In recognition of the important role that the Kingston Police Force plays in ensuring the safety of the Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s community, Principal and Vice-Chancellor Daniel Woolf announced Thursday that the university is renewing its commitment to provide financial support for community policing.

“Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s values its relationship with the City of Kingston and all members of the Kingston community. The university is tremendously appreciative of the efforts of the Kingston Police Force to help ensure the safety of the Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s community,” Principal Woolf says. “Recognizing that there are times over the course of the year when additional police resources are required, Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s is pleased to renew its commitment to contribute $100,000 annually to the City of Kingston."

The university first made a commitment to contribute funds in support of community policing in 2013, after the return of Homecoming, and following extensive consultation with stakeholders, including the Kingston Police Force, the Police Services Board, city representatives, students, Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s alumni and community members. This renewal of Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s commitment will see those contributions continue for a further three years, beginning this year.

“I thank Mayor Bryan Paterson, city officials and the Kingston Police Force for all of the support that they provide to Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s throughout the year, as well as our students, including the Alma Mater Society, for their efforts in promoting a safe and respectful campus environment,” Principal Woolf says. “I look forward to continuing to build the relationship between Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s and Kingston, as the university celebrates its 175^th anniversary and beyond.”

Queen 91��Ƭ�� ’s contribution to the City of Kingston is intended to support community policing, including outreach and engagement work, and to help offset the costs of the additional resources that may be required throughout the year.

“Kingston has a special relationship with 91��Ƭ��, the students, faculty and staff that contribute to our community each and every year,” says Mayor Bryan Paterson. “We welcome this announcement and thank Principal Woolf for his commitment to continuing our strong municipal-university relationship now and into the future.”
