Community Safety and Well-Being Planning in Ontario
Brampton Community Safety Advisory Committee
Public Safety Division
Monday September 16, 2019 Purpose
• To provide an overview of the new legislative requirements related to mandating community safety and well-being (CSWB) planning under the current Police Services Act. • To highlight Ontario’s modernized approach to CSWB planning, including: ✓ the CSWB Planning Framework; and ✓ the CSWB planning process. • To outline provincial tools and resources available to help support the CSWB planning process, including the Risk-driven Tracking Database (RTD).
2 Ministry of the Solicitor General Mandating CSWB Planning
➢ New legislative amendments outlined under Part XI, Section 143 of the current Police Services Act (1990) mandates every municipal council to prepare and adopt a CSWB plan. • First Nation band councils are encouraged to engage in CSWB planning but will not be required to do so by legislation.
➢ This new legislative requirement for CSWB planning came into force on January 1, 2019, and municipalities have two years from this date to prepare and adopt a plan (i.e., by January 1, 2021) [s. 143 (3)].
➢ Under the legislation [s. 4 (1)], the responsibility to prepare and adopt a CSWB plan applies to: • single-tier municipalities; • lower-tier municipalities in the County of Oxford and in counties; and • regional municipalities, other than the County of Oxford.
➢ Municipalities have the discretion and flexibility to develop joint plans with surrounding municipalities or First Nation communities [s.143 (2)].
3 Ministry of the Solicitor General Mandating CSWB Planning (cont’d) Additional legislative requirements related to CSWB planning include:
➢ Establishing a multi-sectoral advisory committee, including representatives from, but not limited to [s. 145 (3)]: • LHINs or health/mental health services; • Educational services; • Community/social services (if there is such an entity); • Community/social services to children or youth (if there is such an entity); • Custodial services to children or youth (if there is such an entity); • Municipal council member or municipal employee; • The police service board or a detachment commander (or delegate); • The chief of police of a police service that provides policing in the area (or delegate). • New addition under the Comprehensive Ontario Police Service Act, 2019
➢ Conducting consultations with the advisory committee, members of public, including youth, members of racialized groups and of First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities, as well as community organizations that represent these groups [s. 145 (6)].
➢ Contents of the plan [s. 146]: • Identifying priority risk factors (e.g. without limitation, systemic discrimination and other social factors that contribute to crime, victimization, addiction, drug overdose and suicide); • Identifying strategies to reduce the prioritized risk factors (e.g. new services, changing/coordinating existing services); • Setting measurable outcomes.
4 Ministry of the Solicitor General Mandating CSWB Planning (cont’d)
➢ Regulatory requirements related to CSWB planning include [s. 149 (2), O. Reg. 527/18]: • Publishing a completed CSWB plan within 30 days after adopting the plan in the following manner: ✓ Online; ✓ In print for review by anyone who requests it; and ✓ In any other manner or form determined by the municipality.
➢ Additional regulations prescribing requirements related to monitoring, evaluating, reporting, and reviewing of the CSWB plan may be outlined at a later date.
5 Ministry of the Solicitor General Context
• The ministry has worked with its inter-ministerial, policing and community partners to develop a modernized approach to CSWB that addresses crime and complex social issues on a sustainable basis.
• Ontario’s modernized approach to CSWB was developed in three phases with each phase resulted in the release of a booklet:
2012 2014 2017

