SUMMARY: In September of 2018, as part of its governance and oversight responsibilities, the VPB committed to auditing street checks and annually releasing street check data that is broken down by gender and ethnicity. On January 15, 2020, British Columbia (BC) Provincial Policing Standard (BCPPS) 6.2.1 Police Stops (‘Standard’) came into effect. The Standard also requires police departments in BC to conduct an annual audit of street checks. The data in this report will address these commitments. This report will also provide the results of the audit and clarify the law surrounding the practice of street checks, comment on the efficacy of street checks, and comment on calls to ban the practice of street checks. The following is a high-level listing of the audit’s findings. Important background, information, and context is in the main body of the report, and must be read to avoid any misinterpretations: The Law Surrounding Street Checks (pages 6-8) In addition to BC, the following provincial governments have either regulated or provided guidance on the practice of street checks: Ontario; Saskatchewan; Nova Scotia; Quebec, and; Alberta (they are listed in chronological order of when each government provided direction). Police cannot conduct a street check that is random, arbitrary, biased, or based on identity factors such as (but not limited to) race or ethnicity.

  • Prevention of Elder Abuse: a Nelson & Area Resource Manual
    Prevention of Elder Abuse: A Nelson & Area Resource Manual Nelson & District Seniors Friends of Nelson Elders Coordinating Society INTRODUCTION The Nelson & Area Elder Abuse Prevention Project We would like to first take this opportunity to thank the Nelson & District Seniors Coordinating Society Board for supporting the development of this Manual, and the Friends of Nelson Elders for providing the funding. The Steering Committee guiding the project is a collective of volunteers including seniors’ counsellors, seniors representing the Nelson & Area Seniors Coordinating Society, and recently retired elder health care professionals. It is the conviction of all involved that community development is the foundation for the prevention of elder abuse and that education, communication and advocacy are the building blocks. The manual is intended to list resources and contacts that seniors may feel the most comfortable approaching or sharing information or concerns with. Because of this, the actual number of identified resources is limited but hopefully meet the manual’s intention of being the most “user friendly”; the committee apologizes in advance if an organization or resource has been missed. It is hoped that a Nelson and area elder abuse prevention web page can be developed in the future and information for additions or edits are invited for consideration of inclusion at that time. Finally, I would like to thank the Elder Abuse Prevention Project working group for the hours of time, energy, debate and dedication put in to the development of the manual. Thank you to Mary Audia, Christie Heuston, Gail Russell, and Alex Wallach. Yvonne Shewfelt, Chairperson Nelson & Area Elder Abuse Prevention Project Steering Committee Note: The terms Elder abuse, Older adult abuse or Senior’s abuse are interchangeable in the manual and reflect the articles or literature referenced.

  • Police Governance in Canada: a Parallax Perspective
    Police governance in Canada: A parallax perspective Michael Sheard Professional Doctorate in Policing, Security and Community Safety 2016 London Metropolitan University Abstract Tensions between public expectations for police governance and ethical governance mirror recent spectacular governance failures. Several recent Canadian commissions of inquiry and court cases critical of the police have suggested police governance need to be more direct and assertive. The small numbers of academic studies that focused on the unique field of policing have largely ignored the behaviour of police boards responsible for their governance. More importantly is the apparent lack of attention paid by those responsible for police governance to the criticality of the pluralistic nature of policing itself. This research focuses on police boards in particular and not the police, with particular attention given to the link between their ethical decision-making and public trust. National leads in police governance, representing regional and national boards and board associations from across the country, were interviewed for this research. Eight key aspects of police governance were analyzed, and a number of gaps between current and best practices were identified. Ultimately, a number of recommendations are made to close those gaps, including the contribution of a new universal assessment instrument for police governance: the parallax perspective tool. Key words: police governance, assessing performance, community trust and accountability, ethics and responsibilities, policy versus operational, political relationships, selection and training, strategic planning, and parallax perspective. ii Acknowledgements In presenting this thesis, the author would like to thank Alan Sheard, Margaret Sheard, Catherine Rogers, Adam Sheard, and Laurel Rogers for their love and support during this long process.
