Public Safety Canada's National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) is responsible for implementing the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS). Our work provides national leadership on effective and cost-effective ways to prevent and reduce crime by intervening on the risk factors before crime happens. Our approach is to promote the implementation of effective crime prevention practices.

We work closely with partners and stakeholders in the provinces and territories to develop and implement results-driven programs that target specific crime issues in regions and communities across Canada. We provide communities with tools, knowledge and support to undertake crime prevention initiatives in communities large and small across Canada.

Recent changes to funding programs

Following the recent announcement by the Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of Public Safety, the National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) is realigning its funding programs to focus on evidence based interventions - what works - that directly address known risk factors for crime in high risk populations and places.

Additional information – including timelines for calls for proposals – will be posted on this website in the near future. Please consult this website regularly for further information and developments.
