This summary provides general reference material for specific costs detailed in schedules included in the 2017 municipal billing packages as well as general information regarding the OPP 2017 municipal policing cost recovery.
Municipal Base Services and Calls for Service Costs
The Base Services and Calls for Service costs are the calculated costs of OPP members providing municipal policing services. The costs are determined based on the staffing in detachments and the municipal policing activities performed. Statistical analysis of activity in all applicable detachments is used to determine the municipal policing workload allocation of all detachment based staff as well as the allocation of the municipal workload between base services and calls for service activity. For 2017 billing purposes the allocation of the municipal workload has been calculated to be 57.9°/o Base Services and 42.1 °/o Calls for Service. The total 2017 Base Services and Calls for Service cost calculation is detailed on the Base Services and Calls for Service Cost Summary included in the municipal billing package.
Base Services
The Base Services costs represent municipal costs related to proactive policing services such as routine patrols, crime prevention, RIDE programs, training, administration, etc. The cost to each municipality is determined by the number of properties in the municipality and the standard province-wide average cost per property. The number of municipal properties is determined based on MPAC data. The property count definition is attached to this summary for your reference, see Appendix A. The calculation of the standard province-wide base cost per property is detailed on Base Services and Calls for Service Cost Summary included in the municipal billing package.
Calls for Service
The Calls for Service costs represent the municipal costs related to policing services that are typically reactive in nature and usually require a police officer's attendance. A municipality pays a proportionate share of the total cost of municipal calls for service costs calculated for the province. A municipality's proportionate share of the costs is based on weighted time standards applied to the historical calls for service. The municipality's total weighted time is calculated as a percentage of the total of all municipalities. Please refer to Appendix B for a summary of the Calls for Service Billing Workgroups descriptions.
Overtime
Municipalities are billed for overtime resulting from occurrences in their geographic area and a portion of overtime that is not linked specifically to a municipality, such as training. Municipalities are not charged for overtime identified as a provincial responsibility. The overtime activity for the calendar years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 has been analyzed, applying the revised billing methodology, and averaged to forecast the 2017 costs. The costs incorporate the estimated 2017 salary rates and a discount to reflect overtime paid as time in lieu. The overtime costs incurred in servicing detachments for shift shortages have been allocated on a per property basis based on
2017 OPP Municipal Policing Billing General Information 1 - 17 - straight time. Please be advised that these costs will be reconciled to actual 2017 hours and salary rates.
Court Security
Municipalities with court security responsibilities in local courthouses have been billed court security costs based on the cost of the staff in the servicing detachment required to provide designated court security activities. 2017 costs have been based on 2015 security activity and security requirements specified by detachment staff. Please be advised that these costs will be reconciled to actual 2017 hours and salary rates.
Prisoner Transportation
Prisoner Transport costs have been allocated to municipalities on a per property basis. The total estimated cost of municipal detachment staff providing prisoner transport services across the province has been calculated based on 2015 activities. The standard per property cost was calculated using the total of all OPP-policed municipal properties. Please be advised that these costs will be reconciled to actual 2017 hours and salary rates.
Accommodation/Cleaning Services
The municipal portion of the cost of provincially-owned detachment facilities has been allocated to municipalities on a per property basis. A standard province-wide rate has been set based on the total calculated municipal detachment costs and the property counts of municipalities requiring detachment facilities. The municipal detachment costs are based on the number of municipal officers and the per officer cost set in the 2016 Municipal Policing Cost-Recovery Formula.
Cleaning costs have been allocated to municipalities on a per property basis. The cost of the municipal portion of detachment caretakers, garage attendants and cleaning service contracts has been calculated and prorated based on the property counts of municipalities requiring these services.
Phase-in Adjustment
The municipal cost impacts of the revised municipal billing model are being phased in over a period of five years, 2015 to 2019. The 2017 phase-in adjustment is based on the comparison of the 2017 calculated cost per property to the 2016 adjusted cost per property plus a cost growth amount in accordance with 0 Reg. 267/14 of the Police Services Act.
The Cost Growth Amount is calculated based on the 2017 municipal FTEs and the cost difference between the 2016 and 2017 Salary and Benefit Rates, Support Costs and Other Direct Operating Expenses in accordance with 0. Reg. 267/14. For 2017 the Cost Growth Amount is $6.98 per property.
