OPP Monthly Report Inspector Glenn Miller provided a summary of the OPP Report for November and December 2020, and noted the following: • The OPP appreciates the significant contribution of Town employees in enforcement of provincial statutes as they relate to the COVID-19 pandemic. • Today is a national day of action against lockdowns. Most area businesses and residents are abiding by provincial orders. • COVID-19 vaccine distribution has started in Ontario and locally. The OPP are involved to ensure the vaccines all arrive safely at their destination. • There were 84 reported cases of cyber crime over the past year. Residents are urged to remain vigilant in practicing internet safety. • High rates of opioid overdoses continue to occur. Citizens are encouraged to call 911 immediately under the Good Samaritan Act in such a situation. • All traffic complaints from residents are being logged in the system for more effective follow up. • The Mental Health Response Unit is responding to high levels of calls as the pandemic progresses. • Action by Tecumseh brought the issue of high rates of 911 misdials to provincial attention, resulting in a different system to deal with them. The new approach will result in cost savings as well as ensuring officers are available to deal with issues in the community. Chair Hales inquired if the Essex County OPP have been in discussions with the Caldwell First Nation, in light of the requirement for detachment boards under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019. Inspector Miller confirmed that discussions have been taking place and Caldwell FN is interested in contracting

7 Police Services Board Minutes, February 11, 2021, 4:30 pm Page 6

CAO Marg Misek-Evans explained that the original deadline for municipalities to prepare and adopt a Community Safety and Well-Being Plan was January 1, 2021. As a result of the pandemic, in April 2020, the deadline was extended to an undetermined date. The new deadline of July 1, 2021 was recently announced by the province; however, as the planning process for the regional plan was based on an anticipated deadline of January 1, 2022, it has been decided that an interim report will be submitted to the Ministry by July 1 and the final plan adopted by January 2022. It is very likely that other municipalities in Ontario will take the same approach. The next step in the regional process is public consultations. Town Hall meetings have been scheduled for all municipalities (Saturday, February 27 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. for Tecumseh), and a public survey launched. In depth consultations with Councils and PSBs are being planned and will be held in April and May. Mayor McNamara noted that the planning process has been very comprehensive and complex to date, involving over 100 area groups and organizations, many of which have also been very occupied with addressing pandemic related issues in the community. Motion: PSB - 9/21 Moved by Member Marc Gomes Seconded by Vice-Chair Paul Sweet That report CAO-2021-04 titled "Community Safety and Well-Being Plan Update and Forthcoming Public Consultation Opportunities" and the associated verbal update by the Chief Administrative Officer be received. Carried

M. New Business 1. Annual Performance Review - OPP Inspector Chair Hales explained that, as a result of disruption caused by the COVID- 19 pandemic in 2020, the 2019 Performance Review for the Inspector was not finalized and submitted. He will work with the Recording Secretary and members to complete and submit the 2020 Annual Performance Review, as required by the Police Services Act. 2. Other New Business a. Caldwell First Nation Chair Hales requested Inspector Glenn Miller provide contact information for the Band Council Leader of Caldwell First Nation for the purpose of inviting their participation in a future board meeting.

62 Ontario Association of Police Services Boards On-Line Meeting Format Zone 6 Meeting

March 24, 2021

NOTES ARISING FROM MEETING

The meeting was held using the Webex electronic format.

Darlene Smith, Chairperson Chatham/Kent PSB chaired the meeting with the assistance of Jim Maudsley, Southwestern Region, Section 10 representative.

Darlene called the meeting to order and after a roll call, the approval of the agenda and the approval of the minutes of our last meeting of November 25, 2020, she invited our guest speaker to deliver a message to the assembly.

Election of Board Representative

Pat Weaver was re-elected as our Zone 6 Section 10 representative to our OAPSB Board.

