Councillor Rino Bortolin asked if there were an ability to track when the Service isn’t deploying an officer and a social service agencies is the first point of contact after receiving a call for service. Deputy Chief Jason Bellaire confirmed that if another organization or agency deals with the first contact of a situation that agency would be responsible to track statistics as the host agency. WPS may help facilitate the transition of people from the encampment to the support services and we can track that to a varying degree. However, what the Service has been tracking so far have been the immediate contact of officers to a support agency. If the Board is looking for numbers on collaborative efforts we can do some internal searches and report back at a later date.

A. Noise By-law

Councillor Rino Bortolin stated that in the summer months the call volume increases due to loud noise emanating from calls or motorcycles. At the City level, he confirmed that there was noise bylaw verbiage that was adjusted to make it easier to enforce, such as removing the term “street-racing”.

He went on to ask what are the current enforcement patterns or policies, or can it be adapted to be more aggressive in part to the new changes. Deputy Chief Bellaire stated that there has been discussions with the traffic division and patrol officers for these new changes to the bylaws. Currently, it is operational enforced on a complaint basis, and when complaints are received patrol will investigate and be designated to the issues at hand. As the bylaw change is new the Service is continuing to evaluate how to properly add enforcement to guide these complaints.

Councillor Rino Bortolin further asked what the best point of contact is for members of the community to reach out to in that moment of increase noise due to these situations. Deputy Chief Bellaire stated that complaints can be made online through road watch, non-emergency line and also through their local BIA can create a package or catalogue of incidents and send them to WPS in order to help facilitate enforcement in a given area.

REDACTED SECTION 11 REVIEW SIU 19-OCI-146

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This review pursuant to section 11 of Ontario Regulation 267/10 made under the Police Services Act will review the applicable policies of the Service, the services provided and the conduct of its members. Certain recommendations, where noted, made because of this review are addressed within this report.

BACKGROUND On June 25, 2019, the Windsor Police Service contacted the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of the Ministry of the Solicitor General because of Windsor Police event #2019- 39725. Communication with the SIU is to maintain consistent adherence with provincial legislative requirements during an exigent matter that required clear and direct communication. It was determined that the facts-in-issue regarding the events with respect to the injuries sustained by the Complainant met the threshold as defined by the Honourable Justice John Osler. This information exchange as to the details of the aforementioned event caused the SIU to invoke their mandate and commence an investigation into the actions of the designated Windsor Police Service Officers in accordance with section 113(5) of the Police Services Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P.15. Section 11 of Ontario Regulation 267/10 made under the Police Services Act requires the Chief of Police to commence an investigation forthwith into any incidents in which the SIU invokes its mandate. Assigned to this investigation was Sergeant Paolo DiCarlo of the Windsor Police Service Professional Standards Risk Management Unit. This report is based on, a factual review of events, the actions of the involved officers and a review of applicable Windsor Police Service policies.

METHODOLOGY Identified for review and detailed in the ‘scope of review’ section, are applicable directives and policies administered by the Windsor Police Service. A review was to ensure compliance with the Police Services Act of Ontario and comprised Regulations, including the Ontario Policing Standards and overall policing “best practices”.

SCOPE OF REVIEW This review pursuant to section 11 of Ontario Regulation 267/10 made under the Police Services Act will review the applicable Policies of the Service, the services provided and the conduct of its members. Examined in relation to this incident were the following Windsor Police Service Directives: Windsor Police Service Directive – Special Investigations Unit #716-01 Windsor Police Service Directive – In-Service Training #330-01 Windsor Police Service Directive – Motor Vehicle Collision Investigation #820-01 Windsor Police Service Directive – Arrest #730-01

SUMMARY On May 7, 2019, Windsor Police Constables from both the Target Base and Problem Oriented Policing Units (POP) were attempting to locate and arrest the Complainant for several criminal code offences including dangerous driving. Information received was that the Complainant was in the town of Tecumseh operating a black GMC Envoy. Target Base officers were in that area and as a result "POP" officers took up positions at the City limits in the event that the Complainant fled back into Windsor. The Windsor police Service contacted the Ontario Provincial Police for assistance. Windsor Police Constables advised that they had located the suspect vehicle parked in the Town of Tecumseh. They believed at first the vehicle was un-occupied but later realized that the Complainant was sleeping inside. An arrest plan was formulated to arrest the Complainant, taking into account that he may be in possession of a firearm and that he had been fleeing from officers over a three-day period, each time driving in a dangerous manner with no regard for his surroundings and the safety of others. Officers utilized their Police vehicles with all emergency lights activated and a set of stop sticks. Officers attempted to wake up the Complainant and advise him that he was under arrest. The Complainant put his vehicle into reverse, accelerated quickly and reversed at a high rate of speed into a Windsor Police vehicle pushing it over a curb and completely disabling it. The Complainant then fled the scene in his vehicle using the back yards of several residences. The Complainant abandon the vehicle a few blocks away and was apprehended and arrested by the Subject Officers after a brief foot chase. During a preliminary investigation of an Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD) conduct complaint filed by the Complainant, it was discovered that the Complainant had suffered a serious injury during his arrest on May 7, 2019. Because of the injuries sustained by the Complainant and as set out in subsection 113 (5) and pursuant to O/Reg. 267/10 s.3 of the Ontario Police Services Act, the Windsor Police Service contacted the Special Investigation Unit of the Ministry of the Solicitor General

REDACTED SECTION 11 REVIEW SIU 19-OCI-146 Page 3

on June 25, 2019. On July 9, 2019, the Special Investigation Unit identified two Windsor Police Constables as the subject officers as well as nine witness officers. On June 3, 2020, the Special Investigations Unit notified Chief Pamela Mizuno that pursuant to s. 11(4) of regulation 267/10 under the Police Services Act, the investigation into the injury sustained by the Complainant that occurred on May 7, 2019 had been completed. The Special Investigations Unit advised that there were no grounds in the evidence to proceed with criminal charges against either of the Subject Officers.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT Windsor Police Service Directive #716-01 – Effective Date: 2018-11-01 Rationale: The Police Services Act (Part Vll) establishes the Special Investigations Unit of the Ministry of the Solicitor General. Its mandate is to cause investigations to be conducted into circumstances of serious injuries and deaths that may have resulted from criminal offences committed by police officers. S.113 (9) of the Act requires members of the Windsor Police Service to co-operate fully with members of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU). Regulation 267/10 addresses the conduct and duties of police officers with respect to SIU investigations. The purpose of this Directive is to ensure that members of the Service fulfill their legislated duty to co- operate with the SIU. Ontario Regulation 267/10 made under the Police Services Act states in section 11(1): The Chief of Police shall also cause an investigation to be conducted forthwith into any incident with respect to which the S.I.U. has been notified, subject to the SIU’s lead role in investigating the incident. Section 11(4) provides the authority to make the report available to the public. Findings: The effective date of this directive was 2018/11/01. At the time of the incident, the directive was up to date. The policy meets Ministry guidelines and there are no recommendations regarding changes to the policy because of this Section 11 review. All officers were in full compliance and adhered to the directive.

IN-SERVICE TRAINING Windsor Police Service Directive #330-01 – Effective Date: 2019-04-01 Rationale: The objective of the In-Service Training directive is to develop and maintain the knowledge, skills and abilities of the members of the Windsor Police Service. This will be achieved through a succession of training programs, consistent with provincial government established Adequacy Standards, or as designated by the Chief of Police. This directive addresses the responsibility of members for career development, skills development and learning.

REDACTED SECTION 11 REVIEW SIU 19-OCI-146 Page 4

The purpose of this Directive is to establish and clarify the responsibility of members to attend and participate in In-Service Training programs. Findings: The effective date of this directive was 2019/04/01. At the time of the incident, the directive was up to date. The policy meets Ministry guidelines and there are no recommendations regarding changes to the policy because of this Section 11 review. All officers were in full compliance and adhered to the directive.

MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION INVESTIGATION

Windsor Police Service Directive #820-01 – Effective Date: 2018-10-01 Rationale: The Highway Traffic Act legislates that Police Services are required to investigate and report motor vehicle collisions. The requirements to fulfill these duties are significant in terms of police resources and time management. The purpose of this directive is to provide members with the process and procedures to follow when investigating motor vehicle collisions. Findings: The effective date of this directive was 2018/10/01. At the time of the incident, the directive was up to date. The policy meets Ministry guidelines and there are no recommendations regarding changes to the policy because of this Section 11 review. All officers were in full compliance and adhered to the directive.

