Charlottetown cannot solve every policing, justice, health, addiction, shelter or housing problem by itself. It can strengthen the things the City controls, put workable proposals before the Province, and become a serious partner in replacing systems that are not producing good outcomes.
City Prosecutor
An in-house lawyer focused on enforceable bylaws, prosecution-ready files and municipal-offence follow-through.
See Faster Local Justice →Municipal Safety Officers
Visible neighbourhood patrols, bylaw enforcement, property standards, parking and lawful support on cold property-crime files.
See the MSO plan →Month justice pilot
A dedicated municipal-offences docket before independent, provincially appointed judicial justices of the peace - already proposed to the Province.
Read the proposal →A real Treatment & Recovery Centre
Work with all levels of government on a purpose-built clinical centre on QEH property at Riverside Drive and Murchison Lane.
See the proposed site →Phase out Park Street by the end of 2028
Not a sudden closure: replacement treatment, shelter and housing capacity must be operating first.
See the transition plan →Publish the results
Measure complaint completion, enforcement outcomes, docket performance, housing placements and treatment connections so residents can see whether the plan works.
Police where we need police. Municipal Safety Officers everywhere else the law allows.
Crimes in progress, violence, arrests and serious criminal investigations remain police work. The MSO program is designed to move municipal enforcement and evidence-heavy follow-up away from sworn police where police powers are not required.
Three connected systems
Enforcement that works. Eight MSOs and a City Prosecutor.
Justice that follows. A 36-month municipal-justice pilot with independent provincial adjudication.
Recovery that lasts. Treatment connected to the QEH, differentiated shelter and housing, and a responsible Park Street transition.