Constable Ed Rota, Chatham/Kent Police Service

The presentation outlines the services provided by the Chatham/Kent Crisis Response Team. The mental health initiative in C/K is very similar to that of the OPP here in Essex County. C/K currently has two teams in the field with a police officer and a nurse, mental health professional. These teams work collaboratively with the C/K patrol services, court services as well as proactive services to people in mental health crisis. They are a plain clothes service as a method of easing the potential volatility of any street encounter. The mental health professional does all the assessment work and provides a smooth transition through the hospital admitting process should that be deemed necessary. This service is integrated with the Chatham/Kent Health Alliance hospital which has a staff of 1,350 including 125 doctors. The C/K police service has a uniformed staff of 165 with 63 civilian staff.

OAPSB President Report

Pat Weaver provided the meeting with an overview of the recent actions by the OAPSB Board. There have been extensive consultations between our board and the Solicitor General’s staff with respect to the content of the Regulations to the new Act. Pat reported that our board wants the mandate to conduct the training required under the new Act. There is considerable competition including universities.

1 63 Secretary-Treasurer’s Report

Julie Gonyou, Secretary-Treasurer, reported that Zone 6 currently has a bank balance of $2,299.00 and that 2021 dues are arriving. A motion was made and passed to provide a $500.00 sponsorship to the OAPSB AGM and Spring Conference in the name of Zone 6.

Reports and Correspondence

Jim Maudsley led a discussion of the letter dated March 17, 2021 from the Solicitor General mandating the creation of detachment based PSBs by January 31, 2022. Essentially this time line is frightfully tight and there seems to be a varying degree of awareness of the urgency of this requirement. Local PSBs are urged to forge ahead while our OAPSB board engages our Solicitor General to try and adjust these due dates. Mayor Gary McNamara spoke at length about the true meaning of this process and all it entails. I feel that it left many of the delegates with a much clearer understanding of the enormity of the undertaking.

Jim Maudsley will encourage our board to work hard at educating the SG. Mayor McNamara will work through AMO to also bring this message home.

New Business

There was no new business.

REPORT TO OAPSB ZONE 6

FROM: Julie Gonyou, Zone 6 Secretary-Treasurer

DATE: February 28, 2021

SUBJECT: Treasurer’s 2020 Year End Report and Treasurer’s Report as of February 28, 2021

Recommendations:

THAT the report titled “Treasurer’s 2020 Year End Report and Treasurer’s Report as of February 28, 2021” presented by the Zone 6 Secretary-Treasurer, dated February 28, 2021 be received and filed for information.

Purpose:

The purpose of this report is to detail the financial position of the OAPSB Zone 6. The 2020 Year End Report and the Treasurer’s Report as of February 28, 2021 are attached.

Background:

As a result of a change in Secretary-Treasurer for Zone 6, a number of files were transferred from the Strathroy- Caradoc Police Services Board to the Secretary-Administrator of the Elgin Group Police Services Board. As directed by the OAPSB Zone 6, the Secretary-Administrator requested that all outstanding OAPSB Zone 6 funds held by Strathroy-Caradoc be transferred to the Corporation of the County of Elgin. Strathroy-Caradoc has since transferred residual funds in the amount of $1,332.99 to the County of Elgin.

The Year End Report for 2020 reflects a balance of $2,244.08 inclusive of the funds transferred from Strathroy- Caradoc and 2020 membership fees paid by Zone 6 Police Services Boards.

As of February 28, 2021, the financial statement reflects a balance of $2,299.08 inclusive of the 2020 balance forward and 2021 membership fees paid by Zone 6 Police Services Boards.

Conclusion:

Complete reports detailing the OAPSB Zone 6 finances will be presented at all subsequent Zone 6 meetings.

Proposing Resolutions for the Annual General Meeting (AGM)

What are AGM Resolutions?

AGM Resolutions are the decisions made by members at an AGM, which direct the OAPSB Board of Directors. Generally speaking, resolutions address either:

• Members’ advocacy interests (such as proposed legislative changes); or

• Internal Association matters (like By-law changes).

How do I Propose a Resolution?

1. A member board or zone (or the OAPSB Board of Directors) may propose a resolution electronically in WORD format, complete with any relevant background information, to the OAPSB office by the posted deadline (if any) for an AGM.

