About
Established in 2023
The goal of Feeling Secure is to partner with neighbourhoods to create safer communities by encouraging residents to be proactive in crime prevention and safety. Feeling Secure provides a way for our neighbourhoods to take responsibility for its own safety by getting to know your neighbours and sharing information, thus reducing the opportunity for crime.
We also have private chat rooms to ask your neighbours for help (such as lost pets, lost garbage bins, physical assistance, etc.), discuss community events, and quick access to local Emergency Measures information.
Feeling Secure was created by long-time Sunshine Coast resident, Carson Thompson after the average crime and vandalism statistics started rising in his quiet community.
Currently, Feeling Secure only comprises the Oceanmount community. In the future we hope to have a private community forum for each neighbourhood on the Sunshine Coast. If you are interested in becoming part of this community, please reach out.
