The Board approved a 2012 budget of $254.7 million. At $252 per capita, the cost of policing remains one of the lowest among populations of over one million residents. In 2012, there were decreases in property crime, violent crime, youth crime and other criminal code violations compared to 2011. Community engagement was positive, with many residents attending the Board’s monthly public meetings and presentations on a wide variety of community safety topics. The Board recognized Mr. Dave Williams with the 2012 Civic Leadership Award for his excellence in volunteerism and commitment to enhancing the quality of life for residents. The Board also provided more than $76,000 from its Public Relations Fund for numerous programs and events supporting safer communities. The Board provides oversight and governance to the police service. I was pleased to be re-appointed Chair in January, and in February, Ms. Virginia Hackson, Mayor of the Town of East Gwillimbury, was appointed as a new Board member. I would like to thank my Board colleagues and Chief Eric Jolliffe for their vision and leadership, along with all members of our police service, for their work and partnerships in keeping York Region one of the safest and most desirable places to live in Canada. Mayor Frank Scarpitti Chair, Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board 4 MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE On behalf of all the dedicated and hardworking men and women of York Regional Police, I am pleased to present the 2012 Annual Report. York Region remains among the safest communities in Canada. I am proud of the work of our sworn and civilian members in this achievement. Whether on patrol or supporting our frontline, the everyday acts of heroism our people perform make a difference in our community and set York Regional Police apart from other police organizations in Canada. Our success would not be possible without the strong partnerships we share with our residents, businesses, community organizations, the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board and our regional and local councils. I take pride in the contribution York Regional Police makes to the success and security of our region and as we move forward we will continue to strengthen our ties with the communities we serve. Deputy Chief Bruce Herridge, Deputy Chief Tom Carrique and I are committed to serving our unique and diverse region with leadership and innovation as we build an organization that is vision-inspired, mission-focused and values-driven.
