- Business Planning 2011-2013 - CAS (Crime Abatement Strategies) - Intelligent Lead Policing - Safe Guard - 911/False Alarm reduction
It was noted that calls for service pertaining to B&E's, Thefts Over/Under and Theft from M/V are down from 2010.
Directed patrol hours (Vehicle; Foot; Bicycle; Snowmobile; Radar; School) at the request of the Town and the Board have increased in 2011.
False alarms and 911 calls (false/pocket dials) are on the rise and continue to take up valuable police resources. It was indicated that the OPP will be scheduled for an upcoming Council meeting as a means of informing the community of the rising issue.
Traffic Enforcement (POA tickets) is down due to the reallocation of staff which was previously dedicated solely to this enforcement area.
Page 4 of 6
Penetanguishene Police Services Board Page 15 of 244 - Minutes of the meeting of November 1, 2011 Auxiliary Policing hours dedicated to SGB Det. Area (Patrol Hours; Community Policing; Training Hours; Admin Hours; Court Hours; Emergency Events) is also down in 2011 as several of the existing members have obtained full-time employment with the OPP. The volunteer officers continue to participate and support community events.
The safe guard program is underway in Penetanguishene. The program offers additional assessment and support for victims of crime (B&E). It was suggested that a seminar be offered in the community (in partnership with neighbouring communities) to provide residents with measures that can be put into place to deter crime in their homes.
A question was raised pertaining to the number of false calls from Waypoint and what steps could be put into place to educate the Centre on reducing the number of calls to this facility.
The manner in which the provincial service usage credit was tracked was discussed and how the credit is established. The credit only applies when the officers leave the detachment areas as opposed to the Town specifically.
The Crime Abatement Strategy program which has been in effect for 10 months has been very successful and has resulted in numerous additional charges and enforcement of individuals under court ordered conditions that are not abiding with those orders.
In reference to a recent house fire in Town, the individual that alerted the family to the fire has been identified but has requested to remain anonymous. The recent fires at Le Caron are still under investigation with no arrests made to date. It is not known at this time if these fires are linked to those that occurred in the summer.
Action: For Information.
10. COMMUNITY RELATIONS
i) Crime Prevention Week November 6 to 12, 2011 It was noted that the Detachment has several activities planned for the week.

11. PUBLIC DISCUSSION It was suggested that the members of Council be invited to attend a tour of Headquarters and the Detachment in order to educate the members on the services provided by the OPP on both a local and regional level.

6. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
i) PSB Comments to the Finance and Corporate Services Section re: Police Services Review Process The Mayor indicated that he felt the Board should review the process undertaken for the Police Service Review. The need for this review is twofold, 1. lessons learned, 2. to share our experience with others undergoing a similar process.
The following comments were made in reference to the process:
Page 2 of 4
Penetanguishene Police Services Board Page 19 of 244 - Minutes of the meeting of November 29, 2011 - The Task Force that was established at the end of the process was really the group that should have conducted the review as in past contract reviews.
- The Board does not participate in contract negotiations but does have a role in service levels.
The C.A.O. left the meeting at 9:00 a.m.
- It was clarified that the Board functions under the Police Services Act as opposed to the Town policies.
- Formation of the ad hoc committee by Council was not intended to form quorum for the Board and was established in accordance with the Town's Procedural By-law, in accordance with Council resolution.
- The mandate of an ad hoc group does not conflict with the mandate of an existing Board as it is formed for a specific purpose to review and make recommendations.
- The term "proposal" should have been "expression of interest" to clarify requirements and application of the Town's Procurement By- law.
- There was a division in members of the Board, Ad hoc, Council leading to a perception that the decision was pre-determined.
- Initial thoughts of cost savings via staff wages should have been at the forefront of the review and established right away.
- Board members take an oath of office that they are required to adhere to in carrying out their duties.
- Terms of reference and voting provisions of ad hoc group need to be clarified from the beginning.
- Meetings should not be held directly following a public consultation so that there is time to consider and digest information.
- The process should have started with consultation at the Board level following the establishment of a Task Force.
- More time is required to ensure the review process is completed without the time constraints.
Page 3 of 4
Penetanguishene Police Services Board Page 20 of 244 - Minutes of the meeting of November 29, 2011 - Review process should not take place at the same time of Municipal or Provincial elections.

- Police Mandate - Future changes in format of report – there has been some discussion about what the receiver wants to see. CNCC numbers have never been broken out, and Waypoint and Town numbers have not been differentiated in previous formats. Currently the report shows current numbers, the stats from the year previous, and forecast for the following month, giving a full picture of where we’ve been, where we
3
Penetanguishene Police Services Board Page 24 of 244 - Notes from Unofficial Meeting of February 14, 2012 are and where we think we’re heading, but it is not broken out into specifics locations. There will be a conversation with the Chair, Inspector and Staff Sergeant regarding what will be in the report. - Continuous learning and development: 2 members were sent on the Highway Enforcements Techniques Course 1 member was sent to the Domestic Violence Investigators course 1 member on the provincial Liaison Team attended a conference 1 detective was sent on a Major Case Management course 1 member on one week provincial Marine Workshop 1 member on RMS (Niche) training 1 Emergency Response Team member to Ontario Police College for Facilitating and Assessing Police Learning - It was noted that calls for service pertaining to B&Es, Thefts Over/Under and Thefts from M/V are down from 2011. - Assaults, Mischief, Alarm Calls are up. - 911 calls are becoming a grave concern for police services all across the province 302 in 2011, compared 253 in 2010. - Violent Crime, Property Crime and Drug clearance rates have increased due to great local team effort, especially the Crime Abatement Strategy started in 2011. - Tickets are down to 801 in Penetanguishene compared to just over a thousand the year before. The decline is due to the loss of a part-time member who focused solely on traffic enforcement. - A new accountability framework will be coming into effect setting minimum expectations that will bring success. - Motor vehicle collisions, there was one more in 2011 versus 2010 with property damage, and there were 3 more personal injury related incidents compared to 2010. Penetanguishene’s MVCs are doing ok considering ever increasing traffic in town, especially in the summer months. Detachment MVCs are up slightly. With our new approach we are likely to see some positive results in 2012. - Auxiliary Program: Two members have been assigned to full time ranks. They are currently attending OPC. Recruitment process is in progress currently. A competition will take place in the near future for a new Auxiliary Staff Sergeant. - Waterway Policing: No fatalities, 1 property damage and 1 personal injury – considering the large area policed. This area has more water than roads to cover. The educational and warning components are in effect. New concerted approach where all members are have consistent enforcing. - Snowmobile Patrolling – 1 fatality, 4 collisions. 352 hours of operating time, almost 770 vehicles checked which resulted in 53 charges being laid.

7. BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
i) Update on the status of the contract. The information provided by Mayor Marshall indicates that the Town received a copy of the contract from the Legal Services Branch of the Ministry and that the signing will take place on February 29, 2012.
Action: For information.
8. OTHER BUSINESS
i) Review of Legislated Authorities/Duties of the Board. The oversight of Ontario's police services by civilian boards ensures that police services operate at arm's length from their respective municipal councils. This arrangement is mandated by law under the Police Services Act.
There is a need to promote understanding and education to better work together as a team. It was noted that communication and transparency could be improved moving forward.
Action: For discussion.
5
Penetanguishene Police Services Board Page 26 of 244 - Notes from Unofficial Meeting of February 14, 2012 ii) Improved reporting mechanisms, Council education, and working relationship between the Board/FCS and Council
- Improved reporting mechanisms: It was noted that communications with the Detachment Commander are done through the PSB Chair, or approved by the PSB Chair. Direct communications between members of Council on the PSB and the Detachment Commander must be clarified if they are done for lobbying, high cost of policing or information purposes, and not on behalf of the PSB versus their individual roles on Council.
- Relationship between the Board/FCS and Council: It has been suggested by Council at the meeting on January 25th, 2012, that the OPP provide financial reporting to the Finance and Corporate Services Section. As the Police Services Board is the legislated reporting mechanism as set out by the PSA to receive such reports, any increased financial reporting would need to be discussed, agreed upon and be presented to the PSB. Town policy indicates the reports would then be forwarded to Finance and Corporate, and ultimately to Council as required. Reporting directly to Finance and Corporate is not advised as it does not follow the hierarchical reporting set by provincial statute which takes precedence over a municipal bylaw or regulation.
- Council education: There are options available through the OAPSB for e- learning. These options will be included in an information package to Council. In addition, it was recommended at the November 1, 2011 meeting that all Council members be invited to tour the OPP Headquarters and Detachment to educate members on the services provided by the OPP on both the local and regional level. A letter will be sent with some dates.
THAT the Penetanguishene Police Services Board prepare and send a package of information and education material to members of Council and PSB to encourage understanding and working together to see to adequate and effective policing according to the mandate of the PSB in accordance with the provisions of the Police Services Act.
Moved by R. Robitaille and Seconded by S. St-Amant CARRIED
Action: For discussion. Tentative dates to be determined for a Council tour of headquarters. Increased reporting be included on the next agenda to determine potential reporting options.

