  • Policy Guidance on Support to Policing in Developing Countries
    POLICY GUIDANCE ON SUPPORT TO POLICING IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES Ian Clegg, Robert Hunt and Jim Whetton November 2000 Centre for Development Studies University of Wales, Swansea Swansea SA2 8PP [email protected] http://www.swansea.ac.uk/cds ISBN 0 906250 617 Policy Guidance on Support to Policing in Developing Countries ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are grateful for the support of the Department for International Development, (DFID), London, who funded this work for the benefit of developing/ transitional countries. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily of DFID. It was initially submitted to DFID in November 1999 as a contribution to their policy deliberations on Safety, Security and Accessible Justice. It is now being published more widely in order to make it available to countries and agencies wishing to strengthen programmes in this field. At the same time, DFID are publishing their general policy statement on SSAJ, (DFID, 2000). Our work contributes to the background material for that statement. We are also most grateful to the authors of the specially commissioned papers included as Annexes to this report, and to the police advisers and technical cooperation officers who contributed to the survey reported in Annex B. It will be obvious in the text how much we are indebted to them all. This report is the joint responsibility of the three authors. However, Ian Clegg and Jim Whetton of CDS, University of Wales, Swansea, would like to express personal thanks to co-author Robert Hunt, OBE, QPM, former Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, London, for contributing his immense practical experience of policing and for analysing the survey reported in Annex B.

  • Selected Police-Reported Crime and Calls for Service During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March 2020 to March 2021 Released at 8:30 A.M
    Selected police-reported crime and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 2020 to March 2021 Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Tuesday, May 18, 2021 Police-reported data on selected types of crimes and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to March 2021 are now available. Note to readers The Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety Statistics is conducting a special survey collection from a sample of police services across Canada to measure the impact of COVID-19 on selected types of crimes and on calls for service. Data will continue to be collected monthly until December 2021 and to be reported regularly. This is the fifth release of this special data collection by Statistics Canada. Previously published data may have been revised. For this reference period, 19 police services provided data on a voluntary basis. These police services are the Calgary Police Service, Edmonton Police Service, Halton Regional Police Service, Kennebecasis Regional Police Force, London Police Service, Montréal Police Service, Ontario Provincial Police, Ottawa Police Service, Regina Police Service, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, Saskatoon Police Service, Sûreté du Québec, Toronto Police Service, Vancouver Police Department, Victoria Police Department, Waterloo Regional Police Service, Winnipeg Police Service, and York Regional Police. Police services that responded to this survey serve more than two-thirds (71%) of the Canadian population. Although the Edmonton Police Service, Montréal Police Service, RCMP, Sûreté du Québec and Winnipeg Police Service were unable to provide data on calls for service, the police services that did provide these data serve one-third (32%) of the Canadian population.

  • POLICE AUTHORITY District
    Wayne County Community College POLICE AUTHORITY District The safety and security of all students, faculty, staff, and visitors are of great concern to the Wayne County Community College District (WCCCD). In an effort to enhance the District’s campus safety services WCCCD’s three Detroit campuses are gaining a higher level of security staff. WCCCD Security Police Authority, a un-armed law enforcement agency now has complete police authority to apprehend and arrest anyone involved in illegal acts on the campus. In the event of a major offense (i.e., aggravated assault, robbery, and auto theft) the WCCCD Security Police Authority would report the offense to the local police and pursue joint investigative efforts. If minor offenses involving college rules and regulations are committed by a student, the campus Security Police Authority may also refer the individual to the disciplinary division of Student Affairs. With oversight from the Michigan Commission of Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES), a division of the Michigan State Police, the Police Authority was also approved by the Wayne County Prosecutor and the Detroit Police Chief. WCCCD has officers sworn in as Security Police Officers, also referred to as "Arrest Authority" Security, and have misdemeanor arrest authority while on active duty, on the District’s premises and in full uniform. The Director of Campus Safety is responsible for licensure and all of the officers that have the arrest authority must meet minimum requirements related to age, security or law enforcement experience and suitable background including absence of any felony conviction and specific misdemeanor convictions. The law requires these employees to be trained as required by the Michigan State Police.

  • Amalgamation of Police Services
    Amalgamation of Police Services by John Kiedrowski, Ronald-Frans Melchers, Michael Petrunik, Rick Ruddell RESEARCH REPORT: 2015–R027 RESEARCH DIVISION www.publicsafety.gc.ca Abstract Police amalgamation (also referred to as regionalization, consolidation, or merger) has been a focus for administrators of police service delivery since the early 1950s when various provincial governments began to promote the amalgamation of services in adjacent municipal governments in the interests of cost-effectiveness and efficiency. The major justification for police amalgamation has been that significant cost savings would result through achieving economies of scale. While several studies show that economies of scale can be achieved in some contexts, other research suggests diseconomies of scale may also occur depending on the context and the size of police services being amalgamated. Police expenditure and crime rate data were collected for nine police services across Canada to help understand the impact of police amalgamation on the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery. Our review found no significant differences in cost-effectiveness and efficiency of service delivery among those police services that had undergone amalgamation and those continuing to operate independently. Several potential implications of police amalgamation for the FNPP are identified and discussed in the context of the legal framework for First Nations policing, Aboriginal governance and funding issues, and the rural and remote locations of many Aboriginal communities. Author’s Note The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of Public Safety Canada. Correspondence concerning this report should be addressed to: Research Division, Public Safety Canada, 340 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0P8; email: PS.CSCCBResearch- [email protected].

  • Police Reform Initiatives in India
    Police Reform Initiatives in India Dr. Doel Mukerjee Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative Police, Prison and Human Rights (PPHR) Wednesday July 2, 2003 Background Dr. Doel Mukerjee works in the Police, Prisons and Human Rights Programme at the CHRI. The program is presently in India and East Africa. In 2005 CHRI will publish a report on “Police Accountability in the Commonwealth Countries” and present it to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, composed of 54 national leaders. The program aims to bring about reforms by exposing police abuse, pointing out the difficulties and challenges that law enforcement agencies confront and enlisting public support for the same. Dr. Mukerjee's expertise in creating a culture of human rights within the criminal justice system comes from her wide academic and activist background fighting for violence against women issues and for police reforms. The Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) is an independent, non-partisan, international non-governmental organization, mandated to ensure the practical realization of human rights in the countries of the Commonwealth. The Initiative was created as a result of a realization that while the member countries shared a common set of values and legal principles, there was relatively little focus within the body on human rights standards and issues. Its activities seek to promote awareness of and adherence to international and domestic human rights instruments, as well as draw attention to progress and setbacks in human rights in Commonwealth countries. It does so by targeting policy makers, the general public and strategic constituencies such as grassroots activists and the media to further its aims through a combination of advocacy, education, research and networking.
