In addition, the report contains statistics regarding the make-up of activity in the City of Camrose in which the Police Service responds to. The Police Commission is responsible for oversight of the Camrose Police Service. The beginning of every year, the Commission elects the Chair/Vice-Chair and sets goals for the upcoming year. This includes continuing education through opportunities provided by the Solicitor General, conferences and webinars, which are meant to assist the commission with understanding the role of the police and governance. The Commission also works with the Camrose Police Leadership team to prepare budgets that support the work of the Camrose Police Service and the City of Camrose to ensure the Camrose Police Service has what they need to efficiently and effectively protect the citizens of Camrose. The Commission maintains membership in the CAPG (Canadian Association of Police Governance) and the AAPG (Alberta Association of Police Governance). In 2020, a member of the Commission served on the Board of Directors for the AAPG and the AAPG continues to provide support and education for members of all Police governance oversight in the Province. We are grateful and proud of the Camrose Police Service, their dedication to serving Camrose and the broader community. We invite you to review this annual report and should you have questions or comments, please forward those to the Police Service or the Police Commission. Mark Schneider, Chair MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE Welcome to the 2020 Annual Report for the Camrose Police Service. The past year as you know, has been challenging in many ways with the COVID pandemic that impacted the entire world. The City of Camrose was not immune to that impact, and saw people losing their jobs, entrepreneurs closing businesses and many individuals struggling to cope financially, emotionally and mentally. The Camrose Police Service adjusted our regular operations, to mitigate the risk to our officers as well as the public we serve. Our front reception was closed, traffic stops were reduced to only address significant public safety issues, check-stops were suspended and officers were required to wear PPE at all times when dealing with the public. Training was cancelled, courtrooms were temporarily closed, and at times our minimum strength was affected, as officers became ill or had to quarantine due to close contacts with family members. With challenges, come opportunities. In 2020, we welcomed two new recruits to bring us up to full strength. This allowed us to fulfil a Provincial request to assign an officer to the ALERT program, further cementing our reputation within the Province. Looking ahead into 2021, we are ready to begin implementation of the Next Generation 911 upgrades that are required of us. We will proudly continue to serve our community, 24 hours/day, 365 days/year. Dean LaGrange, Chief of Police POLICE COMMSSION POLICING STANDARDS The Camrose Police Service is one of only 4 Canadian Police Agencies that adhere to the Gold Standard of law enforcement, “The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). This accreditation goes above and beyond Provincial Standards required of every police agency. It provides assurances to our community that the Camrose Police Service operates at the highest levels of professionalism and accountability. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT • Battle of Badges (Special Olympics) Over • Canada Day $30,000 • Charity Check-stop raised for • Rotary Club charities! • Baseball Coaches • Hockey Coaches • Soccer Coaches • Football Coaches • STARS • St.Mary’s Foundation • Camrose Ski Club • Various Churches • Track Club Volunteers • Academy of dance These are just a few of the areas our members volunteer with to give back to the Community! SERVICE RECOGNITION/AWARDS • Thomas Feser………………………………………………… 5 years • Cst. Danton Bennefield……….…………………………… 5 years • Cst. Tyler Bellamy…………………………………………… 10 years • Cst. Trevor Cleveland……………………………………… 10 years • Janice Mandrusiak…………………………………………. 10 years • Cst. John Tomaszewski ………………………………….. 10 years • Cst. Kelly Bauer……………………………………………… 15 years • Bob Grant……………………………………………............ 40 years • Cst. Jason Schiebelbein was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. OPERATIONS SUPPORT Inspector Corbett is a 19 year veteran and looks after the Operations Support section of the Service. This includes the School Resource officer, Crime Prevention/PACT officer, Bylaw, IT Services, Property & Exhibits, as well as our 911 Communications Centre & Front Counter area. Insp. Corbett also manages our Professional Standards and Recruiting portfolios. Operations Support as described by the name, supports front line Operations. This often goes un- noticed, but is critical to the success of the Police Service. The service provided at our front counter takes pressure off from our front line patrol officers. Bylaw officers respond to less serious calls for service, when otherwise it would have been patrol officers. Our 911 dispatchers are the first point of contact for someone in distress. School Resource deals with many issues that would normally go to patrol to deal with, and the influence an officer has on a troubled youth is often unknown. Crime Prevention/PACT also provides invaluable aide to situations that again, free up patrol to be proactive and visible in the community. 