AUDIT SERVICES
Police agencies continue to transition from vintage to new outputs in version 3.0 of the CPIC system. Audit Services is assisting the transition by acting as a resource to RCMP.
Enforcement by the CPI Centre of existing rules around the release of criminal record information has greatly impacted how police services are doing business. Police may only conduct queries on behalf of third party agencies with an MOU approved by the CPI Centre. These queries are limited in scope. In addition, police will not longer release criminal record information without confirming the identity of the applicant through the submission of fingerprints.
Audits conducted this past quarter were: Rama – QCA; Six Nations – QCA; Anishinabek – QCA; Saugeen Shores – QCA; Windsor Police – Comprehensive and ViCLAS; Smiths Falls – Comprehensive; and Ontario Corrections – Category II
The Unit is preparing for the annual Ontario Advisory Committee on Information Systems (OACIS) meeting scheduled for June 1st in Toronto. This is the forum for applications for CPIC access and recommended changes to the system. The OACIS meeting is held in advance of the CPIC Advisory Committee meeting.
Ontario has five seats on the CPIC Advisory Committee; two rotating and three permanent members (Ontario Provincial Police, Public Safety Division and Toronto Police Service).
Niagara and Halton Police Services have sitting members for the 2010 Advisory Committee. A member of the Durham Regional Police Service is attending as an observer.
The last CPIC Advisory meeting was held November 25-26, 2009 in Ottawa. One application for access to the CPIC system was presented from Ontario. This request, from the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD), was not approved. The time period before another application will be accepted is three years, unless there is a substantial change to the mandate.
Comprehensive and Quality Control Audits of all municipal and First Nations police services are ongoing.
ViCLAS Audits are also being conducted and separate reports are provided to the Chief of Police.
Members of the Audit Unit are assisting police agencies and Category II/III agencies to transition to strong I.&.A (Identification and Authentication). As of April 1, 2009 anyone accessing the CPIC system for query or maintenance purposes must use a smart card or token. Each agency should have a local registration authority (LRA). Applicants are awaiting clearance through OPP PKI Unit.

MAJOR CASE MANAGEMENT
The Major Case Management Regulation (354/04) governs the use of the Major Case Management (MCM) system, including the use of the PowerCase software application for undertaking and managing major case investigations.
The Major Case Management application, PowerCase, supports a standardized case management methodology for the police services of Ontario. PowerCase is a standardized case management methodology that facilitates a shared governance model to ensure the coordination and collaboration between law enforcement agencies for the investigation of major cases.
In January 2010, the ministry implemented the most recent release of PowerCase, version 4.4. This new release provides enhancements that enable major case investigators to: . perform broader range of ad-hoc data searches with multiple objects; . quickly and efficiently search incidents in the database and ability to mass update multiple incidents via new incident search interface; . better organize documents and data within the incident through improved sorting and selection tools; . capture new types of investigative data and create linkages with existing data in the MCM database.

