Dauphin Tests New Downtown Security Patrol | Winnipeg News

Dauphin’s downtown is getting a new safety boost with private patrols from Classify Security Group, rolling out a six-month pilot to beef up presence in key spots like Vermillion Park and the recreation complex — all while working alongside RCMP and emergency services. The move, driven by resident and business feedback, aims to make the downtown feel safer and more secure. But not everyone’s on board: some local leaders question why the city’s hiring from Winnipeg instead of tapping existing volunteer groups like Citizens On Patrol — which, while community-driven, struggle with consistent staffing, especially during busy seasons. As the program kicks off, the city’s watching closely, gathering feedback from all sides to see if this paid, visible presence truly hits the mark for Dauphin’s safety goals.