The table below details the municipal counts of 2017 phase-in adjustments:
2017 OPP Municipal Policing Billing General Information 2 - 18 - 2017 vs. 2016 Phase-in cap applied # of Municipalities Cost per Property Increase greater than $40 Maximum $40 increase 53 (plus cost growth amount) (plus cost growth amount) 0 to $40 Increase n/a 177 (plus cost growth factor) Decrease up to $89.87 n/a 81 Decrease greater than Maximum $89.87 12 $89.87 decrease
Year End Adjustments
Upon completion of 2017, municipal costs based on salaries and benefits components will be recalculated to account for variances between estimated and final rates applicable for the year as determined by collective bargaining agreements and the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (MGCS) revised benefits calculations. The number of municipal detachment FTEs, "base/calls for service" ratio, property counts, municipal calls for service allocation rates, and PSU discounts included in the original calculations of the 2017 billing will remain unchanged. Overtime, Court Security, Contract Enhancements and Prisoner Transport costs will be recalculated based on actual 2017 data. The determination of the final 2017 costs may change the per property growth amount and phase-in caps applied in the issued billing. The capped per property rate may be decreased or increased depending on the final year end status of the costs. Any adjustments required as a result of the recalculation of 2017 costs will be included as a Prior Year Adjustment in the 2019 Annual Billing Statement issued in fall 2018.
The information provided with the 2015 municipal policing cost annual billing statements advised that the 2017 annual billing statement would include a final 2015 year end adjustment resulting from the recalculation of the costs as described in the preceding paragraph. The recalculation of costs is dependent on salary and benefit rates, as well as certain activity levels. The revision of collective bargaining agreements and benefits rates remained outstanding at the time the 2017 billing statements were prepared. The 2015 year end adjustment will be included in the 2018 annual billing statements.
Court Security and Prisoner Transportation Grant
The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) had not finalized the 2017 municipal grant allocations at the time the 2017 annual billing statements were prepared and therefore the grant allocation has not been included in the annual billing statements. Court Security and Prisoner Transport (CSPT) costs are partially offset by the grant allocation. Municipalities will be notified of their 2017 grant allocation in the fall of 2016 and the 2017 municipal CSPT grants will be credited to municipalities in 2017, 25°/o in February and the remainder by September. Please note that a review of 2016 reconciled costs will need to be compared to the actual grant allocated for 2016. If the grant amount is more than the reconciled costs, an adjustment will be made to your 2017 grant allocation.

- 19 - Provincial Service Usage
The billing model recognizes all of the detachments that service municipalities (municipal detachments) as one entity supporting each other with investigations, workload pressures and staffing shortages. Provincial Service Usage (PSU) is generated when officers perform provincially-mandated responsibilities requiring them to work outside the municipal detachments or perform certain specialized duties within detachment areas; for example security for a major event such as the G8/G20 Conference or 2015 Pan Am Games. To acknowledge the deployment of detachment officers for PSU related activities, municipal costs have been discounted. A PSU discount rate is applied to the total municipal policing FTEs to reflect the reduction in service provided to all municipalities. The rate is based on a four-year average of the annual rates calculated for 2012 through 2015. The PSU discount rate applied in 2017 is 3.63°/o. In total $13,779,231 (88.74 municipal policing FTEs), has been removed from the costs allocated to municipalities.
Detachment revenue
Revenue collected at detachments on behalf of municipalities has not been included in the billing statement costs. Any detachment revenue owing to municipalities upon completion of the year will be issued to the municipality through a credit. We anticipate the timing of this to be February or March of the following year.
Municipalities in Group Policing Service Contract Arrangements
Municipalities are allocated police services costs in accordance with their municipal structure and assumed responsibility for policing as dictated by the Police Service Act s.4; that is any lower tier, single tier or regional municipality is billed based on the costs allocated to them. The costs for municipalities who have formed a group OPP Policing Service contract will be the sum of the costs of the individual municipalities and the cost of contract enhancements (if applicable).
The group billed phased-in costs for 2017 is a sum of the individual municipalities in the group.