Re: Town of Penetanguishene Police Service Review for 2012
Dear Lorne and Jacques;
As you are aware, the Town of Penetanguishene has been conducting a review of the police service offered to the Town and Central North Correctional Centre (CNCC). This review is now complete.
Upon review of the submitted bid documents from both the Town of Midland and Ontario Provincial Police, and as a result of a Task Force which met with both service providers, it was the decision of Council to pursue a contract renewal with the Ontario Provincial Police and the following resolution was passed at their meeting on October 26, 2011:
THAT the Penetanguishene Police Services Board and Adhoc Working Group recommend to Council that the Town of Penetanguishene that the Town negotiate the final terms of the contract for contracted police service with the Ontario Provincial Police for policing services for the Town of Penetanguishene and CNCC for a five (5) year term commencing in 2012;
AND THAT the Town of Midland be notified accordingly and thanked for their participation and cooperation in reviewing the potential for joint services;
AND FURTHER THAT the Town continue to lobby the Provincial Government to provide funding to small urban municipalities to assist in offsetting the rising cost of policing in the province;
Letters to OPP, Ministry, CNCC and Town of Midland Page 36 of 244 re: Results of Police Services Review AND FINALLY THAT as the Adhoc Working Group has completed its mandate, the members are to be thanked for their efforts and the group it is hereby disbanded. CARRIED
During the Task Force review, the Town was advised that the specific terms of the contract and the cost sharing formulas are set by the Ministry. The C.A.O. is now in the process of contacting the appropriate Ministry representative to discuss Town’s concerns and to finalize the terms of the contract with the OPP for a term of January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2016.
Once the contract has been finalized and officially adopted by Council, the Town will also need to finalize the terms of the facility use license agreement for the Community Policing Office in Penetanguishene. Our Town Clerk, Holly Bryce will be in contact with the Facilities Management Coordinator, Facilities Section with the Ontario Provincial Police to arrange for a meeting to finalize the agreement.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during the police services review process. Should you require any additional information, please contact the Town Clerk, Holly Bryce at 705-549-7453.

This undertaking was an excellent example of our combined efforts to seek areas of mutual benefit and showed our strength of character in engaging to resolve, even the toughest of issues such as the escalating and tax debilitating costs of policing. The ever escalating policing cost is truly a Provincial issue, local solutions, of any sort, will not resolve the issue.
Letters to OPP, Ministry, CNCC and Town of Midland Page 40 of 244 re: Results of Police Services Review In closing, I feel the both the Town of Midland and Penetanguishene will be able to move forward with other future discussions on joint efficiencies between our two communities.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during the police services review process.

Letters to OPP, Ministry, CNCC and Town of Midland Page 41 of 244 re: Results of Police Services Review RESOLUTION ON RISING COST OF POLICING
WHEREAS the Municipal Act, 2001S.O. 2001, Chapter 25 provides that single, upper and lower tier municipalities in Ontario are responsible for the Protection of persons and property;
AND WHEREAS the Police Services Act R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P.15 further provides that every municipality shall provide adequate and effective police services in accordance with its needs;
AND WHEREAS there are 444 municipalities within the Province of Ontario, 313 of which are serviced by the Ontario Provincial Police;
AND WHEREAS the levels of service and costs associated with said services is controlled by and outlined by the Province of Ontario;
AND WHEREAS the cost of police service continues to escalate at a rate four (4) times higher than that of inflation per year;
AND WHEREAS the Ontario Government has not directly consulted nor communicated with the municipalities serviced by the Ontario Provincial Police on the rising costs which are transferred to the municipalities as part of the cost formulas for the OPP nor on the financial implications of its negotiations with the police service;
AND WHEREAS policing represents a large, if not the largest portion of municipal budgets, particularly in rural and small municipalities;
AND WHEREAS all municipalities strive to maintain the tax levy at a rate that their residents can reasonably afford as local governments are largely funded through property taxes;
AND WHEREAS the median income and cost of living varies in each municipality resulting in an increased financial burden for rate payers with lower median incomes, particularly in rural and small municipalities;
AND WHEREAS Policing salaries make up 90% of policing costs and these salaries can be 2 and 3 times greater than the median income particularly in rural and small municipalities served by the OPP and do not reflect the lower cost of living in these rural and small communities but rather the salaries of the cost of living in the metropolitan areas which are to be used as comparators for the OPP as the “highest paid force”;
AND WHEREAS the continued financial pressure of policing is having an adverse affect on municipalities in the delivery of other essential services in their respective communities;
Resolution Passed by Council Page 42 of 244 re: Rising Cost of Policing NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Town of Penetanguishene request the support of this resolution from all municipalities in Ontario that are serviced by the Ontario Provincial Police (contract or non-contract);
AND THAT all municipalities commit to form a joint effort with the assistance of AMO to clearly and directly communicate to the Provincial Government on policing matters and to deal directly with the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services;
AND FURTHER THAT this joint effort request meetings with the Premier and the Minister to review how decisions made by the Province dramatically impact our local taxpayers and result in higher property taxes and/or reduced municipal service levels as a result of the increased cost of policing by the OPP and to find mutually beneficial ways and means to contain the costs of policing and/or reduce the impact, particularly in small and rural municipalities;
AND FURTHER THAT this joint municipal effort work with the Province to create a salary credit system as part of the OPP costing formula that prorates policing salaries to be more reflective of the median income and cost of living for the area served which would significantly reduce the financial burden on rural and small municipalities;
AND FURTHER THAT said municipalities are encouraged to forward letters in support of this resolution to the Premier, Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO), the Association of Ontario Police Services Boards (OPSB), Provincial Opposition parties and local Member of Provincial Parliament.
AND FINALLY THAT this resolution be forwarded to the appropriate government agencies and communities as outlined within.

Canada’s Police among the Best Paid in the World
From Wednesday's Globe and Mail
Just as Canada’s provinces are saddled with the escalating cost of health care, so too are municipal governments sinking under the unmanageable burden of another sacred area of public sector spending: policing.
Last year, police protection cost Canada’s cash-strapped cities $12.6-billion – the 14th consecutive year of spending growth, even after adjusting for inflation.
While the volume and severity of crime in Canada have been steadily declining for the last decade, police strength has gone in the other direction. There are now 200 officers for every 100,000 people – an increase of 9 per cent since 2001, though homicides rates are at their lowest in more than 30 years. Some high-crime cities, such as Regina and Winnipeg, have high police strength, but so, too, do cities such as Toronto and Montreal, which rank low on the crime-severity index. The number of Criminal Code incidents per officer has declined steadily since peaking 20 years ago.
Police officers have highly stressful jobs that often require shift work and exposure to unpleasant people and tragic situations. They play a crucial role in society and deserve proper compensation – but just what that level should be is difficult to determine.
Unlike other public-sector employees, many municipal police forces continue to receive annual raises that outpace inflation. From 2009 to 2011, expenditures on police salaries and benefits
Correspondence from OAPSB Page 69 of 244 re: Globe & Mail Editorial by Dr. Alok Mukherjee - increased by 5 per cent across the country, while other police operating expenditures fell 4 per cent, Statistics Canada reports.
A first-class officer in Canada’s big cities now earns $80,000-$90,000 a year on average – before overtime and benefits. That makes them among the most generously compensated police in the world. During this year of hard-pressed public finances, the Toronto Police Association negotiated an 11.5-per-cent pay increase over the next four years for its members. Officers get 18 annual days of sick leave, and can bank unused leave, half of which can then be paid out in salary. They can retire at 50, with full pensions, after 30 years of service.
Why is there so little public discussion? And why don’t municipal governments make it a priority to assess this sector’s efficiency, organization and innovation? Municipal politicians fear that austerity measures will earn them an “anti-police�• label tantamount to political suicide. During his campaign, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford supported the police to the point of absurdity, pledging to hire 100 additional officers, even though the Toronto Police Service had not made such a request. Once in office, the Ford administration agreed to increase the police budget by 0.6 per cent to $936-million, while holding all other departments to a 10-per-cent cut.
In Calgary, while Mayor Naheed Nenshi supported the idea of a 1.5-per-cent decrease to the police budget, the majority of city council disagreed, and ended up reversing millions of dollars in cuts, and approving $18.3-million more to the police budget over three years and adding 122 more officers.
The political deference shown to police means no pressure for innovation, unlike in health care and education. It should not be unpatriotic to better manage compensation costs in policing.
This is not the same as questioning the value of police. A front-line constable has a dangerous and unpredictable job, and must do everything from picking up drunks from the gutter and plucking copulating couples off subway platforms to investigating brutal scenes of violence. Canada’s municipal and provincial police forces, as well as the RCMP, enjoy high levels of trust, reflected in the outpouring of support at police funerals.
To be sure, the rising costs also relate to the expanded role of police, including federal policing around border security, international drug trafficking and cybercrime. Charter of Rights requirements also mean officers must provide more information to the defence, and physically compile and catalogue every scrap of evidence for a trial, a process which can tie up a homicide officer for months.
The public, too, needs to manage its expectations of what a uniformed officer can reasonably be expected to do. Many Canadian cities already have auxiliary volunteer officers who assist police, and traffic officers who earn substantially less to ticket disobedient motorists. Businesses call police to clear panhandlers from sidewalks. Could not other city agencies perform some of these roles, and allow police to deal with criminals?
No public service can remain aloof from reform. The public should not expect more and more officers on the streets. Political leaders need to conduct a system-wide review of funding. And saying that doesn’t make you soft on crime.

