Community Organized Support & Prevention (COSP) is a non-profit community agency, which is under the administration of a volunteer Board of Directors. It offers community-based justice related programs for adults and young persons.COSP grew out of the visionary pursuits of a local judge who, in 1974 began using community based sentencing as a meaningful alternative to fines, which were becoming an ineffective deterrent to shoplifting. What has evolved from the concepts and endeavors of many volunteers is a comprehensive response to many justice programs.
Side by Side Services will provide the support and guidance while helping to alleviate these concerns.When there is no concern for the safety of the child a parent or caregiver will have the opportunity to have their visit with the child in the community supervised by a trained facilitator. Community Access includes parent and child activities, dining out, and other communal activies. Side by Side Services will assist in planning meaningful activities for the child and parent.Supervised Exchanges occur when there is high conflict and unresolved issues between parents, and so a neutral place to exchange children for visits is needed. This reduces the tension and lessens the safety risks for the child. Supervised Exchanges also occur when there are concerns for parents under the influence of drug or alcohol or the safety of the custodial parent during the exchange.

Ruth's first volunteer experience took place in Newfoundland, where she relocated to be near her husband, Freeman Burrows, who was serving in the navy. Work at the Red Cross in St. John's marked the beginning of her life of helping others. Soon after World War Two ended, Ruth and Freeman Burrow moved to Belleville along with their two lovely daughters Diane and Evelyn Louise. The Burrows purchased an old Victorian home on Bridge Street. Friends of the family remember Ruth as very giving. She had the gift of making everyone feel welcome.