2. OAPSB staff collate all proposed resolutions, and provide them to every AGM delegate prior to the AGM.

3. When called upon during the AGM, the originator introduces the proposed resolution. Following discussion, voting delegates are called upon to vote for or against the proposed resolution.

4. The OAPSB Board of Directors acts upon all resolutions that are carried at the AGM.

How do I Prepare a Proposed Resolution?

A good resolution addresses three questions:

A. What is the problem?

B. What is causing the problem?

C. What is the best way to solve the problem?

1/2

All resolutions contain a preamble and an operative clause. The preamble describes the issue, and the operative clause outlines the action being requested.

The Preamble The preamble starts with a recital, “WHEREAS” clause. Each clause is a separate but concise paragraph describing the problem and/or reason corrective action is being requested. Ideally the preamble does not contain more than four “WHEREAS” clauses.

The Operative Clause The operative clause begins with the words “THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED”. This clause should be as short as possible, clearly describe the corrective action being requested to solve the problem identified in the preamble, and identify the agency that is being asked to implement the proposed solution.

The clearer the solution is stated in the operative clause, and the better that the preamble describes the problem that needs fixing, the more likely that the resolution will be understood and acted upon in a meaningful way.

Identification The proposed resolution also needs:

• a title that describes the topic and/or the proposed solution • the name of the member board or zone that is proposing the resolution

This allows the AGM Chair to call identify the proposed resolution to the members present, and to request the proposing board/zone to introduce the proposal to those members.

Some Keys to Successful Resolutions:

• The language of the resolution should be simple, action-oriented and easily understood

• Each resolution should address only one specific subject

• Resolutions should be accompanied by supporting facts/evidence

• Resolutions should be properly titled

• Resolutions should deal with issues relevant to police service boards

MEMORANDUM TO: All Chiefs of Police and Commissioner Thomas Carrique Chairs, Police Services Boards

FROM: Richard Stubbings Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division

SUBJECT: Phase 1 COVID-19 Vaccinations for Frontline Police Officers

DATE OF ISSUE: February 26, 2021 CLASSIFICATION: General Information RETENTION: Indefinite INDEX NO.: 21-0023 PRIORITY: Normal

I am writing to provide an update on Ontario’s phased vaccination plan and prioritization as it relates to first responders.

Phase 1 of the province’s vaccination roll-out includes front-line personnel who provide direct health care services including response to triaged medical emergency calls where there is an increased risk of exposure to COVID-19. This includes paramedics, front-line police officers, and fire fighters who respond to medical calls for service and provide emergency assistance such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the administration of Naloxone.

For clarity, only active duty front-line police officers who as part of their duties regularly provide emergency medical care are included in Phase 1. Police services personnel who do not respond to medical calls for service as part of their routine duties do not qualify under Phase 1.

Examples of staff that do not qualify for Phase 1 include, but are not limited to, those in investigative units and functions and back-office staff such as researchers and administrators.

.../2 84 -2-

At this time, chiefs of police and the Commissioner are encouraged to reach out to their local Public Health Unit(s) to discuss the vaccination approach, including informing them of eligible staff that require vaccines for Phase 1 only and potential timing. A list of all 34 local Public Health Units and their respective medical officers of health are included in an appendix to this memo.

Due to the current limited supply of vaccines, this phased prioritization framework will allow the most vulnerable members of our communities to be vaccinated first. Police service staff that do not belong in Phase 1 will get vaccines in Phase 2 because they are deemed essential workers.

I can assure you that the Ministry of the Solicitor General remains on the forefront of planning related to vaccine supply and administration, and we will continue to emphasize the prioritization of the health and safety of our first responders.

Thank you for your sustained efforts to keep our communities safe and for continuing to emphasize the health and safety of front-line police personnel.

Sincerely,

Richard Stubbings Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division

MEMORANDUM TO: All Chiefs of Police and Commissioner Thomas Carrique Chairs, Police Services Boards

FROM: Richard Stubbings Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division

SUBJECT: New COVID Border Testing Orders under the Quarantine Act

DATE OF ISSUE: March 11, 2021 CLASSIFICATION: General Information RETENTION: Indefinite INDEX NO.: 21-0030 PRIORITY: High

I am writing to share information provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) about new orders under the Quarantine Act (QA) related to land and air border testing and enhanced requirements for travelers.