News Release Communiqué
OAPSB Calls for Immediate Action on Drummond Recommendations Changes needed to manage costs and keep our communities safe
NEWS March 19, 2012
Ontario spends $3.8 billion every year on policing and costs are increasing at an unsustainable rate. Every year, costs rise by 5-7%—or $190 million a year at 5%. Municipal policing is funded almost entirely by property taxes.
Last month, the Drummond Report on the Reform of Ontario's Public Services was released, recommending:
Changes to labour relations and compensation to ensure use of objective criteria in contract negotiations and consideration of ability to pay. A review of the core responsibilities of police to eliminate their use for non-core duties, including an examination of alternative service delivery models; and Action on unpaid Provincial Offences Act fines.
As part of their annual Queen's Park Day, OAPSB members were at the Ontario Legislature today to meet with government and opposition MPPs and staff.
QUOTE
“We are particularly concerned about the rapidly increasing costs of OPP contracts, which are not transparent and leave municipalities on the hook for millions of dollars in unexpected costs. Further they set the bar for other police service contracts. OAPSB calls on the government to take immediate action on the Drummond Recommendations. We need to find a solution urgently because, quite simply, municipalities and taxpayers can no longer afford to pay.” —Alok Mukherjee, President of the OAPSB
QUICK FACTS
322 of Ontario’s 444 municipalities are policed by OPP Labour costs are the single largest factor in rising costs of policing OPP contract costs have increased by an average of 38% in only 5 years (between 2006 and 2011) while the consumer price index rose only 12.5%

Points to Consider
Rising Costs of Policing
"[I]t boils down to the increasing cost of policing and whether our city can continue to afford it." [Quote from Toronto Police Services Board Vice-Chair Michael Thompson] ◦ The budget versus the badge (Globe & Mail, 4 October 2011)
"Municipalities and local police services boards are struggling. If the problem isn’t addressed, they’ll have no choice but to raise taxes — or cut services." ◦ Police boards call for reliable funding (Alok Mukherjee, Toronto Star, 28 September 2011)
“These issues are pretty serious for a city like ours that doesn’t have growth in revenue, but has growing costs… If [the rise of policing costs] continues, there will be no choice but to make tradeoffs between paying for police and paying for other services.” [Quote from Toronto Police Services Board Chair and OAPSB President Alok Mukherjee] ◦ What's the price for law and order? (Adrian Morrow, Globe & Mail, 7 January 2011)
Rising OPP Costs (Section 10 Contracts)
"This is not a local policing issue, this is an administrative issue with the OPP and the Province. While Cochrane's Council appreciates the exemplary policing service it receives, it also has both a legal and moral obligation to protect the integrity of the money it collects from taxpayers - especially when the service itself costs 50 cents of every tax dollar collected in Cochrane. The current circumstances do not allow for this and that's what we need to resolve." [Quote from Cochrane Mayor Peter Politis] ◦ Cochrane Mayor Appointed to Special Policing Cost Task Force (press release, 6 March 2012)
"There are four issues relating to OPP costs as follows: the escalating costs of policing services, the large difference in per household and per capita costs between municipalities, the inconsistent application of policing deployment models throughout the province, and the lack of transparency and accountability regarding the application of policing costs." [Quote from Arnprior Mayor David Reid, on behalf of 21 municipalities] ◦ Mayor heads up AMO delegation concerned with rising policing costs (Arnprior EMC, 1 September 2011)
"The fact is that this [OPP contract] could mean anywhere from 10 to 25 per cent of municipal budgets in the area… The reality is that we just cannot afford this bill and something needs to be done." [Quote from Bancroft Mayor Bernice Jenkins] ◦ Police costs rising (Bancroft This Week, 2011)

Points to Consider
"It is hard for them to tell us what to pay when we had no say as a Town or a region in how they would bill us for these [OPP] costs… We can't afford that." [Quote from Bancroft Deputy Mayor Wayne Wiggins] ◦ Police costs rising (Bancroft This Week, 2011)
Rising Labour Costs
“From 2005 to 2010 the wages of police, fire and ambulance workers outstripped all other comparators by huge margins. They exceeded the CPI by 77 to 110 percent, average public sector wages by 19 to 41 percent, teacher’s salaries by approximately 33 percent and Ontario Public Service wages by 43 to 70 percent.” ◦ Ontario municipalities struggle with cost of essential services (R. Michael Warren, Toronto Star, 28 February 2012)
“We need to get a better balance, so it’s a fair deal for the people who are paid by taxes and for those who pay taxes… Pubic sector pay and benefits need to reflect private sector realities.” [Quote from Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak] ◦ Hudak vows to fix wage arbitration system (Toronto Sun, 23 May 2011)
"Despite declining crime rates, spending on police forces – one of the largest single items on municipal ledgers – has risen 41-per-cent per capita across the country over the last decade for which Statistics Canada numbers are available. Much of that cost is being driven by police raises that consistently top the inflation rate.” ◦ What's the price for law and order? (Adrian Morrow, Globe & Mail, 7 January 2011)
Arbitration & Contract Negotiation
"The arbitration system needs to be shifted in favour of more objective analysis, based on objective criteria and supported by systematic data and research." ◦ Drummond Report on the Reform of Ontario's Public Services (15 February 2012)
“The ability to pay, service and tax implications and local and provincial economic conditions have been largely ignored.” ◦ Ontario municipalities struggle with cost of essential services (R. Michael Warren, Toronto Star, 28 February 2012)
“The system is broken and it needs to be fixed. It can only be fixed at the provincial level… Other police service boards have been asking the province to deal with this particular problem for quite some time. So it’s not new.” [Quote from Toronto Councillor Michael Thompson, vice-chair of the Toronto Police Services Board] ◦ Hudak vows to fix wage arbitration system (Toronto Sun, 23 May 2011)

