The public security division of Pointe-Claire was founded in March 1993. The task of the public security division included the enforcement of municipal by-laws, animal control, neighbourhood watch and assistance to citizens. The division still exists but is now called "The public security division of the city of Montreal's Borough of Pointe-Claire" ...(whew! a very long title)
