Summary
"This information guide was written specifically for elected municipal officials and police officers
who sit on a public security committee (PSC), with the aim of facilitating their full participation.
However, it is also intended for any elected official or person who wishes to understand how a PSC
operates in order to contribute to its activities, because a safe living environment for citizens is a
common mission shared by several stakeholders.
Some elected officials already have experience with PSCs and the management of service
agreements with the Sûreté du Québec. However, experience and knowledge vary greatly from
one official to the next.
This guide contains general and practical information to facilitate participation."--Introduction.