Points to Consider
“Common sense dictates that arbitrators should consider how many businesses have closed down, how deeply property values have declined, and how great a property tax increase will be needed to fund the figures they have in mind… We appreciate that the Ontario Minister of Finance has asked municipalities to negotiate wage freezes during these difficult economic times. It is not easy.” [Quote from AMO President Peter Hume] ◦ Hudak vows to fix wage arbitration system (Toronto Sun, 23 May 2011)
“I would open up the act to make sure that the taxpayers’ ability to pay is one of the dominant factors that arbitrators will look at… We can’t continue to enforce upon less affluent communities settlements that were agreed to in the richest Ontario communities." [Quote from Ontario PC Leader Tim Hudak] ◦ Hudak vows to fix wage arbitration system (Toronto Sun, 23 May 2011)
“When the province gives large increases to the OPP, all large municipal forces must follow suit or risk having an arbitrator replicate the OPP agreement.” [Quote from Toronto Police Services Board Vice-Chair Michael Thompson] ◦ Some OPP officers getting pay hike despite McGuinty's 'salary freeze' (Toronto Sun, 18 May 2011)
"What we need is legislation that will give us the ability to challenge a decision… The legislation (regarding arbitration) that's both fair to employees and employers." [Qutoe from Cornwall Councillor Glen Grant] ◦ Contracts: Municipalities struggling with big decisions (Cornwall Standard- Freeholder, 15 May 2011)
“I think we would have liked the provincial government to legislate the restraints, instead of just putting them in as guidelines… Funding the police is the single biggest cost of the regional budget – about one-third of the entire tax levy." [Quote from Cambridge Police Services Board Chair Tom Galloway] ◦ Police get six per cent raise (Cambridge Times, 24 November 2010)
Unpaid POA Fines
"Collection mechanisms should be improved so that the estimated $2.5 million unpaid POA [Provincial Offences Act] fines can be recovered." ◦ Drummond Report on the Reform of Ontario's Public Services (15 February 2012)
"We use every tool [to collect unpaid fines] to the maximum advantage… But we know we can do better. We're saying give us the tools." [Quote from Ottawa Deputy City Treasurer Ken Hughes] ◦ Some uncollected fines just ‘bad debt,’ Chiarelli says (Ottawa Citizen, 25 December 2011)

Points to Consider
"We have to get tougher (in collecting unpaid fines)... It's a question of trying to make sure the fines are enforced, not only because we'd like to see the money in our coffers, but (also) from the public safety point of view, too. People have to understand there are consequences to breaking the law, whether it's speeding or not wearing a seatbelt." [Quote from Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson] ◦ Fine collection must improve, Watson warns Queen's Park (Ottawa Citizen, 20 December 2011)
"It's going to be very important that we look for ways to ensure that any money that is owing to us is in fact being paid." [Quote from Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty] ◦ Ontarians have $1 billion unpaid fines; police boards want tougher penalties (Canadian Press, 9 November 2011)
"We need to make sure that we have the revenue [from unpaid fines] that we need to pay for vital social services." [Quote from NDP MPP Jonah Schein] ◦ Ontarians have $1 billion unpaid fines; police boards want tougher penalties (Canadian Press, 9 November 2011)

The Rising Costs of Policing in Ontario
OAPSB calls upon the provincial government to:
• Stop the ever-increasing pattern of rising police costs; • Review core responsibilities of police (with a view of eliminating use of police for non-core tasks) and examine alternative models of police service delivery, per Recommendation 14-4 of the Drummond Report; • Ensure arbitration decisions are made using objective criteria, per Recommendation 15-4 of the Drummond Report, and including economic criteria mandated in the Police Services Act , section 122(5)(3); • Establish an independent tribunal or commission to create, maintain, and manage a roster of independent arbitrators, and require arbitrators to provide clear assessments and reasonings for their decisions, per Recommendation 15-4 of the Drummond Report; • Facilitate a voluntary/optional move toward centralized police bargaining for municipalities, per Recommendation 15-10 of the Drummond Report; and • Lead a proactive, collaborative study of alternative police funding mechanisms, with a view ceasing the existing reliance on property tax as the sole source of funding for municipal policing (provincial and federal grants notwithstanding).
General Background
• Policing in Canada is a nearly $12 billion a year industry. In Ontario, the province and municipalities collectively spend $3.8 billion annually on policing.
• This cost is rising by 5-7% each and every year (approximately $190 million a year at 5%).

• Clearly, costs of policing are outpacing the Consumer Price Index (CPI), population growth, and even growth in the number of officers on the streets.
• Ultimately, police budgets come from taxpayers. A significant proportion of policing costs are financed out of the provincial tax base.
• Unfortunately, municipalities and local police boards do not have the ability to address this rising trend without dramatically raising taxes or cutting costs.
• In recent years, 50-60 small and rural police services contracted with the OPP because rising costs made it too expensive for municipalities to maintain their own police service.
• The following charts, courtesy of Durham and Peel police services boards, graphically illustrate the challenges we face.

Cost Drivers
• Introduction of Adequacy Standards requiring standardized capabilities in all police services (i.e., every police service must have every service capability, or an agreement in place with a neighbouring police service for any service that it does not have the capability to deliver).
• Increased complexity of work as a result of judicial decisions, rulings and inquests.
• Increased compliance requirement (i.e., training and reporting requirements of regulations).
• Downloading: municipal police services are undertaking federal and provincial law enforcement and correctional services tasks such as border security, counterterrorism, embassy/consulate protection, peacekeeping on First Nations lands, public order maintenance in response to federal or provincial decisions (e.g., G20), prisoner transportation and court security.
• Heightened public expectations and demand for services.

• Mission creep: police services taking on multi-jurisdictional tasks (such as internet crime, dealing with large gangs, executing warrants in other jurisdictions, etc.) and spending increasing time on non-traditional tasks (such as school safety, victim assistance, mental health interventions, crime prevention education, etc.), due to absence of other resources for these tasks or regulation requirements.
• The increased threat of terrorism and greater security concerns/measures in a post-9/11 atmosphere.
• Increased spending on rapidly evolving technology, hardware, software and associated training costs.
• Increased court security costs.
• An increase in the number of court appearances per case by police officers.
• Exponentially rising labour costs: the combination of government-settled OPP compensation increases and arbitrated settlements based on police-to-police wage comparisons has created an ever-increasing pattern of police compensation. (See “Labour & Arbitration Background” below.)
• Lack of development or exploration of more efficient, innovative or different ways to fund, structure and deliver police services over the past decade.
Labour & Arbitration Background
• Labour costs are the single largest factor in rising costs of policing.
• Last year, Ontario settled a contract with the Ontario Provincial Police which included raises of over 5% in 2011, plus an undertaking to make the OPP the best paid police service in Ontario by 2014. This award followed calls for austerity and a two-year wage freeze for public servants.
• This contract set the trend for municipal police settlements (as police service boards have emulated the OPP contract to avoid the uncertainty and cost of arbitrated settlements), ensuring that policing costs continue to rise.
• In their awards, arbitrators rarely consider factors other than settlements of comparable and/or neighbouring police services (including the OPP), despite legislation to the contrary (section 122(5) of the Police Services Act ). Since the recent OPP settlement, at least one arbitrator has ruled on a police settlement where wages were based on OPP wages.

• Although only a small number of cases go before an arbitrator it should be noted that many police boards avoid this avenue due to lack of confidence in outcomes, lengthiness of the process and substantial costs that are incurred.
• While there are many specific terms and benefits in policing contracts that are driving up costs just a few examples are: Costs associated with providing administrative positions for rehabbing or sick employees; the “3/6/9 bonus enhancement (3% top up for 7 years with the force 6% for over 12 years and 9% for over 16 years or slight variations of it in from contract to contract) originally introduced to promote retention which has now become standard into all contracts as “experience pay.”
The Urgent Need for a Review
• Given the current challenges, and the unsustainability of the rate of cost growth, the need for a review to begin addressing some of these problems is urgent.
• The review should examine three key themes:
• Current fiscal and social climate (examine policing in the broader context of public safety);
• Core duties of policing in Ontario (explore what public safety functions could, and perhaps should be undertaken and/or led by non-police entities); and
• Sustainable policing services in the future.
• Note: recommendations regarding labour costs and a review of core duties of policing appeared in the Drummond Report:
• Recommendation 14-4: Review the core responsibilities of police to eliminate their use for non-core duties. This review would include an examination of alternative models of police service delivery. Criteria for the review would include determining the relative costs of the various security providers and an evaluation of their respective comparative advantages.
• Recommendation 15-4: The arbitration system needs to be shifted in favour of more objective analysis, based on objective criteria and supported by systematic data and research. Changes should include:
• The establishment of an independent tribunal or commission to create, maintain and manage a roster or a panel of independent arbitrators.

