The Downtown Security Network (DSN) is a Downtown BIZ-led, Winnipeg Police Service-endorsed safety initiative. The DSN allows members to share resources and communicate immediately about safety issues so that each member can take extra precautions to protect their customers, employees and property when crimes occur, as well as keep an eye out for suspects.

The DSN is a proactive, local solution modeled on successful networks in Minneapolis and Portland, Oregon. We will also catalogue all downtown cameras to help the WPS solve crimes.

DSN membership is free for Downtown BIZ and Crown Corporation members, with a small annual fee for others. Anyone downtown with a vested interest in public safety can become a member, including small business and property owners, building and residential property managers, and security personnel.