POLICING STANDARDS SECTION
POLICING STANDARDS ADVISORY COMMITTEE (PSAC)
The most recent PSAC meeting was held March 3, 2010.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
A working group on the Domestic Violence Supplementary Report Form (DVSRF), established in September 2009, is revising the DVSRF. The most recent meeting was held March 23, 2010.
The follow-up review of the Model Police Response to Domestic Violence (MPRDV) commenced July 2008 and was completed December 2009. Fifty-six municipal police services participated in the follow- up review. The final report of the review was distributed to police services across Ontario via All Chiefs Memorandum 10-0025 on March 10, 2010.
The next Domestic Violence Coordinators’ Advisory Committee (DVCAC) meeting is scheduled for June 3, 2010.
MINISTRY RESPONSE TO THE REPORT OF THE IPPERWASH INQUIRY
MCSCS has convened a PSAC working group to review police-related recommendations of the Report of the Ipperwash Inquiry.
COURT SECURITY
On October 31, 2008, the Ontario government, in partnership with the municipalities, as represented by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and the City of Toronto, announced that it will upload court security and prisoner transportation costs from municipalities by 2018. The upload will begin in 2012 and be phased in by an equal amount over seven years. When fully implemented in 2018, the upload will save municipalities as much as $125 million a year, at maturity.
This announcement was an outcome of the Provincial-Municipal Fiscal and Service Delivery Review which is now complete.
As part of the implementation for the court security upload, the province will work collaboratively with municipalities, and a wide range of justice sector participants, including its policing partners, to identify the current municipal costs for court security and prisoner transportation and to develop province-wide court security standards.
PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISION ZONE REPORT September 14, 2009 PAGE 6 OF 12
PSSB Zone Report Page 32 of 54 A court security and prisoner transportation costing survey has been developed by the project partners and will be distributed to municipal police services shortly for completion. Project planning is underway with respect to stakeholder consultation for court security standards.
CONDUCTED ENERGY WEAPONS (CEWS)
MCSCS recently reviewed CEW use in the province in consultation with our policing partners and other experts. Revisions to the Use of Force Guideline and new CEW training standards were released to the police community via All Chiefs memorandum 10-0034 on March 29, 2010.
USE OF FORCE
In December 2009, amendments were made to the Equipment and Use of Force Regulation (O. Reg. 926/90), under the Police Service Act, allowing a Chief of Police to approve extensions for members who are unable to complete their mandated firearms and use of force training within the twelve-month period set out in the regulation.
Extensions must be recorded and Chiefs must ensure that members who receive an extension complete the training within 60 days.
The intention of the amendment is to set a high threshold for the approval of extensions for members. The expectation is also that extensions will be approved on a case by case basis for individual members as opposed to groups of members. As a result, the circumstances for which an extension may be granted should be restrictive.
The amendments were released via All Chiefs Memo on December 15, 2009.
HATE CRIMES
The PSAC Hate Crimes Working Group (HCWG) was established to address the report recommendations of the Hate Crimes Community Working Group (HCCWG), released late in 2006.
The PSAC HCWG includes representatives from the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards/Toronto Police Services Board, Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP), AMO, Ontario Provincial Police, OPC, Police Association of Ontario/Toronto Police Association, Toronto Police Service and the Ontario Victim Services Secretariat of MAG. Members of the Public Safety Division, MCSCS, facilitate the working group.
To date, PSAC HCWG has completed its working group Terms of Reference and work plan. Other notable milestones include the completion of: o Survey of existing best practices for operational resourcing and community outreach strategies for the investigation/prevention of “hate incidents” and “hate crimes” among Ontario police services; and
PUBLIC SAFETY DIVISION ZONE REPORT September 14, 2009 PAGE 7 OF 12
PSSB Zone Report Page 33 of 54 o Survey of existing training practices for “hate incidents” and “hate crime” investigations, both internal and external, among Ontario police services.
The working group is currently reviewing the guidelines for hate crime and hate propaganda. It is also working towards developing definitions for “hate incident” and “hate crime” as recommended by the HCCWG report.
INTERPROVINCIAL POLICING ACT, 2009
The Interprovincial Policing Act, 2009, received Royal Assent in the Ontario Legislature on December 15, 2009. In consultation with policing partners, MCSCS developed the provincial cross-border policing legislation to provide: o a mechanism whereby Ontario can grant police officer status to a police officer from another Canadian jurisdiction who is required to enter Ontario to perform police duties; o oversight of Ontario police officers operating out-of-province and oversight of extra-provincial police officers operating in Ontario; and o indemnification for civil liability issues that might be incurred while the Ontario police officer is performing police duties outside of Ontario.
Through regular PSAC Cross-Border Policing Working Group meetings, the ministry has consulted with its policing partners to ensure the creation of an efficient, effective and accountable process for provincial cross-border policing.
MCSCS is also working with its counterparts in Quebec to ensure consistency and reciprocity across borders. Provincial cross-border policing legislation has been adopted in the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
GOUDGE INQUIRY WORKING GROUP
The report of the Goudge Inquiry was released in 2008 containing 169 recommendations with respect to systemic failings and to improve the public’s confidence in Ontario’s pediatric forensic pathology system.
Approximately 19 of the Goudge Inquiry recommendations are policing-related. Such recommendations include the development of province-wide protocols on the type of information (verbal and written) that is to be communicated between police and coroners to forensic pathologists, and protocols related to case conferencing among police, coroners, and forensic pathologists.
Since August 2009, the Policing Standards Section of the MCSCS has been meeting regularly with the Ontario Homicide Investigators Association to review and respond to the policing-related recommendations of the Goudge Inquiry.

5. Chair’s Report
- Chair Lynn was unable to attend the recent conference so requested that Kevin Eccles provide a brief overview of the Annual OAPSB Conference held in Point Edward - Kevin Eccles stated that the conference went very well – special thanks to Point Edward - Concerns were originally expressed that the attendance may be down, however final numbers were 255 compared to 261 in Cornwall last year - excellent line up of speakers – motions that went forward were approved – working on the motion presented by Zone 5 - Banquet held on Friday evening may have contributed to sessions on Saturday not being well attended - site was very conducive for the conference with entertainment close by - Niagara Falls is the chosen site for 2011 – book early for conference – anticipate an outstanding conference in 2011 as well - financials are not available at this time - if a deficit is realized and a donation from Zone 5 is necessary, it will be determined at that time
5.1 Correspondence
- The following message was received via e-mail from Len Mikulich, Vice Chair - “Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the next Zone 5 meeting due to an important family matter. I do hope your meeting is a success. - Might I mention that I had a discussion with Bruce Giles of Saugeen Shores North Police Services Board at our last Zone meeting regarding the need to have all Section 31 Boards in Zone 5 communicate with each other regarding our collective agreements. It made sense to me as we were always being compared to each other in our negotiations by our respective Associations. I understand that Bruce will try and convene most of the Section 31 Boards during the meeting at one table to chat and have lunch together to toss out the idea. The focus will be to ‘huddle’ at our zone meetings – not be part of the program – and share information on each others negotiation status. I thought I would mention this endeavor as to not disrupt your meeting. It seems that this pro active approach would likely be more successful (for the Section 31 Boards in Zone 5) and meaningful than waiting for the main OAPSB to pull together the contracts in one main website location. By the way, I was told by Fred K. that the new OAPSB website would be launched at our Annual meeting. Perhaps I missed it. Was it? If not when? - Reminder. You will recall at our last Zone meeting a resolution was passed to possibly help offset the cost of the Annual meeting in Point Edward. I attended the conference and found it another successful meeting. I, for one, would need a lot of convincing to assist in the costs of their conference. If it were in dire straits then it didn’t show it. Besides I would vote to support our existing policy which is to help offset the costs of conferences in our Zone for up to $500.00”

