Discussion on Mr. Oates second brief to the Board. Disappointment was expressed with the admission that he knew the answers to the questions submitted to the Board and the Board's effort to address them in good faith, constitutes nuisance. Furthermore, despite a written effort to clarify the issue, Mr. Oates continues to demonstrate a poor understanding of the Board's role and confuses its mandated responsibility for "adequate and effective" policing with that of operational efficiencies. It was noted that the Board oversees a contract for services and is primarily concerned about and diligently monitors performance outcomes and results based on its pre- determined strategic priorities and benchmarks; how efficiently those results are achieved or duties executed are operational issues under the purview of the OPP and the Provincial governemnt and therfore are not, nor should not be, matters of interest to the Board.

5
Page 15 of 142 OPP Detachment Commanders Report Jan. Feb. 2009 Grey County Ontario Provincial Police
Grey Highlands Police Services Board Report
expressed this appreciation in The Sun Times.
February: Constable Nuttall recently assisted some motorists who had to wait for assistance to change a flat tire. She ensured that assistance was on the way, offered a ride if necessary and stayed with the motorists until they could proceed on their way. This helpfulness impressed them enough that they brought it to the attention of the Operations Manager. Community Services Detachment January: Initiatives Crime Initiative: Since Grey County O.P.P. has experienced a higher then normal number of motorized snow vehicle thefts thus far in the 2008-2009 winter season, Constable Starr issued a release dealing with theft prevention tips. These tips included locking the vehicle, disabling the vehicle, parking it in a well lit area and ensuring that the proper identification is engraved on the machine.
Traffic Initiative: The severe weather conditions we saw in January prompted Constable Starr to publish a reminder to the public about the dangers and consequences of driving on closed highways.
February: Crime Initiative: A media release in January referred to charges being laid against a local youth after threatening text messages were sent. The release prompted questions from some members of the media regarding the circumstances where police would charge a person who has “uttered threats”. The current Criminal Code section, 264.1, that deals with someone uttering threats is much more simplified and is as follows:
264.1 (1) Every one commits an offence who, in any manner, knowingly utters, conveys or causes any person to receive a threat (a) to cause death or bodily harm to any person; (b) to burn, destroy or damage real or personal property; or (c) to kill, poison or injure an animal or bird that is the property of any person.
Although words spoken in jest or with an innocent meaning do not meet the criteria of the offence it crosses the line when the person making the threat intends it to be taken seriously or used to intimidate.

Grey Highlands Police Services Board Report
Traffic Initiative: Drivers were reminded to take the necessary time to ensure that the frost and snow is clear from their windshields before attempting to drive their vehicle. Failure to do so could result in a charge or maybe even a collision. This problem is most commonly encountered during the winter months, but the same law applies year round if stickers, stuffed toys or other objects are placed or hung in such a way that they interfere with a driver’s view as required by law.

Good day All
For those of you that know Inspector Steve Walsh detachment commander of Wellington County OPP, he is retiring effective the end of June 2009. His last official day of work is Fri 27 Feb 09.
Headquarters has asked that I assume command of Wellington detachment until a replacement has been selected. I have agreed to assist. I commence that assignment on Mon 02 Mar 09.
Inspector John Periversoff will assume command of Grey County until my return. I expect the assignment to last approx 3 months. Circumstances could extend or reduce this time frame so I will keep you posted.
My pager and phone numbers remain the same. If you need something do not hesitate to contact me.

Early in this investigation information provided to responding officers caused concern that there may have been someone active with a firearm in the area where the deceased man was located. Concern for public safety caused officers to take precautions which included a lockdown at two public schools in the vicinity. That situation changed when it was confirmed that the report of a man in the area with a firearm was unfounded and the lockdown was lifted. Grey County OPP wants to reassure the citizens of Dundalk and area that there is no concern for public safety in relation to this incident. The matter is now being investigated as a homicide. During the course of the investigation overnight, an 18 year-old male suspect was identified and taken into police custody. The identity of the suspect will not be revealed until formal charges are laid. - Southgate Chair suggests caution when inviting guests to stay for a closed meeting as they are not restricted to confidentiality. - Matter of One Board – One Vote – decision made … let’s put this matter behind us and move forward

