provide false information. Simply hang up the phone.