OAPSB Zone 5 Minutes - 4 - Tuesday, June 8, 2010
OAPSB Zone 5 Minutes June 8th 2010 Page 42 of 54 Chatsworth
- Report presented by Bob Elliott - Quiet for policing - Proud to announce that Board was able to continue to supply an extra computer and service to serve the Detachment
Georgian Bluffs
- Dick Beresford presented report - Georgian Bluffs has an Auxiliary OPP office in Springmount at a trailer dealership, which has worked out well but the trailers are blocking the visibility of the cruiser from the highway. Board feels it is important that cruisers be visible when parked, as a deterrent, so are actively seeking another location. Ideally, if the Township puts an addition on their building, will seek an office in the building to save the $10,000.00 on the rent. - Contract has been settled for 5 years
Grey Highlands
- As reported by Stan Baker - The municipality, the Ministry and OPP seem to have come to an agreement on the new 5 year contract. From January to July, we are being charged the old rate then July 1 the new rate of $1,000,000.00 will kick in. - Our Board will be happy to present our ‘Officer of the Year’ award at the next council meeting June 14th. This program runs very well. Given the fact that it is not required that this award be made annually, it seems that more than one award could actually be presented given the high caliber of officers that care for our municipality. A wonderful situation to be in, in fact this year, the board had great difficulty choosing a recipient. - The passing of a student in a boating accident hit the community hard. What can be done to advise folks that they should not go out in a canoe at 3 am on a choppy night and with over the legal amount of alcohol in their system? We were so lucky that his young companion was a good swimmer. However, at that time on night/morning and with the close to freezing temperature his chances of survival were very poor. Our thoughts and prayers go to the young man’s friends and family. - We have concerns about the efficiencies of the provincial citizen appointments department that our ‘Orders in Council’ apply to. We have been waiting since June/July last year and are now in need for a second representative. When I explained to the representative that we were negotiating a new contract and that the province had no representation, she didn’t seem to be concerned. When I reminded her of conversations with me and one of the two applicants for these two positions, she denied knowledge of them. In fact when reiterating conversations held with her in the past, she has no knowledge of them. We need our ministry rep Peter Osinga to do more investigations on this. - From our Board to your Board – all the best for a happy safe summer.
Guelph

Ontario Provincial Police News Release/ Police provinciale de l’Ontario
Communiqué
FROM/DE: Grey County OPP DATE: June 1, 2010
Electric Bicycles
(Grey County, ON.) –Some new, greener vehicles, known as electric power assisted bicycles were quietly approved for use on Ontario roads approximately 7 months ago following a three year pilot project. These electric bikes come in forms that either resembles a standard bicycle or a motor scooter.
The rules governing the use of these e-bikes on the roads mirrors those of riding a standard bicycle but there are exceptions. Firstly, the operator must be 16 years of age or older and all riders must wear an approved motorcycle or bicycle helmet. There is no helmet exception for those over 18 years of age as with bicycles.
It is unlawful for the owner of an e-bike to permit it to be operated on a public roadway by an underage rider. Like bicycles, e-bikes may not be permitted on certain controlled access provincial highways and there may be municipal by-laws that prohibit them from roads, sidewalks, paths, trails or other areas within a specific jurisdiction.
In order to be operated as an e-bike on Ontario roads an e-bike must be in good mechanical condition and meet certain qualifying equipment specifications as follows:
The weight, including the battery, may not exceed 120 kilograms. Like a motorcycle, e-bikes must have two braking systems that apply force separately to the front and rear wheels. The stopping distance can not exceed 9 metres at a speed of 30 km/h. The wheels on an e-bike must be at least 350 mm (just under 14 inches) in diameter and 35 mm (1.4 inches) wide. The battery terminals, battery, wires and motor must be securely fastened to the bike. It must have handlebars and pedals and be designed to travel on not more than three wheels. The top speed of an e-bike can not exceed 32 km/h on level ground without pedalling and the motor can not be modified so that power output exceeds 500 watts.
Finally, a label must be permanently affixed that specifies in both official languages that the e-bike meets the requirements for a power-assisted bicycle under federal law, specifically section 2(1) of the Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations -30-