DECEMBER 2008 DIRECTORS’ UPDATE FOR ZONE MEETINGS
The following provides a high level overview of the recent and planned activities for your Association.
Meeting with Minister Bartolucci
On November 19th, OAPSB’s Executive Committee had an excellent meeting with the Minister and his senior staff that covered a range of priority issues for association members. Throughout the meeting, the Minister reinforced the importance of OAPSB and PSBs as “an equal partner” in addressing policing issues in the province. As just one example of “OAPSB’s advocacy in action” he credited the Association for presenting him with the evidence and compelling reasons to increase funding to the RIDE program.
Topics addressed included court security, suspension without pay, special constables, pawnbrokers legislation, the police costing formula, and the appeals process. A brief discussion of OAPSB’s 2008 resolutions concluded the meeting.
The Minister acknowledged the need to ensure that OAPSB and its members are informed on decisions and initiatives on a timely basis, and should be included in any announcements as these occur. In particular, the Minister committed to providing an automatic briefing to OAPSB on new costing formulas when these are released.
Minister Bartolucci confirmed that he will attend the 2009 Annual Conference and provide an opening address to the membership (see below).
Section 10 OAPSB/OPP Working Group:
The Working Group met on November 20 to address a range of ongoing issues of importance to Section 10 Boards. The OPP Costing Formula was presented by Bert McDonald. OAPSB’s concerns with the delay in releasing the formula were discussed, and the Minister’s commitment to inform OAPSB of new formulas in a more timely way, was noted.
Other items discussed included looking at the potential of including GPS in patrol cars, guidelines for performance evaluation of the Detachment Commander, ideas for Section 10 sessions at the Annual Conference, and feedback on the Labour Relations Seminar.
The next meeting of the Working Group will be held February 19, 2009.
Policing Standards Advisory Committee:
The PSAC group met on October 30. The agenda covered a broad range of topics including an overview of the MCSCS strategic plan, updates on going initiatives including cross-border policing, body armour guidelines, and the conducted energy weapons working group to name a few. It was confirmed that the police costing guide will be updated. OAPSB representatives are involved in all of the working groups established to deal with the individual issues. 1

Board of Directors Meeting
The Board met in Brampton, on November 20. The agenda included review and approval of the association budget for 2009, conference program suggestions and reports on policing issues of importance to the membership.
The Board accepted the resignation of Christina Bisanz as Executive Director, effective December 31, 2008. Christina has been offered the lead on a special project in the healthcare industry, and tendered her resignation with regret. The Board has developed a plan to conduct a search for a new Executive Director.
Member Services and Communications:
Program planning for the 47th Annual Conference “Policing: The Art of Navigating Challenging Rivers” is well underway. As noted above, the Honourable Rick Bartolucci, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) will address the delegates at the opening luncheon.
The conference is being held April 30 – May 2, 2009 at the NAV Centre in Cornwall. Accommodation information is available on the OAPSB website, and complete conference and registration information will be available in early January.
Program highlights include: • Keynote speaker Dr. Linda Duxbury, Carleton University will address managing a workforce with generational differences; • MCSCS Assistant Deputy Minister Glenn Murray and key members of his staff will lead a “bear pit” discussion fielding questions from the membership; • Chief Daniel Parkinson will highlight successful initiatives for reducing community crime; • Senior policing experts will discuss a range of topics of interest to PSBs, including cross- border and jurisdictional policing challenges, guns, drugs and gangs, emerging technologies to name a few; • PSB training on board governance, communications and advocacy.
Invited speakers include: OPP Commissioner Julian Fantino, and other federal and provincial cabinet ministers in Ministries of interest to policing services.
Over 115 delegates attended this year’s Labour Relations Seminar in Richmond Hill. Evaluation of the seminar was highly positive, with many delegates noting the value of hearing first-hand experiences of senior police leaders and experts. The 2009 Seminar will be held once again, at the Sheraton Hotel in Richmond Hill, October 22- 23.

Today's Date March 16, 2009
Celebrating Police Week, May 10-16, 2009 Fri, February 27, 2009
Plans for celebrating Police Week are already underway at many Ontario police services. This annual event is dedicated to the promotion of crime prevention, recognition, and awareness of policing across the province.
Since 1970, Police Week has been observed in May to coincide with Peace Officers Memorial Day, recognized internationally on May 15. Police Week is scheduled for a full week containing May 15, beginning with a Sunday and ending on a Saturday. This year, Police Week will take place from May 10- 16.
Under the theme Policing Possibilities: Inspiration for the Future, police services and their Boards are encouraged to commemorate this special week through a variety of activities within their communities. Recognizing the professional, sacrifice, and dedication of all police personnel in Ontario honours the work of our people day and inspires us to look forward to a positive policing future.
The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services provides access to a Media Relations plan to assist Ontario police services during Police Week. This plan is available through the OACP’s website at www.oacp.on.ca.
The Ministry will also provide a Police Week poster as well as products circulated during last year’s Police and Crime Prevention Weeks. Please contact Sandra Williams at 416-212-1888 if your service would like to request such products.
The OACP encourages all our member services to mark Police Week within their communities. We invite services to share what they are doing with our office so that we can highlight the many positive events and activities planned for Police week. Please contact Joe Couto at [email protected] with your service’s events.