• Develop specific and well-defined objective criteria that interest arbitrators would be required to account for in formulating their awards/decisions. For example, “ability to pay” criteria should be broadened to include economic and fiscal environment, and productivity criteria in arbitration awards/decisions;
• Arbitrators should be required to provide clear assessments and reasons for their awards/decisions based on the specific and well- defined criteria specified in legislation, as well as any others;
• Recommendation 15-10: The government should facilitate a voluntary movement to centralized bargaining for municipalities — particularly in relation to police and firefighting bargaining. Note: The Commission recognized that mandating centralized bargaining for municipalities would not be ideal for all municipalities. The benefit of a voluntary approach of centralization for municipal bargaining is that municipalities might not be completely “centralized,” but rather become “more centralized” in bargaining. The larger municipalities, or some groups of them, will tend to bargain together, and, likewise, the smaller municipalities will bargain together but separate from the larger ones.
• To be effective, a review of policing costs will require representation from municipal and provincial police boards, experts in police governance, police chiefs, executives, police labour bodies, and safety partners such as mental health and education representatives.
• A review should also look at emerging trends, case studies, best practices, and a comparative overview of similar and international jurisdictions.
Concerned Stakeholders
• In addition to OAPSB, the following stakeholders have also publicly expressed concern with the rising costs of policing:
• A significant number of municipalities
• The Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO)o
• The Canadian Association of Police Services Boards (CAPB)
• The Canadian Association of Police Chiefs (CACP)
• The Canadian Police Association (CPA)

Police Governance Training
OAPSB calls upon the provincial government to:
• Establish, in consultation with OAPSB, minimum training requirements for police services board members; and • Contribute at least $120,000 annually to OAPSB in support of police governance education and training programs.
Background
• Stakeholders agree that, given their significant and often complex responsibilities, effective training of our Police Services Board (PSB) members is critical to building strong police services and essential for public safety.
• PSB members are uniquely challenged because they rarely possess public safety backgrounds. Without appropriate training, PSB members could inadvertently pose a significant risk to effective police governance, public safety, and public confidence in both police and government.
• Failures in governance can have devastating (and headline-grabbing) impacts on public confidence in police. In the recent past, police service board members have been suspended for misuse of public property, criminally charged when overstepping their authority, and put under intense public and media scrutiny for decisions (or lack thereof) regarding police oversight. (Witness the public outcry over G20.) One of the most effective and efficient ways of mitigating these risks is through education.
• The Police Services Act requires that:
• 31(5) The board shall ensure that its members undergo any training that the Solicitor General may provide or require.
• Currently, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) does not consider participation in police governance training to be compulsory, despite stakeholder insistence to the contrary and self-evident risks such as those identified above.

• In early 2010, MCSCS unilaterally terminated its police governance training program, which addressed legislation. Delivery of this training has been assumed by OAPSB, which now provides a superior product on-line and in person.
• The Solicitor General used to provide an annual training grant to OAPSB. In the year that the funding was discontinued (1997), the governance training grant was $125,000. This cancellation obviously had a significant impact on the development and delivery of governance training, a challenge which continues to persist today.
• OAPSB and the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) agree that effective police services boards are an essential component of the public safety system in Ontario.
• OAPSB and OACP agree that training regarding legislation and governance methodology is essential to effective police governance, given their significant and often complex responsibilities.
• OAPSB and OACP agree that MCSCS bears a responsibility to provide some minimum level of police governance training.
• OACP supports OAPSB’s request for a provincial training grant.
• OACP supports OAPSB’s proposal regarding the establishment of mandatory minimum training standards for police services board members.
• MCSCS currently contributes financially to the OACP Constable Selection Program.
• OAPSB also provides quality education on the “how to” of police governance – education which is also critical to effective police governance. Topics include:
• The Accountability Framework, • Police Services Board Governance Responsibilities, • Policy Development, • Strategic and Business Planning, • Budgeting, • OPP Contract Monitoring, and • Community / Public Relations.
• Additionally, OAPSB hosts annual educational events that feature of variety of subject matter experts and educators, addressing such topics as:

• Ethics, • The Public Complaints System, • Collective Bargaining, • Grievances, • Chief Selection and Hiring, • Monitoring Chief/Detachment Commander Performance, • Risk Management, and • Topical Public Safety Issues.
• The OAPSB has access to staff expertise to deliver police governance training to all police services board members, but lacks the funds to fully deliver the program. OAPSB spends roughly $390,000 per year on education and training activities. A grant of $120,000 would cover less than 30% of total costs with OASPB continuing to allocate funds as well to cover remainder.
• Discussions over the course of the past year with the former ministers and staff at both MAG and MCSCS, were positive with agreement that governance training is important and required; and indications were that the governance training grant would be forthcoming. However, due to the impending 2011 provincial election, discussions were put on hold and the grant was not approved before the election.
• Now that the election has passed and new ministers are in place, we look to the government to approve and deliver the governance training grant with no further delays.
• While we understand that the government is facing financial constraints, it is our position that the training grant provides excellent value for money, and will enable the ministry to fulfill its responsibilities at a fraction of the cost of other options such as assigning or hiring ministry staff to perform this training. The OAPSB has already invested significant resources to the development of training programs and tools (such as our e-learning program) that would be an additional and unnecessary cost to government should they wish to develop similar programs. It would also be a time consuming and wholly duplicitous exercise for the government to undertake.
• Finally, the quality of OAPSB training programs is excellent and superior to anything currently available as they are developed in consultation with stakeholders including MCSCS, the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, the Ontario Civilian Police Commission, the Ontario Provincial Police, and other experts.

OAPSB Police Services Board Training Overview
There are 3 types of police services boards (PSBs) in Ontario, consisting of approximately 630 total members:
• Section 31 PSBs, which act as the employer of municipal police services • Section 10 PSBs, which monitor the provision of OPP services in those municipalities with such OPP service contracts • First Nations PSBs
PSBs are a critical component of Ontario’s public safety system. More specifically, they oversee the provision of adequate and effective police services in their municipalities. Some of the legislated responsibilities that PSBs have include:
• Select and hire the chief of police and deputy chiefs, or participate in the selection of their OPP detachment commander • Establish, consultatively, objectives and priorities for police service in their municipality • Produce, collaboratively, the police service business plan • Monitor the provision of police services in the municipality, relative to established expectations • Monitor performance of the chief of police or detachment commander • Establish guidelines for dealing with complaints and review the Chief of Polices administration of the complaints system
Further Police Service Boards also support the principles of the Police Service Act including:
• Safety and Security of all persons and property in Ontario • Safeguard the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Human Rights Code • Co-operation between the provider of police services and the communities they serve • Respect for victims of crimes and their needs • Sensitivity to the pluralistic, multi-racial, multicultural character of Ontario society • Ensure Police Services are representative of the communities they serve

To prepare PSB members to fulfill their responsibilities, education is required. Training is considered to be a joint provincial government-OAPSB responsibility.
The OAPSB training program is comprised of:
• Education-focussed conferences and seminars, featuring presentations by subject matter experts, panel discussions and interactive sessions
• Free 15-minute on-line e-learning sessions regarding the following legislative issues: o Introduction to the Police Services Act o The Major Stakeholders: The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services and Municipality, the Office of the Independent Police Review Director and the Ontario Civilian Police Commission o Leader roles and responsibilities o The role of a PSB member
• Free 2-3 hour classroom sessions available at zone meetings for no charge (self- study guides available for $50 per module or $150 for the full set of 5): o Accountability Framework o Policy & Governance Responsibilities of the Board o Contract Monitoring (section 10) o Budgeting (Section 31) o Strategic and Business Planning o Community / Public Relations
• Limited mentoring and advisory services are also offered by OAPSB