ARREST

Windsor Police Service Directive #730-01 – Effective Date: 2019-03-01 Rationale: The purpose of this Directive is to establish policy and procedures with respect to Arrest, which encompasses the legal, constitutional and case law requirements relating to arrest. This directive will outline that all arrests of persons shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Code, Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Provincial Statutes and Common Law, and that the rights of all arrested persons under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms shall be protected. Findings: The effective date of this directive was 2019/03/01. At the time of the incident, the directive was up to date. The policy meets Ministry guidelines and there are no recommendations regarding changes to the policy because of this Section 11 review. All officers were in full compliance and adhered to the directive.

USE OF FORCE

Windsor Police Service Directive #711-00 – Effective Date: 2018-06-01

REDACTED SECTION 11 REVIEW SIU 19-OCI-146 Page 5

Rationale: The authority to use force on a person carries a great responsibility. It is incumbent on a Police Service to provide the proper tools, training and guidance to its Members to ensure that this responsibility is always paramount in the decision making process. It is important that the Service have access to information concerning the frequency and types of force used by police and the circumstances under which it occurs. This information is used to guide local training, refine policy and assist in the identification of provincial trends and training needs. The purpose of this Directive is to establish policy and procedures with respect to the reporting of use of force required by PSA O. Regulation 926. The other directives in the 711 series are specific to the various Use of Force tools.

Ontario Use of Force Model

Findings:

The effective date of this directive was 2018/06/01. At the time of the incident, the directive was up to date. The policy meets Ministry guidelines and there are no recommendations regarding changes to the policy because of this Section 11 review. The review discovered that Use of Force Report submissions were not all completed as required. The Complainant in the SIU investigation required medical attention because of the application of force by the involved Officers. As per Directive 711-01 Use of Force, Use of Force Report submissions were required. The officers were coached with respect to the policy and the Ministry requirements. Use of Force Reports were completed and submitted as per the Directive. No further action is required.

SERVICES The Investigator reviewed the ‘Services’ provided by Members of the Service. This review found no issues with the ‘Services’ that were provided.

CONDUCT On May 7, 2019, officers with the Windsor Police Service Target Based Unit and Problem-Oriented Policing Unit were looking to locate and arrest the Complainant. They had information that the Complainant may be in possession of a firearm and had in the past rammed police vehicles while fleeing from apprehension. Shortly after 10:30 p.m., the Complainant was located asleep in the driver’s seat of a parked SUV. Officers converged on the area and planned their approach to the vehicle. Officers laid a tire deflation device in front of the SUV’s front tires and attempted to open the driver’s door but found it locked. Officers used a baton to break the driver’s door glass. The Complainant was awakened and told he was under arrest. Instead of complying, the Complainant placed his vehicle in reverse and accelerated colliding with a police vehicle and almost striking an Officer in the process. Following the collision, the Complainant sped off from the scene through residential yards.

REDACTED SECTION 11 REVIEW SIU 19-OCI-146 Page 7

A short time later, the Complainant was located on the premises of a gas station in the town of Tecumseh. By the time officers began arriving at the scene, the Complainant was on the ground struggling with the Subject Officers. The Subject Officers delivered punches to the Complainant’s mid-body area as they attempted to overcome his resistance and effect his arrest. An additional WPS Constable, concerned that the Complainant might be trying to access a firearm with both of his arms tucked tightly underneath his chest while prone of the ground, punched the Complainant twice to the left side of the face. Following the punches to the face, the Complainant’s arms were secured and restrained in handcuffs. Section 25(1) of the Criminal Code states; Every one who is required or authorized by law to do anything in the administration or enforcement of the law, as a private person, as a peace officer or public officer, in aid of a peace officer or public officer, or by virtue of his office, is, if he acts on reasonable grounds, justified in doing what he is required or authorized to do and in using as much force as is necessary for that purpose. Police officers are immune from criminal liability for force used in the course of their lawful duties provided such force was no more than was reasonably necessary in the execution of an act that they were required or authorized to do by law. Police officers are immune from criminal liability for force used in the course of their lawful duties provided such force was no more than was reasonably necessary in the execution of an act that they were required or authorized to do by law. Officers are not expected to measure the degree of their responsive force to a nicety (R. v. Baxter (1975) 27 C.C.C. (2d) 96 (Ont. C.A.) nor should they be judged to a standard of perfection (R. v. Nasogaluk [2010] 1 S.C.R. 6.). On May 7, 2019, the Subject Officers were clearly in the lawful execution of their duties when they arrested the Complainant and used as much force as necessary to effect that arrest and the actions exercised by them fell within the limits prescribed by criminal law. The Complainant, over the course of several days displayed erratic, violent and dangerous behavior in order to evade arrest. On May 7, 2019, Officers devised operational plans to ensure the safety of the public as well as the health and safety of the Complainant. Despite all this, the Complainant decided to flee the scene in a violent manner and it was his behavior and his choice that displayed a total disregard for the wellbeing and safety of others by creating a dangerous situation. After reviewing policies, procedures and services provided with respect to this Section 11 review, I identified no conduct issues regarding the actions of the Subject Officer or any other member of the Windsor Police Service on May 7, 2019. In addition, as outlined in the Police Services Act of Ontario, s. 113(9), all Windsor Police Service members co-operated fully and as required with the Special Investigation Unit’s investigation.

CONCLUSION Joseph Martino, Director Special Investigations Unit, stated; on my assessment of the evidence, there are no reasonable grounds to believe that either subject officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the Complainant’s arrest and injuries. Importantly, it is also belied by the Complainant’s violent and reckless behaviour in the hours preceding his arrest in which he amply demonstrated a wanton disregard for the

REDACTED SECTION 11 REVIEW SIU 19-OCI-146 Page 8

health and safety of persons around him, including officers, as he endeavoured to elude officers with an “escape at all costs” mindset. On the circumstances, I am satisfied that the incriminating evidence is simply insufficiently trustworthy to warrant being placed to the test by a trier-of-fact. Moreover, the injuries the Complainant suffered are incapable of tipping the balance in the Complainant’s favour as they, in my view, appear at least as consistent with having been caused by the force described by the witness officers and/or the Complainant’s motor vehicle collision with a police vehicle in the Town of Tecumseh. Director Martino continued; turning to the propriety of the force used by the officers in arresting the Complainant, I am satisfied based on the weight of the reliable evidence that the officers did not cross the line. I accept that the Complainant was punched two to three times to the mid-body by each of Subject Officer #1 and Subject Officer #2, and twice to the face by Witness Officer #6, before he was handcuffed. However, I also accept that these strikes fell within the range of what was reasonably necessary to overcome the Complainant’s strenuous resistance on the ground and have him release his arms from underneath his body. In arriving at this determination, it is important to note that the officers had cause to fear the Complainant might be armed with a gun and, thus, good reason to want to arrest him quickly and resolutely. In the final analysis, whether the Complainant’s injuries occurred during his arrest or were inflicted in the motor vehicle collision that preceded his apprehension, I am unable to reasonably conclude on the evidence that any officer used excessive force. Accordingly, there is no basis to proceed with charges in this case and the file is closed.