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT Critical and non- Areas of critical incident 4 PREVENTION Focus: response RISK Mitigating INTERVENTION situations of 3 Collaboration elevated risk
INCIDENT RESPONSE Proactively Information reducing 2 Sharing identified risks
Promoting and Performance maintaining safety 1 Measurement and well-being
7 Ministry of the Solicitor General Cost-Benefits of CSWB Planning
➢ Research has shown that developing and implementing strategies and programs that are proactive and focused on social development, prevention and early intervention, reduce the financial burden of crime through cost-effective approaches that have significant return on investments. • Economic evaluation has shown that preventing just one career criminal can save society over $2 million1. • Studies confirm that a dollar invested now in crime prevention and early intervention (e.g., parent training or preventing a young person from dropping out of school) saves seven dollars spent on incarceration, victim services and other associated criminal justice costs in the future. Further, a dollar for enriched child care saves $17 in criminal justice costs in the future2. • A study completed in 2016 by Public Safety Canada highlights an example of the economic impact of a chronic young offender into adult criminal life3: ▪ Total cost of criminal path without interventions (up until age 30): $1.4 million ▪ Costs averted with strategies that address acutely elevated risks: $0.89 million ▪ Costs averted by early intervention strategies: $1.2 million 8 Ministry of the Solicitor General Benefits of CSWB Planning Better coordination of services Enhanced collaboration Significant among sectors cost-benefits
Increased understanding of Transformation of risks & service delivery vulnerable groups
Individuals with complex needs Increased receive awareness appropriate and access to services services

11 Ministry of the Solicitor General RTD Project The RTD provides a standardized means of gathering de-identified information on situations of elevated risk for communities implementing multi-sectoral risk intervention models, such as Situation Tables.
It is one tool that supports these models by helping communities collect data about local priorities and evolving trends to assist with the CSWB planning process.
The Ministry has leveraged the work of Saskatchewan to develop a customized solution that meets Ontario’s needs. As a result, Ontario’s data elements align with other jurisdictions across Canada to allow for national comparatives.
As of May 2019, 52 sites across Ontario have been on-boarded to the RTD with 57 expected by the December of 2019.

The Strategy to Address Human Sex Trafficking in Peel
Sonia Pace, Director, Community Partnerships Human Services, Region of Peel Revised Key Human Sex Trafficking Facts
• 70 per cent of Ontario’s reported cases of human trafficking are for the purposes of sexual exploitation. • The majority of survivors are Canadian citizens or permanent residents. • 62.5% of cases originate in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). • Victims age ranges from 13 to 24 years old. • The rate of human trafficking incidents in Peel is higher in comparison to Canada, Ontario and Toronto, especially in 2016. Revised Key System Gaps
• Lack of dedicated housing for survivors • Lack of coordinated approach to prevention programs • Need for simplified systems navigation • Need for safe dedicated housing options
It takes approximately seven attempts to leave human sex trafficking before a victim exits permanently Revised The Strategy to Address Human Sex Trafficking in Peel
On June 14, 2018, Peel Regional Council endorsed the ‘Strategy to Address Human Sex Trafficking in Peel Region’, in alignment with Peel’s Housing and Homelessness Plan. The Strategy aims to: • Provide services that focus on the individual’s needs and trauma and are based on human rights and harm reduction. • Coordinate an approach to support victims and survivors. • Bridge the gap in services for victims and survivors. • Provide safe housing options and accessible programming. The Strategy is based on three main pillars: 1. Prevention 2. Intervention 3. Exits/Housing Strategy Framework and Three PillarsRevised

Anti-Human Sex Trafficking Strategy Team Region of Peel [email protected] From: Danielle Dowdy Sent: Saturday, September 7, 2019 11:17 AM To: Jackson, Tammi
Good morning all,
Let me start off by apologizing for leaving "early" at the last meeting. I left at 9pm due to needing to pick up my children from childcare. I didn't think the meeting would have gone so late given that there were only a few presentations on the agenda. My leaving almost caused the meeting to end as my presence filled our quorum requirement. My understanding is that the meeting went until 10:45pm and could have gone on longer if someone didn't leave and break quorum.
Can we think of ways to make the meetings end at a respectable time? Earlier start? Timed agendas? Incorporating hard end times? 10 minute presentations? Limiting the amount of presentations per meeting? Limiting questions to 1 plus 1 follow up? I'm not sure what the answer is or combination of answers are, but meetings that run close to midnight are not practical, sustainable, or feasible in the long term - especially for those of us who have already had a full day at work and have to be up early in the morning for work the next day.
I hope that we can discuss how to tighten up our meetings to be more effective and streamlined at our next meeting.
Thanks, Danielle
