Safety and Security
The cooperation of the City of Greater Sudbury Bylaw and Greater Sudbury Police Services (GSPS), along with strategic placement of support services, will make the Downtown a safer place to be.
The Downtown Action Plan commits to:
- Having an identified location to direct vulnerable populations to, such as the Social Services Hub at Energy Court, allowing both City Bylaw Officers and GSPS to provide better public safety and enforcement, supported by the Energy Court Governance Committee.
- Collaborating with partners and Bylaw to enhance security and manage the Energy Court Hub site, with GSPS supporting through on-site policing.
Progress reported on June 23, 2026:
- Municipal Law Enforcement Officers (MLEOs) continue to collaborate with GSPS to provide safety and security in downtown Sudbury.
- A dedicated mobile patrol of Security Enforcement Officers in Memorial Park and other City parks will monitor the areas from 2 to 10 p.m. for issues that require Bylaw attention.
- A coordinated encampment strategy continues to help connect people living in encampments with available resources and housing options.