MEMORANDUM TO: Richard Stubbings Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division Ministry of the Solicitor General FROM: Nosa Ero-Brown A/Assistant Deputy Minister Road User Safety Division Ministry of Transportation SUBJECT: Service of Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) Summonses ______The purpose of this memorandum is to advise the policing community across the province about recommended practices related to the issuance of summonses for speeding offences in which a vehicle was captured by an automated speed enforcement (ASE) system travelling 50 km/h or more above the posted speed limit. On December 1st, 2019, the province enacted changes under the Highway Traffic Act (HTA) that give municipalities the option to use speed enforcement camera technology, in designated school zones and community safety zones with speed limits under 80 km/h, where the risk of speed-related collisions, injuries and fatalities is greatest. Municipalities that are deploying ASE in school and community safety zones will be using a Joint Processing Centre (JPC) operated by the City of Toronto to review images and lay charges. When detected through the use of ASE, the offence of speeding is an owner liability offence only and the defendant is the plate registrant on the records of the Ministry of Transportation. For vehicles travelling at 50 km/h or more over the posted speed limit, charges will be laid using the Part III Provincial Offences Act procedures. As a result, information will be laid alleging the offence of speeding under Section 128 of the HTA only, and there will be summonses requiring service on the defendant plate registrants. The JPC, which is staffed by provincial offences officers, will be seeking the assistance of police services throughout Ontario to serve summonses on individual plate registrants and to return the completed affidavit of service to the JPC. Assistance is not required for all defendants due to provisions which allow for service by mail on corporations and other entities. No charges will be laid under the Stunt Driving legislation for ASE incidents where the speeds are 50 km/h or more above the posted limit or speeds that are a marked departure from the lawful rate of speed. Vehicle impoundments and drivers licence suspensions do not apply. Part I of the Provincial Offences Act will be used to charge defendant plate registrants for speeds in excess of the posted speed limits up to and including 49 km/h. It is notable that, on March 17th, 2020, Ontario declared a state of emergency due to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. As a result of the outbreak, the province has temporarily closed non-essential services, and Ontario Courts of Justice are operating on a reduced schedule. Municipalities also administer the courts in which Provincial Offences Act, including ASE offences, are heard. Most Provincial Offences Act court locations have also closed their offices to the public and are functioning with reduced staff. This is further to the recommendations from their local public health officials. Consequently, municipalities are not pursuing any ASE offences at this time. However, as restrictions ease, municipalities will begin to move towards full implementation of their ASE programs and begin laying charges. If members of the law enforcement community would like to discuss the ASE Program they may contact Erik Thomsen, Acting Manager of MTO's Road Safety Policy Office at 647-638-5210 or at [email protected]. Questions regarding service of the Part III summonses should be directed to Daniel Pecchia, Manager of the ASE Joint Processing Centre ([email protected]) Thank you for your assistance in communicating these changes.

FROM: Ian Freeman Assistant Deputy Minister Integrated Policy and Planning Division Ministry of Transportation

RE: Amendment to the Ontario Highway Traffic Act Regulation 620/05 (High Occupancy Vehicles) – Allowing Access for Single-Occupant Taxicabs and Airport Limousines

This memorandum is to advise that effective immediately the existing exemption to allow licensed single-occupant (driver only) taxicabs and airport limousines to use provincial High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes has been made permanent.

Amendment Details and Eligibility:

Taxicabs and Airport Limousines

This amendment provides a permanent exemption for licensed taxicabs and airport limousines without passengers to access provincial HOV lanes, which are generally reserved for carpools buses, emergency vehicles, green-plated vehicles, and motorcycles. A pilot regulation to allow taxicabs and airport limousines to use HOV lanes has been in place since 2012 to promote more efficient use of the transportation network by allowing taxis/limos to reach their passengers more quickly and support accessibility for people without cars. The amendment removes a sunset clause that would have had the exemption expire on July 1, 2020

There is no impact to municipal roadways. This amendment only applies to the provincial HOV lanes operating on Highways 403, 404, 410, 417, 427 and the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW).

Taxicabs and airport limousines must display a rear mounted registration plate issued by either the municipality or the airport authority which has licensed the vehicle to provide passenger transportation services (see attached example).

There is existing short-form wording for the offence of improper use of an HOV lane in subsection 154.1(3) of the Highway Traffic Act, and set out as item 460.2 on Schedule 43 of Regulation 950, made under the Provincial Offences Act. The set fine amount remains at $85.

ITEM COLUMN 1 COLUMN 2 SET FINE SECTION 460.2 Improper use of high occupancy vehicle 154.1(3) $85.00 lane

Provincial highway signage installed along HOV corridors will remain in effect permanently unless otherwise notified (see attached example).

I would ask that you bring this memorandum to the attention of the policing community. Inquiries regarding this amendment can be directed to Michael Casey in the Ministry’s Transportation Planning Branch at 416-618-6406.

Thank you for your assistance,

MEMORANDUM TO: All Chiefs of Police and Commissioner Thomas Carrique Chairs, Police Services Boards

FROM: Richard Stubbings Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division

SUBJECT: Proclamation of the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020

DATE OF ISSUE: July 24, 2020 CLASSIFICATION: For Action RETENTION: Indefinite INDEX NO.: 20-0119 PRIORITY: High

Thank you to all police services for your support to date in enforcing emergency orders under the provincial Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA) and helping to keep communities safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.

As you may be aware, on July 21, 2020, the Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020 (“ROA”) received Royal Assent. The ROA has been proclaimed into force today, July 24, 2020, to coincide with the ending of the declared provincial emergency.

The ROA gives the Ontario government the necessary flexibility to address the ongoing risks and effects of the COVID-19 outbreak once the declared provincial emergency under the EMCPA ends. It provides that:

• Emergency orders in effect under the EMCPA as of July 24 are continued under the ROA for an initial 30 days. • The Lieutenant Governor in Council may further extend these orders under the ROA for up to 30 days at a time. • The Lieutenant Governor in Council may amend certain orders continued under the ROA if the amendment relates to: o Labour redeployment or workplace and management rules; o Closure of places and spaces or regulation of how businesses and establishments can be open to provide goods or services in a safe manner; …/2

-2-

o Compliance with public health advice; or, o Rules related to gatherings and organized public events.

The ROA does not allow new orders to be created. Furthermore, the ability to extend and amend orders under the ROA is limited to one year, unless extended by the legislature. The ROA mandates regular reporting by the government to the public and Legislative Assembly of Ontario to ensure oversight and transparency.

To review the legislation, you may visit: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/20r17.

For further information including which orders have been continued under the ROA, who is designated to enforce orders continued under the ROA and offences and penalties, please review the attached set of supporting Questions and Answers for enforcement personnel.

I trust that this information is of assistance. Should officers have any questions related to enforcement of orders continued under the ROA, they may reach out to [email protected]. Please note that this dedicated email address is only for enforcement personnel and should not be shared publicly.

Sincerely,

Richard Stubbings Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division

Qs and As for Enforcement Personnel Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020 (ROA)

1. Who is designated to enforce orders under the ROA?

As was the case under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act (EMCPA), all police officers, First Nations Constables and special constables may enforce orders that have been continued in effect under the ROA. In addition, the following personnel are designated to enforce orders that have been continued in effect under the ROA:

• All provincial offences officers designated by a minister of the Crown. • All municipal law enforcement officers. • All by-law enforcement officers of a municipality or local board of a municipality. • All officers, employees or agents of a municipality or local board of a municipality whose responsibilities include enforcement of by-laws, Acts or regulations.

2. What orders continue to be in effect under the ROA?

All orders in effect under the EMCPA as of the day the ROA comes into force will be continued under the ROA for an initial 30 days, apart from the orders outlined under Question 3, which have expired or will be revoked.

The Lieutenant Governor in Council may further extend orders continued under the ROA for up to 30 days at a time.

To find orders that continue to be in effect under the ROA, please visit the link to the Act on e-Laws at https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/20r17 and click on the “Regulations under this Act” tab.

We encourage enforcement personnel to continue to monitor www.ontario.ca/alert for information on updates to orders and order expiries/revocations.

3. What orders are no longer in effect or have been consolidated under the ROA?

The following orders have recently expired or will be revoked, and will not be continuing in effect under the ROA:

Expired on July 17: • Ontario Regulation 52/20 – Organized Public Events, Certain Gatherings • Ontario Regulation 104/20 – Closure of Outdoor Recreational Amenities

Please note that restrictions previously outlined in Ontario Regulation 52/20 and Ontario Regulation 104/20 continue to be in effect; these restrictions have been incorporated into the orders governing stages of reopening which will continue to be in effect under the ROA (e.g., Ontario Regulation 364/20 – Rules for Areas in Stage 3).

Expired on July 22: • Ontario Regulation 120/20 – Access to COVID-19 Status Information by Specified Persons

The following three orders will be revoked as of July 23, 2020 before the ROA comes into force and will not be continued under the ROA:

Current as of July 24, 2020 Page 1 of 5

• Ontario Regulation 89/20 – Traffic Management; • Ontario Regulation 128/20 – Pick Up and Delivery of Cannabis; and, • Ontario Regulation 140/20 – Agreements Between Health Service Providers and Retirement Homes.