As the lead agency for this initiative, PHAC has provided information on the new federally-led border regime, and below is a summary of changes that may have bearing on local police services of jurisdiction.

Border Measures – Land and Air The QA currently restricts entry into Canada and outlines certain conditions for persons entering Canada at border crossings, including requiring individuals returning from travelling abroad to self-isolate for 14 days upon return to Canada, subject to certain exemptions.

The QA also directs travellers entering Canada to comply with a number of pre-arrival and on-arrival requirements, subject to certain exemptions, which came in effect on February 14, 2021 until April 21, 2021 unless further extended. For travellers arriving in Canada via an international flight, this includes a requirement to submit to a COVID-19 test upon arrival and then check in to a government-approved hotel until test results are received (usually within a period of up to 72 hours).

.../2

87 -2-

For travellers arriving via a land border crossing, all non-essential travellers five years of age and over will be required to provide: • Proof of a negative result for COVID-19 molecular test that was performed in the United States on a specimen collected no more than 72 hours before entering Canada

Foreign nationals without a valid test result will be denied entry. Canadians and others with right of entry would be allowed entry but may be subject to fines or directed to a designated quarantine facility.

Travellers entering Canada at the land border will also be required to take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival (i.e., Day 1) as well as toward the end of their 14-day quarantine (i.e., Day 10). COVID-19 self-swab test kits (two per person) will be distributed at all land ports of entry (POEs), and testing (i.e., observed self-swab collection) will be established at the following Ontario POEs by March 4, 2021:

• Queenston-Lewiston Bridge • Ambassador Bridge • Fort Erie (Peace Bridge) • Windsor-Detroit Tunnel • Sarnia (Blue Water Bridge) • Rainbow Bridge • Lansdowne (Thousand Islands Bridge)

Enforcement Approach PHAC is implementing a graduated enforcement approach focusing on public education prior to issuing tickets for non-compliance. PHAC-designated Quarantine Officers may provide Ontario police officers with the information required to issue a Part 1 Certificate Offence or Part III Summons, but police officers retain the ability to apply discretion.

PHAC Officers are expected to be the primary witness and source of grounds for all charges laid under the QA. Enhanced fine amounts are now in effect for breaches of the QA pursuant to the Contraventions Act. Please refer to the attached PHAC resource document—developed for enforcement personnel—for additional information related to roles and authorities, as well as short form wordings and set fine amounts.

PHAC Officers may also request a peace officer to arrest without warrant a traveller who is not complying with the provisions of the QA, including for the purpose of bringing the traveller to a designated quarantine facility; however, discretion should still be applied prior to making any arrest, including consideration of clear risks to the safety of the individual or the public. Prior to arresting an individual under the QA, police must consider that government-approved quarantine hotels and designated quarantine facilities are not secure premises, and reliance is placed on the good will of the travellers to respect their legal obligation to remain within the facility.

.../3

88 -3-

We will continue to share new information about land and air border restrictions as they evolve. The attached PHAC guidance document provides helpful links to updated information and resources to support enforcement personnel.

Thank you once again for your continued efforts to help keep our communities safe and healthy.

Sincerely,

Richard Stubbings Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division

SUBJECT: 2021 COVID-19 Relief Funding for Municipalities

DATE OF ISSUE: March 12, 2021 CLASSIFICATION: General Information RETENTION: Indefinite INDEX NO.: 21-0034 PRIORITY: Normal

I am writing to advise you of additional provincial funding for municipalities to ensure the delivery of critical services and enable capital projects to stay on track in light of COVID- 19.

On March 4, 2021, the Ontario government announced that it is providing an additional $500 million through the 2021 Provincial COVID-19 Relief Funding for Municipalities program. The program is intended to help municipalities respond to ongoing and unprecedented 2021 COVID-19 operating pressures.