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
OAPSB calls upon the provincial government to:
• Refrain from making Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) a presumptive workplace injury for police under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act (WSIA); • Require all PTSD diagnoses in police personnel to be made by registered psychiatrists and/or clinical psychologists to ensure accurate diagnosis; and • Require employer and employee participation in medically-prescribed treatment programs (including back-to-work programs) as a condition of continued employment and/or receipt of benefits, including any WSIB claims.
Background
• Our police officers put themselves on the line every day, and we appreciate that they may be faced with stressful and even dangerous situations on the street. We know that a healthy police service is an effective one, and we are fully committed maintaining a strong and healthy workforce. Appropriate education, organizational attitudes, diagnosis standards, rehabilitation programs and effective back-to-work programs are required to further this goal.
• Given the nature of policing, mental health is a critical issue for our officers. Increasing awareness about mental health and the early warning signs of mental distress can help officers and their families.
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a very real and potentially very serious mental injury that may be incurred by some police employees. Some recent statistics indicate that the rate of PTSD among police officers is twice the national average. However, while the occurrence rates have remained stable, claim rates are increasing.
• PTSD is particularly difficult to diagnose and attribute. Its symptoms are mainly subjective and internal (e.g., negative emotions, changes in perception of the world) and so cannot be empirically measured. They also may not manifest until days, weeks, or even years after the traumatic event, and may not even be

attributed to that event by the sufferer. Symptoms of PTSD strongly overlap with other mental disorders, such as anxiety disorders.
• Currently, diagnosis is often made by a General Practitioner, not a mental health expert such as a psychiatrist or psychologist. Unfortunately, a diagnosis by a non-expert may not be the most accurate, and may not lead to the most effective treatment for our officers.
• Stress disorders are compensable under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act . It is widely known that many PTSD applications are accepted without lengthy examination processes.
• Because of the challenges in identifying PTSD, we support minimum province- wide standards for diagnosis in policing to help officers get the support they require and weed out possible misdiagnosis or fraud.
• Unfortunately, given the difficulty in definitive diagnosis of PTSD, cases of misdiagnosis and fraud have occurred, costing police services and municipalities millions of dollars in compensation and legal damages. These costs place further stress on already-strapped municipalities and boards.
• We support education and early intervention to help officers with PTSD and other mental health disorders. With early intervention and proper treatment, PTSD does not have to be a life-long, disabling disease.
• Participation in medically-prescribed treatment programs (including back-to-work) is vital to treating PTSD and should be mandatory for both employers and members. Active participation in treatment programs should be a condition of continued employment and/or receipt of benefits including any WSIB claims.
• The WSIB is currently investigating whether instances of PTSD in police personnel should automatically be considered to be work-related. If this happens, many more police claims will be put forward and accepted, and costs will increase. Currently, presumptive occupational diseases include things like poisoning, diseases from physical agents, respiratory diseases, and cancers. There are no psychological diseases listed in Schedules 3 or 4 to the WSIA, or in subsequent regulatory amendments related to firefighters.
• The Ontario Ombudsman is also looking into OPP handling of Operation Stress Injuries (OSI), including PTSD, among officers. The investigation will specifically examine the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services’ administrative processes relating to these injuries.

• Unfortunate as it is, we know that police personnel will almost certainly witness traumatic incidents while on duty. They receive training to deal with this at the Ontario Police College and on the job. Because some exposure to traumatic events is expected and preparatory training provided, the WSIA provisions should not be interpreted and applied as if police officers are not expected or equipped to ever face them.
• In the interests of our police officers and the communities they serve, we strongly recommend that the following be mandated: thorough professionally- qualified diagnosis; employer/employee participation in treatment & back to work programs

6. DIRECTORS’ REPORT
President Mukherjee of the OAPSB provided members with an update on the priorities and activities of the Association. Alok spoke about the upcoming 50 th anniversary Spring Conference at the Westin in Ottawa. The program is looking good and is on the website. Lots of good speakers have been invited. He also mentioned that the Fall Seminar that focused on the Rising Cost of Policing had been among the most successful yet with 147 delegates attending and fully 85% of respondents rating the event as good or excellent.
He also spoke about the importance of training and learning mentioning particularly the e-learning initiative. This is an excellent resource and is currently being underutilized. Modules take on 15-20 minutes to complete. A self study guide on Labour Relations is currently under development with risk management and ethics training package to be developed next.
In the area of Advocacy, he mentioned the number one priority areas of the training grants, rising cost of policing and general Section 10 issues. The second rank of priorities included unpaid POA tickets, sustained grant programs, rewrites of the Police Services Act, PTSD, impact of new legislation and court security. The advocacy meeting with Ministers Meilleur and Gerretsen and Mr. Drummond were described.
Members were encouraged to submit AGM resolutions.
In response to a question with respect to funding rebates from the provinces due to court security and other initiatives, Dr. Mukherjee noted that these funds accrued to the municipalities and not PSB`s as financial relationships re policing were the purview of the municipalities.
7. SECTION 10 DIRECTOR’S REPORT
George Braithwaite, Section 10 Working Group Director, provided a very useful summary of Section 10
Ontario Association of Police Services Boards Page 4 Zone 3 Meeting Minutes – January 25, 2012
Zone 3 Meeting Minutes Page 154 of 244 - Dated January 25, 2012 issues prefaced by the observation that much of conversation around Section 10 negotiations is `like speaking greek. ` A summary of his notes follows.
o Last section 10 committee meeting occurred in late September, prior to the OAPSB Fall Seminar. Scheduled November meeting cancelled. o September meeting devoted to the challenges facing municipalities regarding the rising costs of policing. Meeting attendees spoke to need to bring much greater clarity to the factors affecting contract costs. o The government of Ontario requires full cost recovery for police services provided by the OPP. o Wages and benefits are determined through collective bargaining with the government and OPPA. Salaries and benefits constitute 85% of municipal policing costs. Municipalities are not involved and therefore have no influence. o The remaining cost components are determined by the OPP using a complex resource formula. This formula produces the FTEs required to satisfy the minimum public safety adequacy standard required by the PSA. o Additional cost factors include inter alia, shared infrastructure costs at the local detachment that support the officers in the field, calls for service, geography, etc. o All the foregoing actions to determine municipal policing costs by the OPP are in compliance with government policy. o Is it realistic for municipalities to seek a position at the negotiating table, when one appreciates that the OPP is simply following government direction? o If municipalities are to control of their budgets and property tax levels, it would seem that the Government of Ontario should be the focus of our advocacy.
George also added some observations on work associated with PTSB.
Members then engaged in a discussion on the need for improved communications between Police Service Boards and Municipal Council with the Police Service Advisors noting the requirement in the Adequacy Standards (Regulation 3\99, Section 32.1 (a)(b)(c)(d). Members were urged to review their individual situations to determine if such protocols existed and begin their development if they weren’t complete.
Moved by: Sherry Senis Seconded by: Steve Redpath That each PSB investigate if protocols are in place and, if not, proceed immediately toward their development. CARRIED
Further on the same subject, several sources of support in protocol development were identified. Peter Osinga mentioned that some examples may be available at the Minister and he would endeavour to provide them. George Braithwaite mentioned examples in Lanark County and Tay Township while Nancy Martin mentioned that some examples could be found on their website - http://www.peterboroughpolice.com/Assets/Police/Documents/Policies+$!26+By- Laws/Policies/Information+Sharing+Agreement.pdf .
http://www.tayvalleytwp.ca/council/committees-and-boards/police-services/
Dr. Mukherjee mentioned that OAPSB might also be able to assist in developing templates.
Moved by: Sherry Senis Seconded by: John Fulton

The bank account has a balance of $2,189.56 and there is term deposit of $1,110.56 for a total of $3,300.12. Notice regarding 2012 Zone dues have been sent. Moved by: Seconded by: That the financial report is approved as presented . CARRIED.
9. NEW BUSINESS
(a) Zone Contribution to the 2012 Spring Conference. Moved by: Steve Repath Seconded by: That the Zone contribute $500.00 toward the 2012 Spring Conference.
(b) Section 31 Negotations Rob McKenzie spoke to many of the challenges faced by Police Service Boards in negotiating new contracts with police associations. Noting George’s figure of 85% of police costs being found in salaries, Rob described the “leapfrog approach” to contract negotiation with each negotiation seeking to advance remuneration beyond the negotiation before. He also referred to “pressures toward parity” between municipal forces and the OPP.
"Moved by: R. McKenzie, Seconded by: J. Attwood
THAT the Zone 3 Chair be directed to forward correspondence to Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Chris Lewis rejecting his proposal to invoice municipal police forces that call on the OPP for assistance;
AND THAT a copy of this correspondence be forwarded to all Ontario Association of Police Services Board members for their endorsement;

NEWS RELEASE for immediate release
Penetanguishene Inks Five Year Deal with OPP
March 2, 2012 – The Penetanguishene Town Council will move forward in a renewed contractual relationship with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) for the next 5 years. Town Council opted to continue with a five (5) member Police Services Board format. Council will be appointing new members to the three municipal positions on the Board.
Deputy Mayor Pat Marion will be serving on the Board as the Mayor’s designate, which will allow the Mayor to focus on the Mayors’ Coalition and the provincial lobbying work in regards to the rising cost of policing. Given that over the life of the contract there will be a $10 million dollar policing tax burden placed upon our community, Council has placed Finance & Corporate Services Section Chair, Councillor Daryl O’Shea, on the Board as the Council representative. A new member of the public will be appointed to Board by the Mayor, which will be ratified by Council in March. The full Police Services Board appointments are expected to be in place in time for the Board meeting scheduled on April 10th, 2012.
During the Police Services Review, the Town also became aware that other OPP Detachments meet regularly with their municipalities to discuss detachment wide issues. The Town of Penetanguishene is proposing that the municipalities in the Southern Georgian Bay Detachment meet with the Detachment Commander several times per year to enhance communications about detachment issues and trends.
“I am quite proud of the effort that our Town Staff, Town Council, Police Ad-hoc and Police Service Board teams put in to this past year’s policing review. During the process, Council left no knowledge rock unturned and all decisions made had the benefit of a fully informed and knowledgeable council team. Our signing of a 5 year contract represents a year of hard work and the knowledge gained positions our community as a Provincial leader in terms of policing matters,” said Mayor Gerry Marshall. “With the new Provincial policing outlook positioned by Mr. Drummond, a fresh new contract in place, and a fresh new group of Municipal representatives on our Police Service Board, our Town is safely secured and positioned to move forward into a new policing era.”