2017 OPP Municipal Policing Billing: Property Count Definitions
The property counts included in the OPP municipal policing bills are comprised of household, commercial and industrial properties. The property counts data is based on the requirements defined in 0. Reg. 267/14 of the Police Services Act (PSA) and will be updated annually based on Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) 1 data. The counts included in the 2017 OPP municipal billing were based upon 2015 year end property counts for 2016 taxation.
Households
Household counts are the number of residential units (RU), farmlands on which a farm residence exists (FRU), and seasonal dwelling units (RDU).
Commercial and Industrial Properties
Commercial and Industrial property counts are the number of assessment roll numbers in the commercial and industrial realty tax classes (RTC) detailed in Table 1. The count includes the number of commercial and industrial classifications taxed at the fully occupied tax rates (refer to Realty Tax Qualifier (RTC) descriptions in Table 2).
Other Property Count Considerations
• Households, commercial and industrial properties on Canadian Forces Bases (CFB) have been excluded, as CFBs have their own police. • Property counts have been adjusted for municipalities receiving hybrid (OPP and Municipal police) policing services. • Timeshares are adjusted in household numbers to count the assessment roll numbers as identified by MPAC Property Codes 385 and 386. • There is no distinction made between types of commercial and industrial properties. For example, a single property count would apply to each: a gas station, an office building, or a nightclub. • Commercial properties with multiple units, such as shopping centres count as a single property, regardless of the number of commercial units. Similarly, a large industrial property with a small commercial unit attached would be counted as a single property. • A commercial or industrial property with residence or apartment on site (e.g., golf courses with houses, apartments above retail), is included in both the household and commercial/industrial counts. The number of residential units is reflected in the household counts and the commercial/industrial portion counted as a commercial or industrial property. • A residential property with a commercial or industrial business on site (e.g., residence with a hair salon), is included in both the household and commercial/industrial counts. • Institutional properties are excluded, with the exception of those with a residential component (e.g. continuum of care seniors facility), which would be captured in the

- 22 - household count and those with a fully taxable commercial/industrial component which would be counted once in the commercial/industrial count. • Vacant lands, including vacant farmland, vacant commercial or industrial lands and managed forest, are not included in the property counts with the exception of those having a structure or unit which is taxed at full commercial/industrial rates or the property is occupied and has residential units. • Trailers in ca'mpgrounds having an RDU unit class are included in the household counts. If the campground has a commercial/industrial portion, the property is also reflected in the commercial/industrial count.

THUNDER BAY OPP – OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
OPP FALL SEATBELT CAMPAIGN
From Wednesday, September 21 to Friday, October 7, 2016 members of the Thunder Bay Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) will be participating in a Provincial Traffic Safety Initiative focusing on seatbelts.
All drivers and passengers should be properly restrained within a vehicle, regardless of how short the trip may be. A properly worn seat belt greatly increases your chances of surviving a motor vehicle collision. Drivers are responsible for ensuring all passengers under 16 years of age are using a seatbelt or child safety seat properly. The following seatbelt related charges can be found under the Highway Traffic Act:
• s. 106(1) Drive with seatbelt (removed/inoperative/modified) $240 • s. 106(2) Driver – fail to properly wear seatbelt $240 (2 demerit points) • s. 106(3)(a) Passenger – fail to occupy position with seatbelt $240 • s. 106(3)(b) Passenger – fail to properly wear seatbelt $240 • s. 106(4)(a) Drive while passenger under 16 fails to… • (i)…occupy position with seatbelt $240 (2 demerit points) • (ii).. properly wear seatbelt $240 (2 demerit points) • s. 106(4)(b) Drive while child passenger not properly secured $240
During this initiative, officers will also be looking for other types of aggressive driving behaviour including: distracted driving, drinking and driving, speeding, in addition to seatbelt compliance.
Members of the Thunder Bay OPP are committed to public safety, delivering proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities.
REMINDERS FOR CLOSING UP SEASONAL RESIDENCES
With the Fall season here, many cottage and seasonal property owners begin to close or winterize their properties. It is important to protect your investment all year-round.
- 28 - Some tips to safe guard your cottage include:
• Secure your windows and doors. Close window curtains or blinds, and put up shutters to protect the interior from animals or humans • Do not leave any valuables at the cottage (electronics, personal items, tools) unless you’re prepared to lose them. Lock up sporting goods that you decide must stay year-round (fishing rods & equipment, water skis, toys). Record the serial numbers of anything of value left behind. • Pack up and take home all alcohol. • Don’t leave firearms or weapons at your cottage. It is important to know that if firearms are not secured properly, the owner of the firearm may be charged for unsafe storage under the Criminal Code of Canada.