4. Will the orders that continue under the ROA apply to First Nation communities? Yes. Emergency orders under the EMCPA apply to all parts of Ontario, including First Nations communities, and this would also be the case for orders continued under the ROA once in force. As noted under Question 1, First Nations Constables will have the authority to enforce orders that are continued under the ROA.

5. What are the offences and penalties under the ROA?

The following offences and maximum penalties are set out under section 10(1) of the ROA:

“Every person who fails to comply with a continued section 7.0.2 order or who interferes with or obstructs any person in the exercise of a power or the performance of a duty conferred by such an order is guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction,

(a) in the case of an individual, subject to clause (b), to a fine of not more than $100,000 and for a term of imprisonment of not more than one year; (b) in the case of an individual who is a director or officer of a corporation, to a fine of not more than $500,000 and for a term of imprisonment of not more than one year; and (c) in the case of a corporation, to a fine of not more than $10,000,000.”

Enforcement personnel may continue to issue a ticket under Part I of the Provincial Offences Act (POA) (see question 6 below for set fines) or a summons under Part III of the POA.

A person is guilty of a separate offence on each day that an offence under subsection (1) occurs or continues (section 10(2)). Therefore, a separate charge can be laid for each day an offence occurs or continues.

Despite the maximum fines set out in subsection (1), the court that convicts a person of an offence may increase a fine imposed on the person by an amount equal to the financial benefit that was acquired by or that accrued to the person as a result of the commission of the offence (section 10(3)).

Note that no person can be charged with an offence under subsection (1) for failing to comply with or interference or obstruction in respect of an order that has been amended retroactive to a date that is specified in the amendment, if the failure to comply, interference or obstruction is in respect of conduct to which the retroactive amendment applies and the conduct occurred before the retroactive amendment was made but after the retroactive date specified in the amendment (section 10(4)).

Current as of July 24, 2020 2

6. Has the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice ordered and established new set fines under the ROA? Where can I find the order?

The Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice has issued set fines for offences under the ROA. The set fines order can be found at: https://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/how-do- i/set-fines/set-fines-i/schedule-80-1/.

7. What is the short-form wording to be used on offence notices?

The short-form wording can be found in Schedule 80.1 of R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 950: Proceedings Commenced by Certificate of Offence under the POA.

8. Will the province be providing updated offence notices with the new short-form wording?

Offence notices are the responsibility of the employer to provide.

9. Will limitation periods continue to be suspended under the ROA?

Yes. Ontario Regulation 73/20: Limitation Periods will be continued under the ROA, which means that suspensions of limitation periods provided by that order will continue to be in effect.

This includes limitation periods related to the POA. That is, time periods that normally apply under the POA (whether Part I, II or III), such as the time period for fighting a ticket, appealing a conviction, or paying a fine, continue to be suspended.

The government intends to keep this order in effect until September 11, 2020.

10. Does the ROA contain the power to seek an injunction for failure to comply with an order?

Yes. Pursuant to section 9 of the ROA, the contravention by any person of a continued section 7.0.2 order may be restrained by order of a judge of the Superior Court of Justice upon application without notice by the Crown in right of Ontario or a member of the Executive Council and the judge may make the order and it may be enforced in the same manner as any other order or judgment of the Superior Court of Justice.

11. Do I still have the power to ask for identifying information from individuals if I have reasonable and probable grounds to believe they have committed an offence under the ROA?

Yes. Ontario Regulation 114/20 – Enforcement of Orders has been continued under the ROA. It provides that a police officer or any other provincial offences officer within the meaning of subsection 1 (1) of the Provincial Offences Act who has reasonable and probable grounds to believe that an individual has:

• Failed to comply with an order that was made under subsection 7.0.2 (4) of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act; or,

Current as of July 24, 2020 3

• Interfered with or obstructed any person in the exercise of a power or the performance of a duty conferred by an order made under that subsection;

can require the individual to provide the officer with their correct name, date of birth and address. The individual is required to promptly comply with such a demand.

A provincial offences officer can only require an individual to identify themselves if the officer has reasonable and probable grounds to believe the individual is violating an order under the ROA, and the demand to identify is made for the purpose of issuing a ticket or summons.

Please note that the order does not empower a provincial offences officer to require the person to produce documentation. As such, an individual may provide the required information orally.

12. Can I still enforce orders under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act?

No. Orders have been continued under the ROA and any enforcement of orders (e.g., issuance of a certificate of offence under Part I of the POA or a summons under Part III of the POA) must be done under the ROA as of July 24, 2020.

13. Is there a power to arrest under the ROA?

No. As was the case under the EMCPA, the ROA does not contain any arrest provisions. Peace officers may be able to rely on powers under the Criminal Code.

14. Are there powers of search and seizure under the ROA?

No. As was the case under the EMCPA, the ROA does not contain any search or seizure powers. Peace officers may be able to rely on powers under the common law and police officers may seek a search warrant under the POA.

15. Is there a closure authority under the ROA?

No. As was the case under the EMCPA, the ROA does not contain a closure authority.

Current as of July 24, 2020 4

16. Who will prosecute charges laid under the ROA?

The prosecution approach will be same as under the EMCPA. Prosecution responsibilities will continue be as follows:

Charges Laid under Charges Laid under Part I of the POA Part III of the POA

Type of Provincial Offences Prosecution Falls To Prosecution Falls To Officers (POOs)

On July 21, 2020, Bill 197, the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020 received Royal Assent. Schedule 18 of the Bill amends the Provincial Offences Act (POA) to remove barriers to electronic delivery of documents and remote appearances in POA proceedings.

As a result of these amendments:

• Provincial offences officers can now seek search warrants remotely in all cases, not only where it is impracticable to do so in person; and

• Any court participant, including a witness, can attend any POA proceeding by electronic method (audio or video) made available by the municipal court office, unless a judicial official orders otherwise.

These amendments are effective July 21, 2020. Further details about the POA amendments can be found here: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90p33#top.

…/2

- 2 -

In order to implement the amendments, municipal POA courts will need to temporarily supplement the information on the back of the provincial offence notice, also known as a ticket, to advise defendants of new options for responding to a ticket (e.g., by mail, email, or other electronic method established by the municipal court). This supplemental information will only be necessary until such time as appropriate amendments to the regulated offence notice can be made and new ticket books can be printed and distributed to enforcement agencies.

The Ministry of the Attorney General will be working to update regulated forms, including forms that are included in ticket books, as quickly as possible and no later than July 21, 2021.

The Ministry of the Attorney General’s website has been updated to notify members of the public of these important changes that will minimize the need to attend court in person and help keep people safe as courts gradually return to normal operations. However, we need the assistance of police services to ensure that every defendant knows they do not need to attend court in person to request a trial or early resolution meeting and are aware of any remote appearance options available to them.

Municipal POA courts have been asked to provide provincial offences officers with this supplemental information in the form of a flyer. Please ask police services for their assistance in giving these flyers to defendants when serving an offence notice.

The Ministry of the Attorney General will provide regular updates with respect to the anticipated timeframe for discontinuing this interim measure.

As Ontario charts a path to recovery, the health and well-being of everyone who enters a courtroom in this province is a top priority. Your support in implementing these amendments to the POA is an important step as we work together to transform the justice system and support a safe return to court operations.

If you have any questions, or if you would like more information about this initiative, please contact Wendy Chen, Acting Manager of the Ministry of the Attorney General’s POA Unit, by email at [email protected].

Recognizing the value of this work, the Ministry of the Solicitor General (the ministry) continues to offer various provincial tools and resources that can support local community safety and well-being planning efforts, including the Risk-driven Tracking Database (RTD).

The RTD is a Microsoft technology solution that the ministry provides to allow for improved opportunities for data collection, analysis and reporting for communities that have introduced multi-sectoral risk intervention models (e.g. Situation Tables). This data can help identify local trends regarding acute risks and vulnerable groups, which could inform future programs and strategies within a community safety and well-being plan. This work continues to support the legislative requirements that came into force on January 1, 2019, under the current Police Services Act, mandating municipalities to develop local plans, working in consultation with various sectors, including justice, health/mental health, education, community and social services, and children and youth services.