911 - COMMUNICATIONS 5,299 Front Counter Customers 7,899 911 Calls 55,120 Calls to Commmunications BYLAW SERVICES Our Bylaw officer completed a 6 week Provincial course to move from a Level 2 CPO, to a Level 1 CPO. This increases their enforcement powers to include Provincial offences instead of only Municipal Bylaw offences. With over 1100 bylaw complaints each year, Bylaw services responded to over 600 complaints. This frees up police officers to focus on, and investigate criminal complaints. The chart below demonstrates some of the more common types of Bylaw calls. 140 120 116 100 75 80 73 69 60 52 48 44 43 2020 38 40 24 26 20 12 12 2 5 1 3 0 SCHOOL RESOURCE (SRO) Cst. Fernhout provides a uniformed presence in all 10 schools within Camrose. This supports school administration and helps build positive relationships between youth and law enforcement. Cst. Fernhout coordinates lock down drills and liaises with families, providing de-escalation for situations involving troubled youth within the school environment (ie. bullying, fights, vandalism, drugs and even sexual misconduct). The SRO position has helped create an atmosphere where students feel comfortable approaching police for advice/guidance. SCHOOL RESOURCE (SRO) As the D.A.R.E. initiative has aged, Cst. Fernhout took it upon himself to create a new program, aimed at kids in Grades 3, 6 and 9. This program focuses on modern day issues that challenge kids such as cyber- bullying, sexting, self-respect and social media awareness. This program is called C.O.R.E. and was embraced by Battle River and Elk Island school districts. C – Caring for their body, mind, and spirit to better serve others O – Online safety, integrity and responsibility R – Relationship with self and others based on respect and trust E – Establishing healthy boundaries or healthy decision making CRIME PREVENTION/PACT Our Crime Prevention Officer wears many hats, including the following: • Social Media (Facebook , Twitter) Posts can be viewed by up to 20,000 people. • “Curb the Danger” impaired driving program • “Lock it or Lose it” campaign • “Business Watch” program • Security Camera Registry • “Nightly at Nine” program Some of our community partners CRIME PREVENTION/PACT • In 2021, our Crime Prevention Officer will be “morphing” into a dual role called “PACT”. This stands for “Police and Crisis Team” where a police officer and mental health nurse will respond to mental health complaints, reducing the involvement of the criminal justice system, providing assistance or options with our external partners to those in need. • This will help address the root causes, provide the right help and lessen the need for law enforcement to intervene. This is the most efficient use of our resources and also responds to a growing need in our community. Our “2020 Mental Health Report” is available to view on our website, which provides context to this rising demand. • The creation of a “HUB”, places stakeholders such as the Police, AHS, Mental Health, Child & Family Services etc, at the same table to share resources and expertise on cases within the community, that are identified and triaged on a priority

  • Body-Worn Video Technology at Halifax Regional Police
    Item 10.1.2 Body-Worn Video technology at Halifax Regional Police SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT SUBMITTED BY: Halifax Regional Police DATE: January 18, 2021 2 Introduction This document is being submitted in response to a request from the Board of Police Commissioners (BoPC), at its December 2020 meeting, for additional information related to the potential Body-Worn Video (BWV) deployment at Halifax Regional Police (HRP). The document includes: 1. a draft policy framework 2. a brief summary of research on community impact 3. a brief overall summary of research on BWV in Canada and elsewhere In addition, it provides several appendix documents that offer further information on BWV policy frameworks in Canada. 3 1. Draft policy framework Several details of the final policy framework may change through the implementation period and ongoing evaluation, so any HRP-specific policy developed at this stage should be treated as provisional. Nonetheless, as a starting point, several principles will guide policy development during the implementation period, based on existing documents and standards1: - Recording on BWV o Continuous, covert, or indiscriminate recording using BWV will not be permitted. Rather, HRP will specify the situations in which BWV will be deployed. o BWV videos will be recorded for all calls for service, and any other interactions with the public where officers may ask for personal information (such as traffic stops) . Officers will be required to notify people that BWV recording is taking place, with exceptions for safety or operational