The Corporation of The Town of Penetanguishene Finance & Corporate Services Section Committee Report
COMMITTEE: Finance & Corporate Services Section
COMMITTEE CHAIR: Councillor Daryl O’Shea
SUBJECT: Towing Services Contract
RECOMMENDATION THAT Finance & Corporate Services Section award the town towing contract to Lesperance Towing for a term of 3 years commencing on May 1, 2012 to April 30, 2015, with the option of a 3 year extension;
AND THAT the Town Clerk be authorized to sign the service agreement.
INTRODUCTION The Penetanguishene Police Services Board and the Town has had a tow service contract for the towing and impounding of vehicles and other conveyances since 2006. The existing contract has now expired.
ANALYSIS Under various Municipal By-laws (clean yards, parking, zoning etc.) and/or as a result of Highway Traffic Act infractions (accidents), vehicles are required to be towed and stored as a result of enforcement action.
In the past, the service contract has been sent out to local tow companies in the form of a tender; however, given the limited number of service providers and the minimal cost to the Town for the service, a tender is no longer required. In addition, under the Police Services Act, said contract does not fall under the mandate of the Penetanguishene Police Services Board and as such is being recommended to be administered by the Clerk’s Department.
Under the provisions of the contract (copy attached), the company must be able to provide a secure compound/storage area, at least 2 tow vehicles and provide priority service to both the OPP and Municipal Law Enforcement.
There are two (2) primary tow companies that service the Penetanguishene area, both of which have submitted prices and vehicle information (attached)
BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS The cost for towing services is almost always borne by the vehicle owner whether it is OPP or By-law related. In exceptional circumstances where the vehicle owner cannot be determined, the Town may incur the related tow/storage fees. Due to the low value of the service contract, no Council approval is required.

SECTION 10 PSB RELATIONS WITH COUNCIL
Background
Every municipality in Ontario is required to provide adequate and effective police services in accordance with its needs, including:1
Crime prevention
Law enforcement
Assistance to victims of crime
Public order maintenance
Emergency response
Approximately 144 Ontario municipalities have chosen to have their police services provided by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) through a contract as per Section 10 of the Police Services Act.
Why Police Services Boards?
Reasons for independent civilian governance of police forces:2
To ensure adequate and effective police services in their municipality
To hold detachment commanders accountable for their responsibilities
To oversee the provision of police services in accordance with principles established in the Police Services Act:
1. The need to ensure the safety and security of all persons and property in Ontario.
2. The importance of safeguarding the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Human RightsCode.
3. The need for co-operation between the provider of police services and the communities they serve.
4. The importance of respect for victims of crime and understanding of their needs.
5. The need for sensitivity to the pluralistic, multi-racial and multicultural character of Ontario society.
6. The need to ensure the police forces are representative of the communities they serve.

Roles & Responsibilities – Municipal Council & the Police Services Board
The role of the municipality is to:5
Provide adequate and effective police services in accordance with its needs
Enter into the contract for the provision of OPP services, and renew it as required
Fund the provision of police services, in accordance with the contract and associated invoices
The role of a Section 10 police services board is:6
Participate in the selection of the detachment commander
Generally determine objectives and priorities for police services to the community, in consultation with the detachment commander
Establish, in consultation with the detachment commander, local policies regarding police services
Monitor the performance of the detachment commander
Receive regular reports from the detachment commander regarding secondary employment of police officers
Receive and review regular reports from the detachment commander regarding administration of the complaints system
The police services board is led by a chair who is elected annually by the members of the board. The Police Services Act contains a code of conduct for board members, which is binding on each member. Clearly there is a very real need for council and the police services board to understand and respect each other’s roles, and to work collaboratively to ensure each has the best information to make their own decisions.

In summary, the municipality is responsible to fund the provision of police services and the police services board is responsible to govern the police services. They are linked but operate independently.7
Linking the Community to Police Service
The link between the community and the detachment commander is the police services board.
The Adequacy Standard requires that each police services board and its associated municipal council establish a protocol addressing:8
The sharing of information with municipal council, including the type of information to be shared and frequency for sharing such information
The dates by which the business plan and annual report shall be provided to municipal council
The responsibility for making public the business plan and annual report, and the dates by which the business plan and report must be made public
If the municipal council chooses, jointly determining, and participating in, the consultation processes for development of the business plan
Concluding Remarks
Public safety is serious and risky business. It’s also expensive business. Council, the police services board, the detachment commander, and the public each have a role to play. It is in the best interests of public safety that each party learn and fulfill their appropriate roles and responsibilities.
Municipal council is responsible to provide adequate and effective police services in accordance with its needs, in this case through a contract for services with the OPP. The police services board is required, after consultation with the detachment commander, to generally determine objectives and priorities for police services for the community. It makes eminent sense, therefore, that council would consult the police services board before entering into a contract with the OPP, and that the police services board would consult council before setting the annual objectives and priorities. Certainly such exchange of information and ideas would be in the community’s best interest.
Questions regarding existing legislation should be referred to the applicable Zone Advisor from the Ministry of Community Services and Correctional Services.

Police Governance Training
OAPSB calls upon the provincial government to:
• Establish, in consultation with OAPSB, minimum training requirements for police services board members; and • Contribute at least $120,000 annually to OAPSB in support of police governance education and training programs.
Background
• Stakeholders agree that, given their significant and often complex responsibilities, effective training of our Police Services Board (PSB) members is critical to building strong police services and essential for public safety.
• PSB members are uniquely challenged because they rarely possess public safety backgrounds. Without appropriate training, PSB members could inadvertently pose a significant risk to effective police governance, public safety, and public confidence in both police and government.
• Failures in governance can have devastating (and headline-grabbing) impacts on public confidence in police. In the recent past, police service board members have been suspended for misuse of public property, criminally charged when overstepping their authority, and put under intense public and media scrutiny for decisions (or lack thereof) regarding police oversight. (Witness the public outcry over G20.) One of the most effective and efficient ways of mitigating these risks is through education.
• The Police Services Act requires that:
• 31(5) The board shall ensure that its members undergo any training that the Solicitor General may provide or require.
• Currently, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services (MCSCS) does not consider participation in police governance training to be compulsory, despite stakeholder insistence to the contrary and self-evident risks such as those identified above.

