Block Parent Program

Currently in Prince Albert, there is no Block Parent Program. We are hoping to have it rejuvenated, and need Block Parents to do just that. Block Parent homes are safe homes for anyone, especially children, to go to if in need of help, scared or troubled. All Block Parents are police screened, and signs are not handed out to just anybody. 

Information can be found on the Prince Albert Police website at www.papolice.ca. or call or go down to the police station for more information, or to have their applications processed.