Some additional end of season tips:
• If you are leaving vehicles, boats, ATVs or snow machines, make sure they’re winterized and secure. Leave nothing on trailers unless it is locked or disabled. • Designate a year-round contact or key-holder for: alarms, thefts, weather damage or animal problems. • Make a list of where everything is and make copies. Store one copy at your primary residence and put a copy with items that will go back up to the cottage on your next trip.
These tips can help reduce thefts and damage to cottages and summer homes during the off-season. For more tips on protecting your property go to www.opp.ca.
FRAUD CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE, ANYWHERE AND AT ANYTIME
Don’t Become a Victim of the Front Desk Scam
The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is warning hotel guests of yet another scam that is making its way around and involves an issue with your credit card. The Front Desk Scam is a form of phishing, where the caller will try to obtain valuable credit card information from you stating they are calling from the Front Desk of the hotel you are staying at and need to confirm particular details specific to your credit card. In many cases, what the caller is looking for is a confirmation of the credit card number and the 3-digit security code located on the back of the card. If this information is provided, it can allow for a credit card to be made which could be used for fraudulent purchases.
The Canadian Anti – Fraud Centre (CAFC) was contacted and is aware of this scam and together, the OPP and the CAFC are suggesting that anyone who receives such a call should not provide any credit card details over the phone, but rather should attend the hotel front desk to deal with the matter.
- 29 - The scam is sneaky in that the scammer calls the hotel and asks to be put through to your room or they utilize an existing automated system within the hotel where they connect with you directly in an attempt to play out the scam. Often the guest is caught off guard and complies with the scammer as they imply that there is an issue involving your credit card information.
The OPP is using this incident to remind the public never give out any credit card information over the phone, ask for the name of someone you can speak to and if you are staying in a hotel and receive such a call, tell the caller that you will come down to the Front Desk in person to deal with the problem. If it turns out there is not a problem with your credit card inform the Hotel Manager and contact to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by visiting their website or calling 1-888-495-8501 to report the incident.
MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLES ARE SAFE AND YOUR LOADS ARE SECURE WHEN TRAVELLING
The OPP is reminding all motorists to ensure that any loads they are carrying are properly secured with appropriate tie down straps. It is also a good idea to stop and confirm that the tie down straps have remained secure after travelling a short distance as there may be settling of the load. This settling could cause items to become insecure and subsequently fall from the vehicle.
Items falling from vehicles onto the highway present a very dangerous situation for other motorists that often result in collisions as drivers try to avoid the hazard.
If you are pulling a trailer, ensure your vehicle along with the trailer is properly maintained and capable of towing the extra load. Keep in mind that your vehicle may handle differently and your stopping distances may be longer than expected.
Please drive safe and ensure your complete attention is on the task of driving and the road ahead of you.
BE SAFE AND FOLLOW THE RULES DURING HUNTING SEASON
Ontario encourages hunters to learn and follow the rules when hunting:
- 30 - Hunting Safety Rules:
• All hunters must wear solid hunter orange clothing (a minimum of 400 square inches or 2,580 square centimetres above the waist) and a hunter orange head cover during gun seasons for deer, moose and elk. Outside the gun seasons for deer, moose and elk these requirements also apply to bear hunters who are not hunting from a tree stand. • Handle firearms with care and attention at all times. • Hunters must never shoot unless they are absolutely sure of their target and what lies beyond it. • It is illegal to shoot from a vehicle or carry a loaded firearm in or on a vehicle. • It is illegal to discharge a firearm from or across the travelled portion of a right of way for public vehicular traffic. In many parts of Ontario it is also illegal to have a loaded firearm, or discharge a firearm, in any part of the right of way. • Never drink alcohol and hunt. • If you hunt from a tree stand always wear a safety harness and use a rope to raise and lower your firearm.