Since the RTD project began as a pilot in 2014, its use has expanded substantially. Approximately 85 per cent of all Situation Tables in Ontario currently use the RTD. The ministry has made a commitment to remain engaged in this work and since 2016 has released an RTD Annual Report. This provides a mechanism to share project highlights, our effectiveness in meeting service delivery commitments, along with reporting on provincial and regional data results. Ultimately, our team continues to strive to ensure that those most vulnerable receive quick access to appropriate services, and addresses broader issues related to community safety and well-being.

RTD Training and Survey Results

As part of the RTD project, each site that is on-boarded is provided with a one-day training session prior to using the RTD locally. When there are new RTD users for sites that are already on-boarded, the Ministry will make best efforts to extend an invitation at a forthcoming training session to ensure easy transition.

To ensure these sessions are being effectively delivered by the ministry, training surveys are provided to all RTD Users that participate in the training. A total of 23 training participants responded anonymously to the survey in 2019. Respondents were asked 12 questions in the RTD Participant Feedback Survey. Seven of the questions measured participant satisfaction using a five-point Likert scale with endpoints from one meaning “very dissatisfied” to five meaning “very satisfied." There were two “yes or no” questions. The remaining three questions were qualitative in nature. Some high-level survey results from 2019 have been outlined in the following section, with all results included in the appendix of this report.

RTD Provincial and Regional Data Results

As of December 2019, there were 59 sites on-boarded to the RTD. This includes representation from all regions across the province (14 from West Region, 17 sites from Central Region, 10 from East Region, nine from North West Region, and nine from North East Region).

The data presented in this section is derived from the 2,569 discussions opened in 2019. This is approximately a 10 per cent decrease in the number of discussions (2,855) opened in 2018 (with 47 sites included when the 2018 RTD Annual Report was released). The Glossary of Terms at the end of this report may assist in understanding some of the data results included in this section.

It is also important to note that conclusions should not be drawn from the RTD data result alone, when assessing patterns relating to community safety and well- being planning. The RTD is only one of many tools that can be used to gather data and assess trends. Communities are encouraged to leverage all available assets to assess their local priorities.

Data limitations and considerations: • Some sites have more discussions than others; therefore, the provincial-level data may vary. • The ranges for the Age Group data field are unequal due to the design of the system as a result of historical data that was imported. Therefore, some ranges contain boundaries that are five or six years wide, whereas others contain boundaries 10 or 20 years wide. • The ministry consistently conducts data audits and data-cleansing procedures to ensure accuracy and integrity of the data. However, there is an inherent possibility of data errors and gaps in the database (e.g., wrongly inputted data fields, blank data fields, technical errors, etc.). There also may have been some functional changes implemented to minimize possible data errors and gaps. • Where there is limited amount of data for a particular dataset, the data has been suppressed. In this case, it has been noted beside the data. • Percentages may not add up to 100 per cent due to rounding.

Agency Engagement

As multi-sectoral risk intervention models have expanded across Ontario, a number of agencies have commited resources to particpate in these local initiatives, with the top five agencies engaged in 2019 included below. Collection and analysis of data from agencies engaged both regularly and on an ad-hoc basis allows communities to report back to partners on the level of commitment and the shared sense of responsibility to reduce situations of elevated risk in a community, while also improving engagement when gaps or challenges may surface.

The image shows those agencies that participated in the most multi-sectoral risk intervention models across Ontario in 2019. They include Ontario Provincial Police (45 sites; 75 per cent), Canadian Mental Health Association (45 sites; 75 per cent), Probation and Parole (43 sites; 72 per cent), Youth Justice Services (41 sites; 68 percent) and Local Health Integration Networks (35 sites; 58 per cent).

14 RTD 2019 Annual Report

Sector Engagement

The RTD categorizes all agencies under one of six sectors outlined below and is most useful when conducting provincial analysis given demographic size differences. The justice and health sector consistently remain the top originating and lead sector both provincially and regionally, with variability in the top assisting sector. Often when in situations of acutely elevated risk (AER), individuals seek out the most familiar resource available to them, which often tends to be from the justice sector (57 per cent). This data confirms that once a situation of AER is discussed through a multi-agency risk-based approach, the agency identified to lead the intervention is no longer from the Justice Sector. It moves, more appropriately, to the sector that is best positioned to reduce those risks identified (for example, health; 36 per cent).

Risk Category Information – Provincial and Regional Breakdown

Risk information can be analyzed in two different way in the RTD – by occurrence and discussion. The total number of risk factors (105) roll-up into one of 27 risk categories outlined below. However, the number of risk factors in a respective category is not balanced [e.g. mental helath (seven), criminal involvement (13), drugs (five), etc.]. Representing the data by occurrence allows for a count of all risk factors (18,155) reported in 2019, regardless of how many times the risk factors of the same category appear in a single discussion. Comparatively risk factor results by discussion capture instances where risk factors included in one of 27 categories appear at least once in a given discussion. For example, provincial risk information by occurrence reveal the most predominant risk categories identified centre around mental health risks (14 per cent), followed by criminal involvement (eight per cent) and drugs (seven per cent). However, instances where a risk factor appears at least once in a given discussion from each of the 27 categories reveal a different pattern centred around mental health (71 per cent), drugs (41 per cent) and housing (39 per cent).

When analyzing risk results at the regional level, there is great variability among regions from both an occurrence and discussion perspective. Analysis of risk information by discussion also reveals that in four of the five regions, risk factors relating to the top two categories appear together in over 50 per cent of all discussions. For example, mental health (89 per cent) and drug (55 per cent) related risk factors appear in most discussions in West Region, revealing correlating issues experienced by those at AER. More detailed information about risk results both provincially and regionally for 2019 are outlined on pages 20-21.

It is important to note that priority risks may vary by discussion type, age group and/or sex. When looking at the dataset relative to individuals brought forward for discussion (n=1840), we have identified above (page 17) that, provincially, the majority of discussions specific to “person” in 2019 fell within the age group of 40-59 years (23 per cent). Similar results appear across all regions, except in the North West, where 12-17 years appears most significant (25 per cent). Risk categories (by occurrence) relative to the most vulnerable group identified provincially and regionally have also been analyzed on page 22. The results also include a breakdown specific to the male and female population in the top age group identified, allowing for more targeted risk analysis relative to those most vulnerable populations in a respective region.

Conclusion

As the RTD project continues to grow, it has become the preferred software solution to support communities that have implemented multi-sectorial risk intervention models in Ontario. It is our commitment to provide annual reports to ensure provincial and regional results are shared and hope it can help to inform broader work around community safety and well-being planning.

The ministry is optimistic that with the inclusion of additional pieces of analysis, the 2019 RTD Annual Report will allow for further understanding of priority issues experienced by those at an acute state of risk, including correlating factors. Also, by including provincial agency engagement, it demonstrates the commitment from several agencies who recognize the benefits this model has to offer and improve partnerships for future collaboration. The ministry continues to strive to deliver a product that shows the significant benefit of working together toward outcomes that improve the quality of life for those who are most vulnerable in our community.

Glossary of Terms

Acutely Elevated Risk (AER): Any situation negatively affecting the health or safety of an individual, family or specific group of people, where professionals are permitted in legislation to share personal information in order to eliminate or reduce imminent harm to an individual or others. Under the Four Filter Approach, the determination is made at Filter 2, whether or not the threshold of AER has been met.

Conclusion Reasons: A list of outcomes that results from a discussion at a multi-sectoral risk intervention initiative. The RTD includes 18 different conclusion reasons that are grouped into four categories.

Discussion Types: Determines what the focus of the multi-sectoral risk intervention will be on (i.e., person, family, neighbourhood, environmental and dwelling).

On-board: the planning and implementation process involved when sites are added to the RTD, including migrating historical data, testing functionality and training users.

Protective Factors: Positive characteristics or conditions that can moderate the negative effects of risk factors and foster healthier individuals, families and communities, thereby increasing personal and/or community safety and well-being. There are 51 protective factors in the RTD.

Risk Factors: Negative characteristics and/or conditions present in individuals, families and communities that may increase the presence of crime or fear of crime in a community. There are 105 risk factors in the RTD.

Services Mobilized: The services mobilized, as a result of the intervention, are collected in the RTD to help track which services were offered to and accepted by that individual or family at AER. There are five types of mobilization efforts (e.g., informed, engaged) that can be applied to 29 different services.

