The Nelson Police Department Restorative Justice Program has been designed to assist youth and adults in achieving responsible solutions to the problems created by crime and other types of harmful behaviours. Our volunteers facilitate constructive, meaningful dialogue between community members through education, role-modeling, and consensus-building.

Restorative Justice (RJ) focuses on the needs and concerns of victims and on repairing harm caused by conflict and crime. RJ involves the participation of those who have been harmed, those who have caused harm, and other affected parties in finding solutions that seek to repair harm and promote harmony.