General Safety:
• Tell someone where you will be hunting and when you will be returning. • Know the weather conditions in your hunting area and dress accordingly. • In an emergency, stay calm and stay put. • Avoid hypothermia. Know how to treat it if it strikes. • Keep rested, hydrated and well nourished. • Carry a survival kit and a small first aid kit with you at all times. • Know how to build a fire in all weather conditions and carry the supplies to start one. • Carry a map and compass or GPS unit and know how to use them.
General Hunting Rules:
• A hunter cannot transfer his/her game seal or possess a game seal issued to another person. • After a moose, deer, elk or bear is killed, the game seal holder must immediately attach the valid game seal to the animal in the manner prescribed on the seal, and it must remain attached during transportation. • Hunters must make sure they can identify their targets appropriately, whether distinguishing between deer, moose and elk, or ensuring the animal they are hunting belongs to the age or sex of animal they are licensed to hunt. • Natural attractants containing body fluids (urine, blood, etc.) of any cervid (moose, deer, elk) may no longer be possessed or used for the purposes of hunting in Ontario. This regulation is designed to help prevent chronic wasting disease from entering the province. More information is available at ontario.ca/cwd. - 31 - • Bear cannot be hunted within 400 metres of a waste disposal site. • To reduce the potential for conflict, bear hunting bait may not be placed within 500 metres of a dwelling without permission, 500 metres of a public building, or 200 metres of the right of way for public vehicles or a marked recreational trail. • Hunters must remove any temporary structures, including tree stands, placed on Crown land.
Party Hunting: Party hunting means two or more people hunting together. The rules include: • All members of the party must hunt together in the same wildlife management unit as the person who holds the seal for the moose, deer, elk or bear being hunted. Hunting party members must be within five kilometres of the seal holder. • Each member of the hunting party must be able to communicate reliably and immediately with other members of the party. The person who kills a moose, deer, elk or bear while hunting in a party must immediately notify all other members. • Once an animal is killed the seal holder must immediately attend the site of the kill and affix the game seal to the animal. • Each person in a hunting party must have a valid hunting licence. • The total number of animals of a specified sex or age killed by the party cannot exceed the total number of seals validated for that sex or age that members of the party hold.
For information on regulations and seasons, consult the Hunting Regulations Summary.
To report unlawful night hunting or any other illegal and unsafe hunting activity, call the MNRF TIPS Line at 1-877-847-7667 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222- 8477.
The preceding information provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry.
HALLOWEEN SAFETY TIPS
Walk Safely
• Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. • Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross. • Put electronic devices down and keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street. • Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them. • Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings. - 32 - • Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
Trick or Treat With an Adult
Children under the age of 12 should not be alone at night without adult supervision. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, they should stick to familiar areas that are well lit and trick-or-treat in groups.
Keep Costumes Both Creative and Safe
• Decorate costumes and bags with reflective tape or stickers and, if possible, choose light colors. • Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision. • Have kids carry glow sticks or flashlights to help them see and be seen by drivers. • When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.
Drive Extra Safely on Halloween
• Slow down and be especially alert in residential neighborhoods. Children are excited on Halloween and may move in unpredictable ways. • Take extra time to look for kids at intersections, on medians and on curbs. • Enter and exit driveways and alleys slowly and carefully. • Eliminate any distractions inside your car so you can concentrate on the road and your surroundings. • Drive slowly, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and turn your headlights on earlier in the day to spot children from greater distances. • Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so be especially alert for kids during those hours.

OFF ROAD VEHICLE (ORV) SAFETY
The OPP is reminding riders to exercise caution and follow basic safety rules when operating off-road vehicles (ORV) or all-terrain vehicles (ATV).
Investigations into ORV/ATV collisions continue to show that alcohol consumption, lack of experience, high speed, lack of helmet use and overall carelessness are major contributing factors in severe injuries or deaths associated with this outdoor activity.
ORV / ATV Information
Municipal Bylaws ATVs/ORVs are prohibited from travelling on a municipal road if a bylaw has not been issued. Municipalities decide which roads, the time of day and season when they are permitted.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY?
Make a Disaster Preparedness Plan
It is important to make sure that the entire family is prepared and informed in the event of a disaster or emergency. You may not always be together when these events take place and should have plans for making sure you are able to contact and find one another.