Study Flags: Allows multi-sectoral agency partners an opportunity to track and monitor specific trends in their community and collect information on certain conditions that may be studied locally that fall outside the scope of individual risk factors. There are 33 study flags in the RTD.

RE: Electronic Cab Cards

This memorandum is to advise the policing community across the province that, as of August 17, 2020, the Ontario Ministry of Transportation will issue Cab Cards in both electronic and paper formats. This is further to changes made on January 1, 2019, when Ontario amended the Highway Traffic Act to allow Ontario to accept Electronic Cab Cards in support of the changes to the International Registration Plan. There have been no changes to the layout of the Cab Card (see sample attached). The use of electronic images of International Registration Plan Cab Cards have been accepted by all jurisdictions in the United States and Canada. Documentation shown in an electronic image must be accessible by computer, tablet, smart phone or other electronic device.

We have notified International Registration Plan motor carriers and continue to strongly recommend that the motor carriers store electronic documents as a file, such as Portable Document Format (PDF), and saved to an electronic device for each vehicle. This approach ensures access to the documentation at any time, even when access to mobile and/or wireless service may be interrupted.

Regardless of the format -- either electronic or paper -- the document must be accurate, valid, legible, and be accessible on demand by request of law enforcement and/or the International Registration Plan Registrar.

To align with Ontario’s Digital Strategy and commitment to cutting red tape for business, transforming the customer experience, modernizing programs as well as alignment with other International Registration Plan member jurisdictions, the ministry is seeking support from the enforcement community to accept the issuance of electronic Cab Cards by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation.

…/2

-2-

The ministry asks for the enforcement community’s consideration and acceptance in the event an International Registration Plan carrier produces an electronic Cab Card, via smartphone or tablet, rather than paper copies. The Cab Card presented must be accurate, accessible and readable. The ministry will continue to communicate that Ontario carriers store electronic documents as a ‘Portable Document Format’ as well as original paper Cab Card credentials, to ensure they are carrying a current acceptable format and have access to this while in areas of no internet services.

If members of the law enforcement community would like to discuss this change in more detail, they may contact Elizabeth Marles, Manager, Vehicle Program Development Office, Safety Program Development Branch at 416-235-3433.

Thank you for your assistance in communicating these changes.

RE: Proclamation of Select Sections of the Security From Trespass And Protecting Food Safety Act, 2020 Relating to Obstruction of Livestock Transportation

The purpose of this memorandum is to advise the policing community about the recent proclamation of sections 6(1), 7, 14(1)[3] and 15(1) of the Security from Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act, 2020, (STPFSA), effective September 2, 2020.

The STPFSA received Royal Assent on June 18, 2020. The STPFSA, once fully in force, is intended to keep Ontario's farmers, their families, agri-food workers and farm animals safe by reducing the likelihood of trespassing on farms and processing facilities. The legislation also enhances protections from obstructions in the transportation of livestock.

The STPFSA addresses unique risks and challenges associated with trespassing onto a farm or into a food processing facility. In particular, the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (the ministry) is aware of recent and growing public safety and industry concerns regarding individuals stepping in front of moving trucks, blocking entrances, and interfering with farm animals in transport at meat processing plants.

As a result, the ministry is proclaiming the following select sections of the STPFSA effective September 2, 2020:

• Section 6(1): Prohibits a person from stopping, obstructing, hindering or otherwise interfering with a motor vehicle transporting farm animals.

• Section 7: Sets out exemptions from the application of section 6 (for example, police will be able to stop a motor vehicle transporting farm animals for offences under the Highway Traffic Act without being in contravention of section 6(1), additionally, provincial animal welfare inspectors are exempted from the

prohibitions under section 6(1) if acting in the course of exercising a power or carrying out a duty under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, 2019).

• Section 14(1)[3]: Makes it an offence to contravene section 6(1) of the STPFSA.

• Section 15(1): Sets out the penalties for contravention: a fine of up to $15,000 for a first offence and a fine up to $25,000 for subsequent offences.

An amendment to Reg. 950 under the Provincial Offences Act (POA) has been made to establish short-form wording allowing for Part I POA tickets to be issued. It is anticipated that the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice will be issuing set fines for offences under the STPFSA. Once posted, the set fines order can be found at: https://www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/how-do-i/set-fines/set-fines-i/.

Only sections 6(1), 7, 14(1)[3] and 15(1) of the STPFSA have been proclaimed as of September 2. Regulations need to be put in place to operationalize the STPFSA before it can be fully proclaimed into force. As such, the STPFSA will be proclaimed in full at a future date, still to be determined. However, section 6(1), 7, 14(1)[3] and 15(1) are operational without the need for a Regulation.

For further information on the STPFSA, we have included a set of supporting Questions and Answers for policing stakeholders. The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs website will also be updated to raise awareness of the new law, including a public-facing Questions and Answers and a link to the News Release. This material can be accessed once the proclamation is in force on September 2, 2020, by visiting: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/about/bill156-qa.htm or http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/french/about/bill156-qa.htm

I would ask that you please bring this memorandum and supporting Questions and Answers to the attention of the policing community. Thank you for your assistance in communicating this update.

Sincerely,

David Hagarty Assistant Deputy Minister Policy Division

Current as of August 31, 2020

Qs & As for Police Proclamation of Select Sections of the Security From Trespass And Protecting Food Safety Act, 2020 Relating to Obstruction of Livestock Transportation

Q. What is the purpose of the Security From Trespass and Protecting Food Safety Act, 2020 (the Act) and why is it needed? • Once fully in force, the Act will support Ontario’s agri-food sector by recognizing the unique risks of trespass on farms and agri-food processing facilities and in interfering with livestock transport. These include: o The risks trespassers pose to the safety of themselves, farmers, farm families and employees; o Exposing farm animals to stress and disease; and o Introducing contaminants into our food supply. • This is part of the government’s commitment to protecting the health and safety of our agri-food sector, farm animal welfare and food safety.

Q. What sections of the Act are coming into force and when? • The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs is bringing into force sections 6(1), 7, 14(1)[3] and 15(1) of the Act to immediately make it an offence to stop, obstruct, hinder or otherwise interfere with motor vehicles transporting farm animals. Such actions are inherently dangerous. • These sections will come into force on September 2, 2020. • Public safety is a top priority for the Ontario government. Bringing these provisions into force at this time is critical to protect public safety.

Q. Why are these sections of the Act coming into force now? • We have seen individuals stepping in front of moving trucks, blocking entrances, and interfering with farm animals in transport at meat processing plants, which are inherently dangerous activities. • While we recognize the right for people to protest, that right does not include dangerously obstructing vehicles at food processing facilities. • Proclamation of sections 6(1), 7, 14(1)[3] and 15(1) of the Act will make it an offence to stop, obstruct, hinder or otherwise interfere with a motor vehicle transporting farm animals. Related amendments to Regulation 950 under the Provincial Offences Act (POA) will also allow for tickets to be issued under the POA to support enforcement.

Q. Who is empowered to enforce the Act? What are the penalties for committing an offence under the Act? • Only police officers are empowered to enforce the Act.

Page 1 of 2 Current as of August 31, 2020

Qs & As for Police Proclamation of Select Sections of the Security From Trespass And Protecting Food Safety Act, 2020 Relating to Obstruction of Livestock Transportation

• Offences will be prosecuted by Crown Attorneys and Provincial Prosecutors • Fines of up to $15,000 for a first offence and up to $25,000 for subsequent offences can be levied under the Act, compared to a maximum of $10,000 under the Trespass to Property Act. These penalties are initiated under Part III of the POA. • At this time, arrest powers provided by section 13 of the Act are not being proclaimed. However, amendments to Regulation 950 under the Provincial Offences Act will provide law enforcement with the option of issuing tickets under Part I of that statute with a set fine to be established by the Chief Justice of the Ontario Court of Justice. This will help facilitate a graduated enforcement approach. • It is anticipated that section 13 will be proclaimed when the Act is proclaimed in full at a future date, still to be determined.

Q. What is the short-form wording to be used on offence notices? • The short-form wording can be found in Schedule 82 of R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 950: Proceedings Commenced by Certificate of Offence under the POA.

