On Monday, April 19, 2010, at 10 a.m., in the auditorium at police headquarters, the Toronto Police Service will be unveiling two TAVIS community videos created by Seneca College Corporate Media students.

The videos were created to increase public awareness about TAVIS and the TAVIS efforts underway in Toronto neighbourhoods. One video will focus on informing the community about TAVIS and the community role in TAVIS for adults. The second video will focus on youth and their role in TAVIS.

Seneca College is the only Canadian community college that teaches social marketing from the perspective of behaviour modification. These campaigns target prevailing and current social issues.

The Toronto Anti−Violence Intervention Strategy (TAVIS) is a Ministry of Community Safetyand Correctional Services provincially funded initiative dedicated to creating and maintaining sustainable, safe neighbourhoods.

TAVIS initiatives are operating in all of the 17 Toronto
police Divisions and are supported by every unit in the Service.