The following information are some basic steps to make sure you remain safe:
• Meet with your family or household members. - 37 - • Discuss how to prepare and respond to emergencies that are most likely to happen where you live, learn, work and play. • Identify responsibilities for each member of your household and plan to work together as a team. • If a family member is in the military, plan how you would respond if they were deployed. • Plan what to do in case you are separated during an emergency • Choose two places to meet: • Right outside your home in case of a sudden emergency, such as a fire • Outside your neighborhood, in case you cannot return home or are asked to evacuate • Choose an out-of-area emergency contact person. • It may be easier to text or call long distance if local phone lines are overloaded or out of service. Everyone should have emergency contact information in writing or saved on their cell phones. • Plan what to do if you have to evacuate • Decide where you would go and what route you would take to get there. You may choose to go to a hotel/motel, stay with friends or relatives in a safe location or go to an evacuation shelter if necessary. • Practice evacuating your home twice a year. Drive your planned evacuation route and plot alternate routes on your map in case roads are impassable. • Plan ahead for your pets • Keep a phone list of pet-friendly hotels/motels and animal shelters that are along your evacuation routes. • Let Your Family Know You're Safe

MEMORANDUM TO: Stephen Beckett Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services
FROM: Robert Mathew Assistant Deputy Minister Central Services Division Ministry of Government and Consumer Services
SUBJECT: Ontario Passenger Plates
This memorandum is to advise that Ontario will temporarily use a small number of passenger plates to augment its current inventory.
A total of 100,000 passenger plates that are slightly different than existing stock have recently been manufactured in order to address immediate inventory and production issues. The first shipment of 35,000 plates will be available to the public beginning the week of October 10th, 2016.
These plates are similar to the current passenger plates, except they are 1/8” smaller in both length and width, and 0.003” thinner, than the standard size Ontario license plates of 12” by 6”. In addition to being slightly smaller, the character font on these passenger plates is slightly different and they will not include the ‘Ensure Mark’ (known as a hologram). Please refer to the attached samples of current and revised passenger plates for your reference.
Only passenger plates are impacted by the size and font differences. All other plate types including commercial, trailer, motorcycle, et cetera, remain unchanged.
If members of the law enforcement community require further clarification, they may contact Kevin Maunder at the ServiceOntario, Kingston Production & Verification Services office at (613) 547- 1747.
I would ask that you please bring this memorandum to the attention of the appropriate members of your service.
Thank you for your assistance in communicating this change.

Mr. Stephen Beckett Assistant Deputy Minister, Public Safety Division Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services 25 Grosvenor Street, 12th Floor Toronto, ON M7A 1Y6
Dear Mr. Beckett:
RE: Ontario’s Strategy to End Human Trafficking
You may be aware that on June 30, 2016, Ontario announced that it will invest up to $72M over four years in an anti-human trafficking strategy aimed at increasing awareness and coordination, enhancing justice-sector initiatives and improving survivors’ access to services.
Under the strategy, the Ministry of the Attorney General’s Victims and Vulnerable Persons Division is enhancing direct services and benefits for victims of human trafficking through the following initiatives:
1) Enhancing the capacity of the Victim Crisis Assistance Ontario (VCAO) Program to serve victims of human trafficking The VCAO Program is delivered by non-profit community agencies, and supports victims in the immediate aftermath of a crime or tragic circumstances by providing 24/7 on-scene early intervention, needs assessments, safety planning and referrals, among other services.
Further to the Memoranda of Understanding on information sharing between police services and local VCAO Service Delivery Organizations signed in early 2016, police services across the province have been working more closely with VCAO organizations to refer eligible victims to services.
We are pleased to announce that through this investment, VCAO Service Delivery Organizations will have enhanced capacity to support victims of human trafficking that are referred to the Program.
…./2
- 48 -
- 2 -
2) Introducing new Victim Quick Response Program (VQRP) benefits for victims of human trafficking The VQRP aims to support victims in the immediate aftermath of violent crimes by providing financial assistance with essential expenses in order to lessen the impact of the crime, enhance safety and meet practical needs. VCAO Service Delivery Organizations act as a gateway to VQRP by helping eligible victims apply for the benefits.
The Program can cover the cost of emergency expenses, counselling services, traditional Indigenous healing services, and funeral expenses. It is a Program of last resort, i.e., when there is no other publicly funded service available that can meet the individual’s needs, and the individual is in need of financial support.
