Whether you are a parent, family member, teacher, school administrator or police officer, this is the right place to learn about Start Smart Stay Safe (S4) and how you can bring this positive change to your community.

S4 is a collaborative initiative between the Calgary Police Service (CPS), Calgary Board of Education (CBE), Calgary Catholic School District (CCSD) and Mount Royal University (MRU).

S4 is a proactive, strengths-based model of teaching/learning where police, families, and schools partner together to actively build positive relationships, create safe communities and prepare children for the challenges of our complex, changing world.