All 444 municipalities in Ontario are eligible for this program. The level of funding is based on a combination of a base amount using Municipal Property Assessment Corporation household data and an amount based on the proportion of provincial COVID-19 cases (from January 1, 2021 to February 18, 2021) in the municipality's respective Public Health Unit.

Municipalities have the flexibility to use this funding to address the specific priorities of their communities based on their unique COVID-19 related operating pressures. Examples may include, but are not limited to, personal protective equipment purchases, overtime incurred due to providing emergency response and frontline services as a result of the pandemic, and purchases required to do remote work.

.../2 90 -2-

Police services are encouraged to consult with their respective municipalities to identify critical COVID-19 related operating pressures for policing that can be addressed through this funding initiative.

Once again, thank you for your continued efforts to help keep our communities safe and healthy.

Sincerely,

Richard Stubbings Assistant Deputy Minister Public Safety Division

Dear Heads of Council and First Nations Chiefs:

I am writing to provide you with an update on the new Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) detachment boards under the Community Safety and Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA).

As you may remember, in February 2020, the Ministry of the Solicitor General conducted seven regional roundtable sessions across the province. Discussions at these sessions focused on new OPP-related regulatory requirements under the CSPA. Municipalities and First Nation communities receiving policing services from the OPP were invited to learn more about new OPP-related legislative and regulatory requirements and provide the ministry with feedback to inform the development of related regulatory proposals. In addition, we heard from many of you through various letters and engagement opportunities, including meetings with the Association of Municipalities of Ontario MOU Table and Rural Ontario Municipal Association about what you would like your new OPP detachment board to look like.

In response to your feedback, an OPP detachment board framework has been developed that we hope will provide municipalities and First Nation communities receiving direct and/or supplemental services from the OPP the flexibility to create a board that reflects your community and local needs.

Under this framework, municipalities and First Nation communities receiving direct and/or supplemental services from an OPP detachment are being asked to submit one proposal (per detachment) indicating the composition of their board and, if needed, a rationale for multiple boards and the composition of each additional board.

Municipalities and First Nations within a detachment are asked to work together to determine the composition of their board(s) as well as the manner in which they will submit their proposal to the ministry. For example, after determining the composition of the detachment board(s), municipalities and First Nations within a detachment area may select one municipality or First Nation to complete and submit the proposal.

../2

92 Dear Heads of Council and First Nations Chiefs Page 2

Proposals must meet base requirements set by the ministry, which include a minimum number of five members per board and a requirement that each board should be composed of 20% community representatives and 20% provincial appointees. To that end, municipalities and First Nations are not required at this time to identify the names of the individuals that will be participating on the detachment board. Rather, you are only asked to identify the number of seats each municipality and First Nation will be allocated on the detachment board as well as the number of community representatives and provincial appointments.

To streamline and support the proposal process, the ministry has developed a digital form that can be accessed using the link included here.

The ministry will work with municipalities and First Nations to obtain outstanding information/proposals and support you in submitting a completed proposal. If, however, a proposal still does not meet the minimum requirements, or a proposal is not submitted and/or if no consensus is reached on the composition of the board then the ministry will determine the composition of the detachment board.

Completed proposals are to be submitted to the ministry by Monday, June 7, 2021.

We recognize the significant implications that the current COVID-19 emergency has had on municipalities and First Nations across the province. To this end, in addition to the written supporting material attached here, we are also pleased to work with you directly through virtual information sessions.

If you have questions related to OPP detachment boards under the CSPA, please contact Sarah Caldwell, Director of Community Safety and Intergovernmental Policy, at [email protected]. If you have questions about the proposal process or would be interested in a virtual information session, please contact Joanna Reading, Senior Policy Advisor, at [email protected]

Sincerely,

Sylvia Jones Solicitor General

93 OPP DETACHMENT BOARD PROPOSAL PROCESS QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q1: What are the key differences between the section 10 board framework under the Police Services Act (1990) (PSA) and OPP detachment board framework under the Community Safety Policing Act, 2019 (CSPA)?

