The National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) is an integral part of the Government of Canada's action plan to tackle crime in order to build stronger, healthier communities.

The NCPS provides a policy framework for the implementation of crime prevention interventions in Canada. It is jointly managed with the provinces and territories and administered by the National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) in the Community Safety and Partnerships Branch of Public Safety Canada.