Q. How is the Act different from the Trespass to Property Act? • The provisions coming into force under the Act differs from the Trespass to Property Act, as follows: o Considers farmers, employees and animal welfare and safety as a key component; o Includes vehicles in operation, with offences specific to interfering with the transportation of farm animals; and o Enforcement is not confined to private property in dealing with vehicles in operation.

Q. What is the effect of the proclamation on Indigenous communities, hunters, anglers and trappers? • There is a specific exception in the Act to the prohibition in section 6(1) for a person lawfully exercising existing Aboriginal or treaty rights.

SUBJECT: Expanding the Types of Off-Road Vehicles permitted On-Road, Three- Wheeled Motorcycle Licensing Changes ______

This memorandum is to advise the policing community across the province of some specific regulatory changes to Ontario Regulation 316/03, and Ontario Regulation 340/94.

1. Ontario Regulation 316/03 - Amendments related to Expanding the Types of Off-Road Vehicles permitted On-Road – Effective July 1, 2020

• The Ministry is expanding the types of off-road vehicles permitted on-road access to include two additional types: off-road motorcycles commonly known as dirt bikes; and, extreme terrain vehicles, which are semi-amphibious vehicles with six or more wheels (images in appendix).

Topic Requirement Section number General Provincial highways Specifies the provincial highways that off-road vehicles, O. Reg including off-road motorcycles and extreme terrain vehicles are 316/03 s. permitted to operate. 4

Municipal authority Allows municipalities to create by-laws after July 1, 2020 O. Reg permitting off-road motorcycles and extreme terrain vehicles to 316/03 s. operate on roads under municipal jurisdiction. Existing by-laws 4.1 (2) that permit off-road vehicles on-road will need to be updated by the municipality in order to permit these new vehicles on their roads. No tracked vehicles Requires extreme-terrain vehicles to have wheels in contact with O. Reg permitted the ground (tracked versions are not permitted on-road) and 316/03 s. sets out the maximum size for this vehicle. 1

Equipment Requires extreme-terrain vehicles to be equipped with a rear- O.

Most driver, passenger and vehicle requirements remain the same, however, there are some notable differences:

No passengers on off- Passengers are not permitted on off-road motorcycles (continue O. Reg road motorcycles. to be permitted on off-road vehicles - if they are above the age 316/03 of 8 and can reach the footrests) s.19.2

No sidecars on off- Side cars are not permitted. O. Reg road motorcycles 316/03 s. 1 Exemptions to existing Off-road motorcycles and extreme-terrain vehicles will be O.

Extreme- s.10 compliance labels terrain vehicles will be required to meet alternative Society of Automotive Engineers standards. Lighting at night or Off-road motorcycles are required to have front and rear lamps O. Reg when the weather is lit between sunset and sunrise or when the weather is poor. 316/03 unfavourable s.13 Extreme-terrain vehicles are required to have front and rear lamps lit between sunset and sunrise or when the weather is poor. Front lamps must be lit at all times.

Other off-road vehicles continue to be required to have lights on at all times.

• The Ministry is currently in the process of developing short form wording to lay Part I tickets for these new offences. New short form wording will be provided shortly when approved. Police officers may still lay charges for new offences through a Part III summons. It is important to note that municipalities will still need to pass by-laws after July 1, 2020 to allow for these new additional types of vehicles on their roads. • Existing rules for all-terrain vehicles continue to apply to these new vehicle types. These include minimum operating age (16), licensing requirements (G2 or M2 minimum), registration, plating, insurance, rules regarding speeding (Max 50km/h on roads with posted speed limit of 50km/h or more, 20km/h on roads with posted speed limit of 50km/h or less), careless operation, requirements to operate on the shoulder of the road in the same direction as traffic, or when unavailable, right most portion of the roadway.

2. Ontario Regulation 340/94 - Amendments related to Three Wheeled Motorcycle Licensing – Effective July 1, 2020

• MTO has amended regulations to permit an additional licensing option for Full Class G licence holders or higher wishing to operate a three-wheeled motorcycle. This option allows full Class G licence holders or higher to attend an approved one-day, three-wheeled motorcycle safety course.

• Safety course guidelines are based on the current requirements within Quebec’s three-wheeled motorcycle safety course and Ontario’s current M1 and M2 courses. The course is intended to be seven hours long and would require drivers to complete evaluations including an on-road test.

• Upon successful completion of a course, the driver will receive a Class M(M) restricted licence which only permits the operation of a three-wheeled motorcycle.

• Amendments also permit the on-road use of a three-wheeled motorcycle by a full Class G or higher licence while enrolled within the approved three-wheeled motorcycle safety course, under the evaluation of an approved course provider.

These changes will have new short form wording that will be communicated in the future once changes are made to the Provincial Offences Act.

I would ask that you please bring this memorandum to the attention of your policing stakeholders. If there are any questions regarding these amendments, please do not hesitate to contact Angela Litrenta at 416-471-3437 or [email protected].

Thank you for your assistance in communicating this change.

Dear Chair Dilkens,

We are writing on behalf of Aboriginal Legal Services, the Black Legal Action Centre, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and the HIV & AIDS Legal Clinic Ontario regarding the Windsor Police Service’s access to and use of COVID-19 personal health data. In early April the province passed an emergency order authorizing the release of individuals’ names, dates of birth, and addresses if they had tested positive for COVID-19. In mid-July we launched a legal challenge to the province’s decision to share this personal health information with police. It is our view that the regulation that purported to allow for the sharing of this information was not authorized by the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act and violated individuals’ statutory privacy and constitutional Charter rights. Shortly after we filed our judicial review the province informed us that the emergency regulation authorizing the data-sharing would not be renewed. The regulation was revoked on July 22, 2020, ending police access to the COVID database. While we welcome the province’s decision to stop sharing this information with police services, we remain deeply concerned about the continued local storage and use of personal health information that has already been accessed by police services across the province. Records we have received from the province indicate that the Windsor Police Service accessed the provincial COVID database 1,841 times while it was active. We are calling on all police services to immediately delete the personal health information that was collected through this database. Can you please confirm:

• Where individuals’ COVID-19 status is being locally stored; • Who currently has access to the locally-stored data, and for what purposes; • Whether individuals’ data has been accessed locally since the revocation of the provincial regulation; and • The process by which the information downloaded from the provincial COVID-19 database will be deleted. Thank you for your attention this matter, we look forward to your prompt reply. Sincerely,

Ruth Goba Christa Big Canoe Executive Director Legal Advocacy Director Black Legal Action Centre Aboriginal Legal Services

Mr. Chris Anzenberger, Analyst Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario 2 Bloor Street East, Suite 1400 Toronto, ON M4W 1A8 Dear Mr. Anzenberger, Please find below the responses to the 18 questions contained in your letter dated August 21st, 2020. I believe that the use of the COVID-19 Risk Look-Up Web Portal (the portal) by the Windsor Police Service (the WPS) was consistent with the requirements of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act Order (the EMCPA order) and the related directions from the Ministry of the Solicitor General (the ministry). The WPS enacted formalized policies and procedures to govern and restrict the use of the portal to ensure access was for a lawful purpose and that privacy of individuals was respected and protected to the greatest extent possible. Within the 1,841 portal queries reported by the ministry as being made by the WPS, the WPS did become aware of a single instance where possible inappropriate access to the portal was made by a WPS member; the Service investigated the matter, addressed the conduct immediately and determined there was no privacy breach.

1. How many individuals in your organization had access to the information in the portal? WPS Response: Forty-seven (47) WPS personnel were provided with login credentials to access the portal; all were assigned to the WPS 9-1-1 Communications Centre.