We are pleased to announce that through this investment, new VQRP benefits were created for victims of human trafficking. These benefits were designed to respond to the needs of the most vulnerable victims, including Indigenous victims of human trafficking.
To ensure that victims of human trafficking are aware of the enhanced services and benefits that are now available to them, we encourage the police to continue to refer all victims of human trafficking to the VCAO Service Delivery organization in your community.
You will find attached a reference document that outlines available VQRP benefits for victims of human trafficking. Your local VCAO organization can also provide additional information (see attached list of VCAO service providers across the province).
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to ensuring that victims have access to the services that are available in the community.
Best regards,
Juanita Dobson Assistant Deputy Attorney General

Dear Members:
As you are aware, I was appointed on April 29, 2016, to lead an independent review of the police oversight bodies in Ontario: the Special Investigations Unit, the Office of the Independent Police Review Director and the Ontario Civilian Police Commission. The purpose of my review will be:
• to make recommendations on how to enhance the transparency and accountability of the police oversight bodies while preserving fundamental rights; • to ensure the police oversight bodies are effective and have clear mandates; and, • to reduce overlap and inefficiencies between these bodies.
A final report containing all recommendations will be delivered to the Attorney General no later than March 31, 2017, and will be made available to the public.
In addition to engaging in public consultations, I will also be meeting with key stakeholders across the province. As part of this, I am attending the Ontario Association of Police Service Boards’ 2016 Labour Seminar on October 20th at 1:30 p.m. to hear police service board members’ views of Ontario’s three police oversight bodies.
Both myself and Mr. Eli El-Chantiry, President, OAPSB, encourage you to attend this session. More details about the 2016 Labour Seminar can be found at http://www.oapsb.ca/events/2016_labour_seminar/. You may also wish to attend one of the public consultation sessions that are being held across Ontario. Public consultation meeting information can be found at our website, www.policeoversightreview.ca.

Premier's instructions to the Minister on priorities.
September 23, 2016
The Honourable David Orazietti Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services 25 Grosvenor Street 18th Floor, George Drew Building Toronto, Ontario M7A 1Y6
Dear Minister Orazietti:
Welcome to your role as Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services. As we mark the mid- point of our mandate, we have a strong and new Cabinet, and are poised to redouble our efforts to deliver on our top priority — creating jobs and growth. Guided by our balanced plan to build Ontario up for everyone, we will continue to work together to deliver real benefits and more inclusive growth that will help people in their everyday lives.
We embark on this important part of our mandate knowing that our four-part economic plan is working — we are making the largest investment in public infrastructure in Ontario’s history, making postsecondary education more affordable and accessible, leading the transition to a low-carbon economy and the fight against climate change, and building retirement security for workers.
Building on our ambitious and activist agenda, and with a focus on implementing our economic plan, we will continue to forge partnerships with businesses, educators, labour, communities, the not-for-profit sector and with all Ontarians to foster economic growth and to make a genuine, positive difference in people’s lives. Collaboration and active listening remain at the heart of the work we undertake on behalf of the people of Ontario — these are values that ensure a common purpose, stimulate positive change and help achieve desired outcomes. With this in mind, I ask that you work closely with your Cabinet colleagues to deliver positive results on initiatives that cut across several ministries, such as our Climate Change Action Plan, Business Growth Initiative, and the Highly Skilled Workforce Strategy. I also ask you to collaborate with the Minister Responsible for Digital Government to drive digital transformation across government and modernize public service delivery.
We have made tangible progress and we have achieved the following key results:
• Implemented a new, fairer and more transparent OPP billing model for the communities the OPP serves. • The Police Record Checks Reform Act was passed on December 1, 2015. The new legislation sets the province’s first-ever clear, consistent and comprehensive set of standards to govern police record checks. Once proclaimed, the act’s new standards for police record checks will ensure an
- 69 - appropriate balance between maintaining public safety while also protecting the privacy rights of individuals. • Filed two regulations under the Police Services Act (PSA) that ban the arbitrary and race-based collection of identifying information by police, often referred to as “carding” or “street checks”, and amends the current Code of Conduct under the PSA to make violating these rules a misconduct. This regulation sets out clear and consistent rules for a range of voluntary police- public interactions where police are seeking to collect identifying information. • Passed legislation that prohibits the possession and breeding of orcas in Ontario and have set specific standards of care for marine mammals. • Undertook public consultations across Ontario to support the development of the Strategy for a Safer Ontario.
