Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers 5 Dear Supporter, It gives me great pleasure as President of the Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers to introduce this Annual Crime Prevention Guide, focusing on the topic of Bullying Awareness. This community publication would not be possible without the ongoing support from the business owners of Saskatchewan. Thank you so much for your support of our project. What is Bullying? The term “bullying” refers to habitually cruel, overbearing, aggressive or intimidating behaviour many times focused toward smaller or weaker people. There are many different forms of bullying our children are faced with, and in recent years “Online Bullying” has become more prevalent. Awareness, education and strengthened communities are essential in the prevention of bullying. As you read through this publication, I hope you find the information helpful. If you become aware of a situation involving bullying, it is your obligation to contact your local Police Force, school officials or someone in a position to stop the abuse. Together, we can stop bullying!