2. More specifically, who in your organization had access to the portal and what were their job duties? WPS Response: The 47 WPS personnel who were granted portal login credentials were all members assigned to the WPS 9-1-1 Communications Centre. Their job duties consisted primarily of answering all incoming 9-1-1 and non-emergency calls for service, dispatching police response units, and generally supporting frontline first- responders. Support would include screening callers, querying police and other databases to ensure frontline personnel make informed operational decisions, including the necessity of taking additional precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

1 3. In what circumstances did these individuals access information in the portal? WPS Response: From the outset of portal usage, WPS policies and procedures regarding use of the portal reflect the requirements of the EMPCA Order, O. Reg. 120/20 and the related instructions from the ministry. Specifically, WPS policies and procedures mandate that information in the portal may only be accessed by authorized users in the Services’ 9-1-1 Communication and Dispatch Center who perform such functions and would be directly involved in communicating COVID-19 status information to first responders strictly for the purpose of supporting WPS personnel in making informed decisions about whether to take additional precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These circumstances would typically be in relation to calls for service or other public contacts involving frontline members of the WPS while the emergency order is in effect. Procedurally, the WPS 9-1-1 Communications Centre personnel initially utilized the portal to query any persons involved in a call for service, and additionally utilized voluntary verbal screening questions provided (and used) by the Ministry of Health for dispatch screening of contacts with Paramedic services. However, effective April 28th, 2020 an amended procedure was put in place and distributed to all authorized users. This amended procedure stated that In light of issues identified by the ministry surrounding the timeliness, accuracy and quality of portal data, the practice of querying all persons identified in a call for service was to be discontinued effective immediately. From April 28th onward, authorized communicators were not only bound by the original policy restrictions regarding access to portal data to inform and support frontline responders, but were now additionally restricted to only query the portal in instances where there were grounds to believe a COVID contamination or exposure incident involving a member of the WPS has occurred. Contamination and/or Exposure incidents were defined within the “WPS Decontamination Process for COVID-19” Protocol. These queries were further restricted by limiting them to only be made using a specific named individual, or a specific municipal address involved in the contamination or exposure incident. Please see the response to Question #8 for the circumstances regarding a single incident of inappropriate portal access by a WPS member.

4. Was training provided to these individuals regarding appropriate use of the portal? When was it provided? WPS Response: All authorized users were provided with formal documentation that included a User Guide authored by the ministry (April 14th, 2020), as well as the WPS Policy regarding use of the portal (April 14th, 2020). Authorized users were required to sign copies of the policy documentation provided to formally acknowledge they had reviewed the requirements. Additionally, all authorized users were provided a detailed WPS procedural guide (April 24, 2020, with amendments provided on April 26 and April 28, 2020). Clarifying email communications were also sent out on April 21st and July 20th, 2020.

5. Did Windsor Police Service conduct audits of the individuals who accessed the portal, the number of times and circumstances for accessing the portal to ensure it was being used appropriately? WPS Response: The WPS did not have direct access to any known audit or logging functionality within the portal; accordingly, the WPS was unable to conduct any direct audits of usage of the ministry portal.

6. Was the Windsor Police Service aware that its staff accessed the portal 1,841 times, per the Ministry of the Attorney General's response to the CCLA? WPS Response: The WPS did not have direct access to any known audit, logging or statistical reporting functionality within the portal; accordingly, the WPS was unaware of the total number of queries conducted.

7. Please provide an explanation for the number of times the portal was accessed. WPS Response: From the outset of portal usage, WPS policies and procedures regarding use of the portal reflected the requirements of the EMPCA Order, O. Reg. 120/20 and the related instructions from the ministry. Specifically, WPS policies and procedures mandated that information in the portal may only be accessed by authorized users in the Services’ 9-1-1 Communication and Dispatch Center who perform such functions and would be directly involved in communicating COVID-19 status information to first responders strictly for the purpose of supporting WPS personnel in making informed decisions about whether to take additional precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19. These circumstances would typically be in relation to calls for service or other public contacts involving frontline members of the WPS while the emergency order is in effect. Procedurally, the WPS 9-1-1 Communications Centre personnel initially utilized the portal to query any persons involved in a call for service, and additionally utilized voluntary verbal screening questions provided (and used) by the Ministry of Health for dispatch screening of contacts with Paramedic services. However, effective April 28th, 2020 an amended procedure was put in place and distributed to all authorized users. This amended procedure stated that In light of issues identified by the ministry surrounding the timeliness, accuracy and quality of portal data, the practice of querying all persons identified in a call for service was to be discontinued effective immediately. From April 28th onward, authorized communicators were not only bound by the original policy restrictions regarding access to portal data to inform and support frontline responders, but were now additionally restricted to only query the portal in instances where there were grounds to believe a COVID contamination or exposure incident involving a member of the WPS has occurred. Contamination and/or Exposure incidents were defined within the “WPS Decontamination Process for COVID-19” Protocol. These queries were further restricted by limiting them to only be made using a specific named individual, or a specific municipal address involved in the contamination or exposure incident. To provide statistical context for the 1,841 portal queries that were conducted by the WPS between April 17th and July 20, 2020, the WPS responded to a total of 30,816 calls for service during the same time period. It should be noted that generally each call for service will typically have at least one identifiable person associated with it (eg. complainant/person reporting).

8. Does the Windsor Police Service believe that there was inappropriate or unauthorized access to the portal? If so, please explain when it became aware of the privacy breaches, and what has been, or will be done to address the situation. WPS Response: The Windsor Police Service is only aware of one known instance of inappropriate access to the portal. On July 3rd, 2020, the WPS was notified by the ministry that on June 22nd, 2020 an authorized user (a communicator of the 9-1-1 Communications Centre) had queried the portal for her own name. An investigation was commenced, and the Director of the WPS 9-1-1 Communications Centre and the WPS Director of Human Resources and Legal Counsel met with the communicator in question. On August 12, 2020 the communicator was given a written warning for her actions which were contrary to policy and procedural requirements for appropriate portal usage.

9. If the police service determined that there were unauthorized accesses, was/were they reported to the ministry or the IPC? WPS Response: The single incident outlined above (in WPS Response #8) did not constitute unauthorized access but rather constituted inappropriate use by an authorized user who queried her own name. The WPS was notified by the ministry of this occurrence, and because it involved a user querying her own name, the WPS did not notify the IPC.

10. Did the police service provide notice of the privacy breaches to any affected individuals? WPS Response: Because the he single incident outlined above (in WPS Response #8) involved an authorized user querying her own name, it is the position of the WPS that no privacy breach occurred therefore there were no affected individuals thus requiring no notifications to any person nor the IPC.

With regard to the possible retention of information from the portal, please answer the following questions:

1. Did Windsor Police Service ever extract, copy or store information from the portal? WPS Response: As outlined in WPS policy and procedural documents, all members of the WPS were prohibited from extracting, copying or storing information from the portal; the single exception to this was for authorized users from within the WPS Communications Centre who were permitted to make digital “remarks” in a structured format within a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) record of a call for service to which the query was related. For example, communicators/dispatchers who became aware of a positive portal “hit” for a given person were authorized to make the notation “MINISTRY PORTAL CHECKED – POSITIVE” within the WPS CAD record for that call for service (Note: This is not a “person” record). Upon being notified of the expiry of the EMCPA order on July 22nd, 2020, the WPS began work to remove all references to the portal data from the WPS CAD system. On August 17th, 2020 the WPS received confirmation from our CAD and Records Management System (RMS) software provider that all the above-described remarks/references to portal data were purged from both the CAD and RMS databases. To further ensure greater certainty that all related portal data was deleted, a series of manual electronic searches were also conducted of the WPS RMS. As a result of these searches, a single instance was found wherein a positive portal result was referenced within an electronic text page report authored by a responding officer. This reference was also successfully redacted and the portal information was not publicly disclosed.

2. Is Windsor Police Service continuing to collect, use or disclose this information, and if so, what legal authority does Windsor Police Service rely on to do so? WPS Response: The WPS is not continuing to collect, use or disclose this information.

3. What is the purpose of the collection, use and/or disclosure of the information from the portal since the portal was decommissioned? WPS Response: The WPS is not continuing to collect use or disclose this information.

4. Where and in what format is this information being stored? WPS Response: Question is not applicable, see question #1 above.

5. How is the information being safeguarded? WPS Response: Question is not applicable, see question #1 above.

6. Who currently has access to the information, and for what purpose? WPS Response: Question is not applicable, see question #1 above.

7. Has the information been accessed since the portal was decommissioned? WPS Response: Question is not applicable, see question #1 above.

8. How long will the information be retained, and when and how will it be destroyed? WPS Response: Question is not applicable, see question #1 above.

I trust these responses have addressed the questions the IPC has with regard to the use of the portal by the WPS, but please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Kind regards,

Pamela Mizuno Chief of Police
