for the year 2019. The Operations Division consists of Uniform Community Patrol, Traffic Services, Canine, Emergency Response Team (ERT), Crisis Negotiation, the Auxiliary Unit, Community Services, Training, Alternative Response Unit (ARU) and Chaplain Services. The year 2019 was another one of success, thanks to the 98 dedicated sworn officers, 21 civilians and 33 auxiliary members within the Division who worked cooperatively to meet divisional goals and objectives. The Operations’ divisional objectives focused on team policing, traffic safety, and building relationships with our community’s youth. I would like to recognize the following members for their leadership and thank each of them for their contributions, which enabled the completion of this year’s divisional report: Team One Sergeant John Townsend Team Two Sergeant Josh McGrath Team Three Sergeant Jeff Chartier Team Four Sergeant Ted Branch and Sergeant Jo-Anne Elliott (Started in May 2019) Team Five Sergeant Sean Quinlan Team Six Sergeant Craig Ralph Traffic Services Sergeant Ryan Wilson Emergency Response Team Sergeant Trevor Hickey and Sergeant Laine Schubert Canine Sergeant Ted Branch Community Services/Training Sergeant Ted Branch Auxiliary Policing Staff Sergeant Dan MacLean, Sergeant John Townsend, Auxiliary Staff Sergeants Andrew Burdett & Steve McLean Calls for service have increased for the first time in three years. 2019’s calls totaled 32,128, up 2.8% from 2018’s total of 31,246, which was 0.8% lower than 2017 with 31,504. Responding to calls for service is the primary responsibility of the Uniform Community Patrol, which consists of four platoons providing 24/7coverage of front-line policing to the communities served. Working within the team policing concept, officers are assigned to a specific patrol area. This concept provides a sense of ownership and familiarity to varying community concerns. Officers in each area work as a team under the direction of a Team Coordinator. Team members meet throughout the year to identify problems or potential problems within their area, discuss possible strategies to solve or avert the problem, and report on results of problem solving initiatives. A summary of police efforts and activities from each of the area teams are noted in this report. The Traffic Services Unit contributed significantly to the Service’s successes in 2019 by providing enforcement and education initiatives. It should be noted that during the course of the year, the Traffic Services Unit was required to supplement other staffing shortfalls such as court security, crime scene security and escorts. The section on Traffic Services accounts for the Unit’s 2019 campaign and results. Page 4 of 98 2019 saw a complete transition in the Peterborough Police Service Canine Unit. Two new teams, PC Cowie (Isaac) and PC Adey (Chase), were created and ultimately deployed in support of Patrol and Emergency Services units in Peterborough, Lakefield, and Cavan-Monaghan. The new teams have been introduced to the community and are quickly adapting to their new duties. They return to Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) at regular intervals for further training. The Emergency Response Team (ERT) had another successful year responding to various high- risk situations and assisting officers with searches and training. Aside from resolving high

  • Information Report to Council Report Number 17-302
    City of Kingston Information Report to Council Report Number 17-302 To: Mayor and Members of Council From: Lanie Hurdle, Commissioner, Community Services Resource Staff: Paige Agnew, Director, Planning, Building & Licensing Services Date of Meeting: November 7, 2017 Subject: Nuisance Party By-Law Executive Summary: The purpose of this Information Report is to provide an overview of the concept of a Nuisance Party By-Law as a local enforcement tool, to identify best practices from other Ontario municipalities, and to outline next steps for the development and implementation of the by-law in Kingston. In Ontario, a number of municipalities have enacted nuisance party by-laws to provide Police and By-Law Enforcement with the ability, under one City-wide by-law, to address the negative impacts on neighbourhoods of behaviours associated with large social gatherings. By exercising the authority provided under a nuisance party by-law, an Order can be issued by Police for a large social gathering/party to cease, and for the dispersal of people not residing at a residence where the social gathering is occurring. By-laws of this nature have been demonstrated to serve as an additional tool for local enforcement, bridging the gap between existing by-laws and charges under the Criminal Code. The regulatory purpose of this concept is to create a duty upon those hosting a social event or party to control the participants, and to give law enforcement personnel a mechanism to control and disperse people where the event has become a public nuisance. Nuisance party by-laws can therefore provide additional enforcement options beyond those available under existing by-laws and statutes.

  • Selected Police-Reported Crime and Calls for Service During the COVID-19 Pandemic, March 2020 to June 2021 Released at 8:30 A.M
    Selected police-reported crime and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic, March 2020 to June 2021 Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Tuesday, August 10, 2021 Police-reported data on selected types of crimes and calls for service during the COVID-19 pandemic from March 2020 to June 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 calls for service. Data will continue to be collected monthly until December 2021, and will continue to be reported regularly. This is the seventh 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. The Edmonton Police Service, Montréal Police Service, RCMP, Sûreté du Québec and Winnipeg Police Service were unable to provide data on calls for service; as a result, the police services that did provide these data serve nearly one-third (32%) of the Canadian population.
