Mr. Harper: Don't let Insite close

The positive impact on public security includes reducing the social nuisance associated with drug use and drug-related crime. Instead of punishing drug users, safe-injection sites provide the police with an opportunity to engage with the drug users and alleviate the harm drug use has traditionally caused communities. As such, police officers are able to develop a positive relationship with both the users and the society affected by drug use and drug-related crime. Furthermore, the people living in those communities affected most by high rates of drug abuse tend to feel safer after safe-injection sites have been implemented in their communities.