2009-02 FEDERAL FUNDING – 2500 POLICE OFFICERS
FROM: REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL POLICE SERVICES BOARD
WHEREAS during the 2006 federal election campaign, the federal Conservative Party of Canada committed to sustainable funding for the hire of 2,500 new municipal police officers, recognizing the need for additional front line police resources in communities across Canada;
AND WHEREAS once elected, the federal Conservative Party, as part of its 2008 federal budget, committee $400 million in a trust fund for five years to fulfill its commitment;
AND WHEREAS it is well recognized by the police community, and by the federal government itself, that this does not meet the commitment made in 2006, an example being funding provided for the Peel Regional Police for the hire of 13 additional police officers for a five year period only, with costs beyond that point to be borne by municipal taxpayers solely through an increase in property taxes;
AND WHEREAS police leaders recognize the need for additional police resources is even more vital and urgent in 2009, given the increase in violent crime, and as evidenced by recent statements made by the Prime Minister of Canada and the Minister of Public Safety in response to gang violence in the Vancouver area;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of Peel Police Services Board put forward a resolution to the Canadian Association of Police Boards, with endorsement sought by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, the Canadian Police Association and the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards, urging the federal government to fulfill its commitment made in 2006 for sustainable funding for the permanent hire of 2,500 additional municipal police officers.

2009-03 TAXABLE STATUS OF MUNICIPAL POLICE VEHICLES
FROM: REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL POLICE SERVICES BOARD
WHEREAS provincial police vehicles, fire service vehicles, and the repair and licensing of such vehicles is exempt from payment of provincial sales tax;
AND WHEREAS municipal police services are required to pay provincial sales tax and license fees for municipal police vehicles;
AND WHEREAS this is an inexplicable and unexplainable anomaly that penalizes municipal police services boards who are equally and directly engaged in the delivery of primary emergency services;
AND WHEREAS this issue has been raised repeatedly by various police organizations such as the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards and the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police since 2006;
AND WHEREAS if the provincial government had acted in 2006 to correct the situation and afforded the same tax treatment to municipal police services as provided the Ontario Provincial Police and fire services, it would have freed up millions of dollars for municipal police services to fund needed front line programs, the Peel Regional Police alone having an additional $1.2 million over that four year period;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of Peel Police Services Board request that the provincial government afford municipal police services the same tax treatment as provided the Ontario Provincial Police and fire services and exempt the purchase of municipal police vehicles, and the repair and licensing of such vehicles form the provincial sales tax;
AND FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of Peel Police Services Board seek the support of area members of provincial parliament; the Regional Council of Peel, the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards, and through the OAPSB, the support of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police and the Police Association of Ontario for this resolution.

2009-04 PROVINCIAL ANTI-VIOLENCE INTERVENTION STRATEGY (P.A.V.I.S). GRANT for 2009/2010
FROM: REGIONAL MUNICIPALITY OF PEEL POLICE SERVICES BOARD
WHEREAS the provincial government in 2006 committed $51 million to combat gun and gang violence;
AND WHEREAS based on a successful pilot project with the Toronto Police Service, the provincial government in 2007 expanded the program with a funding commitment of $6 million through the Provincial Anti-Violence Intervention Strategy to police services in the Greater Toronto area;
AND WHEREAS this program has been extremely successful, with the funding delivering tangible and meaningful results as evidenced by the Peel Regional Police, who with approximately $1 million in funding, resulting in a 78 total days of targeted enforcement over a 14 month period achieved the following:
• 560 criminal Code charges • 199 Provincial offences • 39 Warrants executed • 46 Weapons seized • Nine firearms seized • Four stolen cars recovered • 171 compliance checks on known gang members • And Considerable intelligence-gathering;
AND WHEREAS the provincial government has opted to expand this program on a ‘one-time’ basis across Ontario without the certainty of continued funding for those agencies already receiving P.A.V.I.S. funding, despite its proven success in suppressing gang and gun violence;
AND WHEREAS it is well recognized that a continuous, coordinated and targeted effort is required to combat the insidious effects of gang and gun violence, and P.A.V.I.S. is a proven, successful provincial government program that has served to make communities safer across the Greater Toronto area;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of Peel Police Services Board apply now for a P.A.V.I.S. grant or 2009/2010 in the amount previously provided to the Peel Regional Police in anticipation of a continuation or expansion of the P.A.V.I.S. program in the provincial government’s budget to be delivered in March 2009;
AND FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of Peel Police Services Board urge police services boards in the Greater Toronto Area to take similar action,, and that it