Your mandate is to work on ensuring that Ontario's communities are supported and protected by law enforcement and public safety systems that are safe, secure, effective, efficient and accountable. Your specific priorities include: Leading Correctional Transformation
• Working with stakeholders and relevant ministries to support the long-term transformation of the correctional system. First steps will include operational updates to the ministry’s policies on the use of segregation in correctional facilities in fall 2016. • Working with the Attorney General to develop and initiate implementation of a targeted strategy to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Ontario’s criminal justice system in the area of bail and remand while maintaining public safety. Modernizing Public Safety
• Building on the consultations to date to support the development of the Strategy for a Safer Ontario. Introduce legislation in spring 2017 to modernize the Police Services Act to build safer, stronger communities across the province. Develop options to prioritize de-escalation in police interactions with the public. • Engaging Indigenous partners on the Strategy for a Safer Ontario, including First Nations communities on developing options for a provincial framework for First Nations policing. • Supporting the Attorney General following the independent review of police oversight in the province. • In partnership with the Minister Responsible for Women’s Issues, the Minister of Community and Social Services and the Attorney General, supporting the delivery of Ontario’s multi-year survivor-focused Strategy to End Human Trafficking. This includes implementing initiatives under the strategy to enhance the capacity of law enforcement to identify, co-ordinate and investigate human trafficking activities. • As committed to in spring 2016, in consultation with the Anti-Racism Directorate, selecting an independent reviewer to complete a review of the regulation prohibiting the arbitrary collection of identifying information by police within two years of full regulatory implementation. Launch a multi-year academic study to better understand the impact on community safety of collecting identifying information through police interactions. • Introducing legislation in 2017 to support the investigation of missing persons. • Establishing a Fire Safety Technical Table to provide recommendations to modernize fire service delivery in Ontario in fall 2017. • Reviewing the current animal welfare framework and consider options for regulating exotic animals in the province.
- 70 - In addition to the priority activities above, I ask that you also deliver results for Ontarians by driving progress in the following areas:
• Continue to work with stakeholders on regulations required to support the proclamation of the Police Record Checks Reform Act so that people’s privacy is respected while protecting public safety. • Support the Minister Responsible for Women’s Issues, the Minister of Community and Social Services and the Attorney General to review existing programs and services and create an updated domestic violence action plan.
As you know, taking action on the recommendations contained in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report is a priority for our government. That is why we released The Journey Together, a document that serves as a blueprint for making our government’s commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous peoples a reality. As we move forward with the implementation of the report, I ask you and your fellow Cabinet members to work together, in co-operation with our Indigenous partners, to help achieve real and measurable change for Indigenous communities.
Having made significant progress over the past year in implementing our community hubs strategy, I encourage you and your Cabinet colleagues to ensure that the Premier’s Special Advisor on Community Hubs and the Community Hubs Secretariat, at the Ministry of Infrastructure, are given the support they need to continue their vital cross-government work aimed at making better use of public properties, encouraging multi-use spaces and helping communities create financially sustainable hub models.
Responsible fiscal management remains an overarching priority for our government — a priority echoed strongly in our 2016 Budget. Thanks to our disciplined approach to the province’s finances over the past two years, we are on track to balance the budget next year, in 2017–18, which will also lower the province’s debt-to-GDP ratio. Yet this is not the moment to rest on our past accomplishments: it is essential that we work collaboratively across every sector of government to support evidence-based decision-making to ensure programs and services are effective, efficient and sustainable, in order to balance the budget by 2017–18, maintain balance in 2018–19, and position the province for longer-term fiscal sustainability.
Marathon runners will tell you that an event’s halfway mark is an opportunity to reflect on progress made — but they will also tell you that it is the ideal moment to concentrate more intently and to move decisively forward. At this halfway mark of this government’s mandate, I encourage you to build on the momentum that we have successfully achieved over the past two years, to work in tandem with your fellow ministers to advance our economic plan and to ensure that Ontario remains a great place to live, work and raise a family.
I look forward to working together with you to build opportunity and prosperity for all Ontarians.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Wynne Premier
