The Régie intermunicipale de police Thérèse-De Blainville (RIPTB) has launched a dual initiative aimed at recruiting police cadets for the summer of 2025 while promoting mental health awareness across the region. This approach reflects the organization’s commitment to building a strong and compassionate community, both within its ranks and among the general public.
Opportunities for Future Police Officers
Students and recent graduates in police techniques are being offered a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience and launch their careers in law enforcement. The RIPTB is actively seeking candidates for its summer 2025 cadet program, a move that aims to attract new talent into the field while fostering professional growth.
The program provides recruits with opportunities to protect and assist their communities, engage in meaningful and action-packed work, and grow within a supportive, team-oriented environment. The RIPTB emphasizes that its approach is professional yet accessible, creating a work atmosphere that combines purpose with personal connection.
Mental Health Advocacy at the Forefront
In addition to recruitment efforts, the RIPTB is underscoring the importance of mental health. Recognizing the widespread impact of mental health issues, the organization has committed to participating in broader conversations about well-being, with a focus on fostering resilience within the community.
The RIPTB highlights the need for collective action to address mental health challenges, pointing to the power of small but meaningful actions—such as listening, expressing care, and creating space for open dialogue. The organization is particularly focused on supporting young people, acknowledging their unique challenges and the need for a strong support network.
A Holistic Approach to Community Building
By blending recruitment with advocacy, the RIPTB aims to reinforce its role as both a professional law enforcement body and a community-focused organization. These efforts reflect a belief that a strong police force and a mentally healthy population are intrinsically linked.
Observers see this approach as an example of how police organizations can modernize their roles to address evolving community needs. The dual initiatives by the RIPTB demonstrate that law enforcement can prioritize safety and well-being simultaneously, creating a foundation for a healthier and more cohesive society.

Slow Down, Share the Road, and Make a Difference: Together for Safer Streets!

As the school year is in full swing, our streets are bustling with children traveling to and from school each day. Unfortunately, reports of dangerous behaviors on the road, especially in areas frequented by young students, have raised concerns among community leaders and safety advocates.

Road safety is a matter that often stirs strong emotions. Motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists alike must share the public space, which requires a heightened sense of awareness and mutual respect. Ensuring that everyone can safely move through our streets is a shared responsibility.

In response to these growing concerns, the City of Rosemère has launched a public awareness campaign to promote road safety. Supported by the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec and the Association des communicateurs municipaux du Québec, the campaign aims to promote positive road behaviors without stigmatizing bad habits. The focus is on reminding people of the small, thoughtful actions that can make a big difference—actions like slowing down, sharing the road, and being mindful of others.

As part of this initiative, the Régie intermunicipale de police Thérèse-De Blainville will be present in key locations, including school zones, to raise awareness and remind road users of their responsibilities. These efforts reinforce the importance of working together for a safer environment for everyone, particularly the youngest members of our community.

At the heart of the campaign is a simple yet powerful message: slowing down, sharing, and considering others is not only beneficial to overall safety, but it also fosters a sense of community and well-being. Whether driving, cycling, or walking, we should all take a moment to appreciate the present and make choices that contribute to a safer, more harmonious public space.

Let’s stay vigilant and work together to make our roads safer for everyone.