A1: • The OPP currently polices 326 municipalities. Of these, only those under a section 10 agreement have access to civilian governance. This means there are 178 municipalities that do not participate on a board and as a result do not have access to civilian governance. • Under the CSPA, all municipalities receiving OPP policing services will have the opportunity to participate on an OPP detachment board. • In terms of the roles and responsibilities of board members, the role of OPP detachment boards will include additional responsibilities not required for section 10 boards under the PSA (1990) such as: o considering any community safety and well-being plan adopted by a municipality that receives policing from the detachment; o establishing local policies, in consultation with the detachment commander, with respect to policing in the area receiving policing from the detachment; and o ensuring local action plans prepared by the detachment commander address the objectives and priorities determined by the board. • Under the CSPA, OPP detachment board members will be required to: o consult with the OPP Commissioner on the selection of a detachment commander; o monitor the performance of the detachment commander; and o provide an annual report to the municipalities and band councils served by the OPP. • OPP detachment boards will also provide a venue for the municipalities and First Nations within a detachment area to coordinate and collaborate on strategies to address common issues that is not present under the PSA.

Q2: What does the transition to the new OPP detachment board framework mean for municipalities and First Nations currently receiving policing services by the OPP?

A2: • Until the Act comes into force, the ministry will continue to renew section 10 agreements that are set to expire in 2021. • However once the CSPA comes into force all existing section 10 agreements will be terminated, and Section 10 boards will be dissolved. • To do this, the ministry is committed to providing sufficient time and adequate supports to municipalities currently participating on a Section 10 board or, in the case of municipalities that receive OPP policing without a formal agreement/contract (i.e. Section 5.1 municipality), a Community Policing Advisory Committees (CPAC) as they dissolve their current board structures and transition to the new OPP detachment board model.

Q3: When will the CSPA come into force?

A3: • The ministry is working towards the act being proclaimed in early 2022.

Q4: Which municipalities and First Nations are included in the OPP detachment board framework?

A4: • The OPP detachment board framework provides civilian governance to the municipalities and First Nations receiving policing from OPP detachments. • More specifically, the framework includes 326 municipalities currently policed by the OPP. • The First Nations included in this framework include the 43 First Nations that: o are directly policed by the OPP (i.e., zone policing without a funding agreement); o employ their own First Nations Constables but receive administrative support from the OPP (i.e., “OPP- Administered” policing under the Federal First Nations Policing Program (FNPP)); and o receive “OPP-Dedicated” policing (i.e. Stream Two agreements under the FNPP).

Q5: What role will municipalities and First Nations have with respect to the OPP Detachment Board proposal process?

A5: • Municipalities and First Nations in each OPP detachment area will be required to submit one proposal indicating the composition of their board and the rationale for multiple boards and the composition of each additional board, if multiple boards are being recommended.. • The ministry will only accept one proposal per detachment. • Municipalities and First Nations within a detachment will be required to work together and determine the approach for developing and submitting their proposal to the ministry. o For example, after determining the composition of the detachment board(s), the municipalities and First Nations within a detachment may select one municipality or First Nation to complete and submit the proposal.

94 OPP DETACHMENT BOARD PROPOSAL PROCESS QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Q6: What information is the ministry requesting in the proposal form?

A6: • Municipalities and First Nations within a detachment area will be required to submit a proposal indicating the composition of their board(s). • Municipalities and First Nations will not be required to identify the names of the individuals that will be participating on the detachment board. Rather, they will be required to identify the number of seats each municipality and First Nation will be allocated on the detachment board as well as the number of community representatives and provincial appointments. • If a municipality and/or First Nation chooses not to participate on a detachment board and forfeits their seat, they will be required to indicate this in the proposal.

Q7: Factors to consider when requesting more than one detachment board.

A7: • The CSPA allows an OPP detachment to establish one, or more than one, OPP detachment board. • Detachments that are considering requesting more than one detachment board should consider factors such as: o Geography (e.g. distance between municipalities and First Nations); o Variations in population size and; o The number of municipalities and First Nations within an OPP detachment; and o Service demands (e.g. calls for service). • However, if proposing more than one OPP detachment board, municipalities and First Nations should also consider challenges associated with recruiting board members (e.g. inability to fill vacancies) and the costs associated with operating additional boards.

