Timmins City Counc. Bill Gvozdanovic took Timmins Police Chief Dan Foy on a tour of his ward in the Schumacher area.
Gvozdanovic said he has a growing concern about crime in his ward and showed the chief some troublesome locations.
“People want to enjoy their property and they’re starting to get a little bit nervous and, you know, I have to bring that concern to the police chief and the council table along with all the other residents that are concerned and there is a lot of them, a lot," the city councillor said.
It's now known as an area where the city's first triple shooting took place.
"We need to do more. We need to work with partners, we need to work at preventing social disorder issues. We need to look at helping people that are in a vulnerable position in their lives," said Foy.
"And that is not only done by the police, but we play a part in the bigger system where partners come together."
