Swords Community Policing Forum is holding its third Community Safety Week from Saturday 20th to Thursday 25th of October 2012 and there will be a series of free events to highlight the many aspects of community safety. The aim of the week is to promote the many aspects of community safety among the local residents of Swords. It is hoped that people will be more mindful of safety within their own communities, especially regarding substance misuse. It is being run in partnership with An Garda Siochana Swords. It is hoped that more people will become aware of the services of Swords Community Policing Forum and that people will have a greater understanding of how this can assist the local community of Swords. Events organised throughout the week aim to provide people with information and support surrounding a number of community safety issues including substance misuse and First Aid. There will also be a showcase of local agencies and organisations working within the Swords area that will provide information and support on a wide range of issues including, health, home safety, road safety, benefits and entitlements, substance misuse, mental health and much more. A general substance misuse awareness information session is also available for any member of the community interested in gaining more information about substance and drug use. There will also be a very informative workshop specifically for parents/guardians to support them in dealing with the issues of drugs and alcohol in the family, entitled ‘Don’t Lose the Head;’ developed by Crosscare.