Q8: Will municipalities/First Nations that are receiving policing and/or supports and services by two OPP detachments be allowed to participate on both OPP detachment boards?

A8:

• Yes. Municipalities and First Nations that are receiving policing and/or supports and services by two OPP detachments can participate on both OPP detachment boards, or can choose to participate on only one OPP detachment board. • Representation must be determined in collaboration with the other municipalities and First Nations within the OPP detachment, as a consensus on the composition of the OPP detachment board is required. • Municipalities that wish to be represented on both OPP detachment boards will be required to cover the costs associated with participating on two boards (i.e. operational costs).

Q9: What is considered a “completed” proposal?

A9: • Each detachment will be required to complete one proposal using the digital form provided by the ministry. The link to the digital form can be found here: Ontario Provincial Police Board (OPP) Proposal Form. • A completed proposal must be submitted using the digital form provided by the ministry and meet the minimum composition requirements provided by the ministry. • The ministry will work with each detachment to obtain outstanding information/proposals and support them in submitting a completed proposal. • If however in the end if a proposal does not meet the minimum requirements set by the ministry or a proposal is not submitted, and/or if a detachment is unable to come to a consensus, the ministry will determine the composition of the detachment board.

Q10: What support will the ministry provide municipalities and First Nations throughout the OPP detachment board proposal process?

A10: • Virtual information sessions, led by the ministry, will be made available upon request for municipalities and First Nation communities to address outstanding questions and clarify concerns related to the proposal requirements and process. • If your detachment is interested in a virtual information session, or have other inquiries related to the OPP detachment board proposal process, please forward your request to the ministry to Joanna Reading via email at [email protected].

Q11: What is the purpose of provincial appointments on OPP Detachment Boards?

A11: • Provincial appointees will provide advice to the board as public representatives whose appointments are independent of municipal/band councils. • However, to ensure members of the detachment board are reflective of the communities they serve, the municipalities/First Nation Chief and Councils will have the ability to nominate individuals for consideration as provincial appointees.

Q12: Will the government address the current backlog in provincial appointments?

A12: • We know there are concerns related to the number of vacant provincial appointments and the length of time these appointments remain unfilled. • We have made significant progress in reducing the backlog of provincial appointments. Since our government took office in 2018, we have filled approximately 124 provincial appointment vacancies on section 10 boards. • We will continue to work with municipalities and First Nations to ensure provincial appointees are recruited and appointed in a timely manner.

Q13: Why are First Nations with Self-Administered Police Services not included in the OPP detachment board framework?

A13: • First Nations that receive policing from a Self-Administered First Nation Police Service (SA FNPS) are not included in the OPP detachment board framework as they are already represented on boards and/or have their own police governing authorities. In addition, SA FNPS boards have existing relationships and alternate methods to communicate their input to the OPP with respect to supports and services the OPP provides to their communities.

Q14: Are there other civilian governance options for First Nation communities that are captured within the OPP detachment board framework?

A14: • As an alternative to participating on an OPP Detachment board, under the CSPA First Nations have the option to request to form a First Nation OPP Board. • Where a First Nation or multiple First Nations has entered into an agreement with the Minister for the provision of policing and other specified services by the Commissioner, the First Nation(s) may request that the Minister constitute a First Nation OPP board. • A First Nation OPP board would perform similar functions and responsibilities as an OPP Detachment board by providing advice and oversight over the policing services provided by the OPP to a First Nation community or communities. o This includes determining objectives and priorities, supporting development of the strategic plan, and advising the Detachment Commander with respect to policing provided to a First Nation community or communities. o A First Nation OPP board could also establish local policies, in consultation with the OPP, with respect to the detachment’s provision of policing. • Please contact Ashley O’Connell, Indigenous Engagement Unit, Ministry of the Solicitor General at [email protected] for more information on requesting a First Nation OPP Board.