2009-05 POLICE RECORDS CHECKS
FROM: OAPSB ZONE 2 AND OTTAWA POLICE SERVICES BOARD
WHEREAS organizations that utilize volunteers have become increasingly concerned with risk and unwilling to accept background checks done for work with previous organizations even a year earlier;
AND WHEREAS the nature of volunteer work has shifted from volunteers who stayed with the same organization for long periods of time to more episodic volunteering in which individuals volunteer for one-time only events and move frequently from one organization to another;
AND WHEREAS these trends have resulted in a significant increase in the volume of requests for records checks and unacceptable delays in processing them;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards strongly urge the Provincial Government to investigate the feasibility of:
1. Establishing province-wide standards for the information considered relevant and subject to disclosure in response to a request for a police records check, which will also set the standard for databanks to be searched and how far back searches should go;
2. Establishing a province-wide standard Form for requesting police records checks, which will set the standard as to what information and documents have to be provided when requesting a police records check;
3. Establishing a province-wide process and/or databank through which volunteer applicants can be checked, similar to the fingerprint-based security clearance process.

WHEREAS it has been estimated in a report issued by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (see Towards Equity and Efficiency in Policing Released May 29th, 2008) that Provincial police forces spend between 10-30% of their time enforcing federal laws for which they are not compensated;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the OAPSB Zone 2 recommends that the OAPSB support making a request to the Government of Canada immediately to address this issue by compensating Municipal Governments for all their associated costs resulting from the enforcement of Federal laws.

2009-07 FORFEITED OFFENCE-RELATED PROPERTY/PROCEEDS OF CRIME/CIVIL REMEDIES FOR ILLICIT ACTIVITIES
FROM: REGIONAL MUNICIPAL OF YORK POLICE SERVICES BOARDS
WHEREAS the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board recognizes that criminal organizations perpetrate crimes largely for financial gain, and that Proceeds of Crime, Offence- Related Property and Civil Remedies for Illicit Activities legislation provides policing organizations with effective tools to disrupt and combat organized crime; and
WHEREAS the seizure and subsequent forfeiture of offence-related property and proceeds of crime is an effective means of disrupting organized crime, limiting the profits associated to criminal acts and discouraging recidivist impaired drivers from re-offending; and
WHEREAS the enhancement of police resources to apply asset forfeiture legislation will reduce crime, increase returns to the government, and ultimately make our communities safer; and
WHEREAS the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board supports the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police positions with respect to the use of forfeited asset;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board call upon the Government of Ontario to provide appropriate annual funding from the Province’s Proceeds of Crime Fund that will ensure the ongoing development of asset forfeiture amongst Ontario police services;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board calls upon the Federal Government to amend the Forfeited Property Sharing Regulations to include a cost recovery component to local jurisdictions or municipalities;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board calls upon the Federal Government to revisit the Provincial Memoranda of Understanding to incorporate a cost recovery clause mandating reimbursement of costs to local jurisdictions or municipalities;
AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Regional Municipality of York Police Services Board calls upon the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards and the Canadian Association of Police Boards to express their support of this resolution.

AND WHEREAS the West Perth Police Services Board desires to maintain the highest possible quality of police services for our citizens;
AND WHEREAS the West Perth Police Services Board has some concerns regarding the level of sentencing at the Ontario Court of Justice, the Superior Court of Justice and the Court of Appeal that it does not reflect the wishes of the community and can, in some cases, be counterproductive to the work of the personnel of the Ontario Police Services;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the West Perth Police Services Board petition the Ministry of the Attorney General to review the system of sentencing of the Province’s Court System to work together with the Ontario Police Services as they try to maintain adequate and effective police services in their communities;