• In early 2010, MCSCS unilaterally terminated its police governance training program, which addressed legislation. Delivery of this training has been assumed by OAPSB, which now provides a superior product on-line and in person.
• The Solicitor General used to provide an annual training grant to OAPSB. In the year that the funding was discontinued (1997), the governance training grant was $125,000. This cancellation obviously had a significant impact on the development and delivery of governance training, a challenge which continues to persist today.
• OAPSB and the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) agree that effective police services boards are an essential component of the public safety system in Ontario.
• OAPSB and OACP agree that training regarding legislation and governance methodology is essential to effective police governance, given their significant and often complex responsibilities.
• OAPSB and OACP agree that MCSCS bears a responsibility to provide some minimum level of police governance training.
• OACP supports OAPSB’s request for a provincial training grant.
• OACP supports OAPSB’s proposal regarding the establishment of mandatory minimum training standards for police services board members.
• MCSCS currently contributes financially to the OACP Constable Selection Program.
• OAPSB also provides quality education on the “how to” of police governance – education which is also critical to effective police governance. Topics include:
• The Accountability Framework, • Police Services Board Governance Responsibilities, • Policy Development, • Strategic and Business Planning, • Budgeting, • OPP Contract Monitoring, and • Community / Public Relations.
• Additionally, OAPSB hosts annual educational events that feature of variety of subject matter experts and educators, addressing such topics as:

• Ethics, • The Public Complaints System, • Collective Bargaining, • Grievances, • Chief Selection and Hiring, • Monitoring Chief/Detachment Commander Performance, • Risk Management, and • Topical Public Safety Issues.
• The OAPSB has access to staff expertise to deliver police governance training to all police services board members, but lacks the funds to fully deliver the program. OAPSB spends roughly $390,000 per year on education and training activities. A grant of $120,000 would cover less than 30% of total costs with OASPB continuing to allocate funds as well to cover remainder.
• Discussions over the course of the past year with the former ministers and staff at both MAG and MCSCS, were positive with agreement that governance training is important and required; and indications were that the governance training grant would be forthcoming. However, due to the impending 2011 provincial election, discussions were put on hold and the grant was not approved before the election.
• Now that the election has passed and new ministers are in place, we look to the government to approve and deliver the governance training grant with no further delays.
• While we understand that the government is facing financial constraints, it is our position that the training grant provides excellent value for money, and will enable the ministry to fulfill its responsibilities at a fraction of the cost of other options such as assigning or hiring ministry staff to perform this training. The OAPSB has already invested significant resources to the development of training programs and tools (such as our e-learning program) that would be an additional and unnecessary cost to government should they wish to develop similar programs. It would also be a time consuming and wholly duplicitous exercise for the government to undertake.
• Finally, the quality of OAPSB training programs is excellent and superior to anything currently available as they are developed in consultation with stakeholders including MCSCS, the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, the Ontario Civilian Police Commission, the Ontario Provincial Police, and other experts.

OAPSB Police Services Board Training Overview
There are 3 types of police services boards (PSBs) in Ontario, consisting of approximately 630 total members:
• Section 31 PSBs, which act as the employer of municipal police services • Section 10 PSBs, which monitor the provision of OPP services in those municipalities with such OPP service contracts • First Nations PSBs
PSBs are a critical component of Ontario’s public safety system. More specifically, they oversee the provision of adequate and effective police services in their municipalities. Some of the legislated responsibilities that PSBs have include:
• Select and hire the chief of police and deputy chiefs, or participate in the selection of their OPP detachment commander • Establish, consultatively, objectives and priorities for police service in their municipality • Produce, collaboratively, the police service business plan • Monitor the provision of police services in the municipality, relative to established expectations • Monitor performance of the chief of police or detachment commander • Establish guidelines for dealing with complaints and review the Chief of Polices administration of the complaints system
Further Police Service Boards also support the principles of the Police Service Act including:
• Safety and Security of all persons and property in Ontario • Safeguard the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Human Rights Code • Co-operation between the provider of police services and the communities they serve • Respect for victims of crimes and their needs • Sensitivity to the pluralistic, multi-racial, multicultural character of Ontario society • Ensure Police Services are representative of the communities they serve

To prepare PSB members to fulfill their responsibilities, education is required. Training is considered to be a joint provincial government-OAPSB responsibility.
The OAPSB training program is comprised of:
• Education-focussed conferences and seminars, featuring presentations by subject matter experts, panel discussions and interactive sessions
• Free 15-minute on-line e-learning sessions regarding the following legislative issues: o Introduction to the Police Services Act o The Major Stakeholders: The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services and Municipality, the Office of the Independent Police Review Director and the Ontario Civilian Police Commission o Leader roles and responsibilities o The role of a PSB member
• Free 2-3 hour classroom sessions available at zone meetings for no charge (self- study guides available for $50 per module or $150 for the full set of 5): o Accountability Framework o Policy & Governance Responsibilities of the Board o Contract Monitoring (section 10) o Budgeting (Section 31) o Strategic and Business Planning o Community / Public Relations
• Limited mentoring and advisory services are also offered by OAPSB

Correspondence from OAPSB Page 241 of 244 re: Police Governance Training Sent: December 12, 2011 10:34 PM Subject: Church Street Speeders
Seasons Greetings Gerry, Once again I am trying to draw your attention to the speeding problem on Church St. specifically between Don St. and Burke St. Holly Brice advised me in October that a speed limit sign would be erected on Church St between Cambridge and Don St. This has been done but it falls short of a solution to the problem. First of all the speed limit sign is positioned just before traffic has to stop at Don Street so it stands to reason that traffic will stop at the stop sign and the speed limit sign is somewhat moot.
In all of my previous correspondence in this matter, I thought that I was clear as to where the speeding problem occurs, namely between Don and Burke. Someone making the decision regarding speed limit signs should actually visit the street and see the situation as we see it. Once a vehicle leaves the stop sign at Don Street they are met with a downhill ride on new pavement for almost a kilometer which just calls for speed. Additionally, just south of Yeo Street the pavement narrows and bends which just adds to the excitement and need for speed. The area is an accident waiting to happen. Now that the snow season is upon us the street is even narrower but regardless of the snow the speeders are still there.
In observing the traffic, it appears that the offenders are employees and visitors to Waypoint and the Super Jail. In addition the Waypoint bus, construction trucks and taxis all speed both up and down the street. Local residents generally are not a problem on Church St.
I still believe that a stop sign at Yeo Street is the answer to controlling speed and safety on Church Street. I look forward to seeing some additional study and action on this problem.
On a happier note, the changes to the town's image are inspirational and you are to be congratulated on your efforts. Penetanguishene has never looked better. Great job.

Correspondence from Community Residents Page 242 of 244 re: Speeding on Church Street Sent: Sun 3/18/2012 5:11 PM Subject: Speeders at the end of Church Street
This email is addressed to those who are responsible for the safety of the residents and taxpayers of the Town of Penetanguishene. There is a serious and dangerous issue with people speeding on Church street between Broad street and the end of Church where the road travels into Waypoint. For many years and during the 8 years we have lived on this street, drivers have sped by our homes ,vehicles and pedestrians that live on the street, a street that has no sidewalks and no police presence. Having just avoided being almost run over by a vehicle speeding North to the Waypoint facility, it is time to raise and address this issue and put an end to a dangerous situation that will result in an accident and someone getting killed. Between the hours of 0600 and 0700 in the morning, and 1800 and 1900hrs in the evening, traffic at the end of this street increases with people heading to work at Waypoint and using Church street to enter the grounds of the facility. Many turn off of Broad street onto to Church heading for Waypoint. This is where the problems start. Many and I have witnessed a lot of people are speeding down the stree to get to work, after they turn off Broad st, they seem to just wind up the speed and as they go by the homes at the far end of the street , they are literally flying down the road and have to jam on the brakes as the make a short jog left, going up a small hill to enter the grounds at Waypoint. We have witnessed cars and trucks at high speed down this road both before the beginning of the shift and at the end of shift, they fly at high speeds back down the street. This has been a problem in the past where residents have complained to council and even sent a petition about the dangers of what is happening daily. Too many have told me of near misses, people going so fast they do not realize people on the side of the road walking and having to brake hard to miss the people walking because they cannot go around because of another vehicle coming the other way! These drivers are blowing horns at people on this street, flipping them the bird and evening telling them to get off the road, where there is no sidewalk, like they own the road because they are trying to get to work, they are late for work or trying to leave work. A resident mentioned that we can get the plate numbers of people racing to get to work, most of them are travelling to Waypoint and contact the security department at Waypoint who will speak to the drivers about their driving. I do not think that will work because the drivers, when confronted about their actions will deny it was them or ask for proof they were even speeding, but what is worse is that we cannot get their plate numbers because they are driving so fast we cant get a plate or description of the vehicle or we are too busy diving for the side of the road as we are forced farther off the side by people speeding or trying to avoid an accident getting out of own driveways as they drive around us, using the side of the road to get by. Many times I have backed out of our driveway, looked to my left up the hill for traffic leaving Waypoint, and by the time I am on the road, to travel on Church st, my rear view mirror is filled with a vehicle that flew down the road so fast and is now so close to my rear bumper, I cant even see the headlights let alone a license plate and it is the same with vehicles travelling to Waypoint going north on the street. Residents on this street have put up painted signs asking why people why wont they slow down, reminding drivers that we live here and if
Correspondence from Community Residents Page 243 of 244 re: Speeding on Church Street we could find out where you live , I would speed down your street to see if you like living dangerously, only to be ignored, and people keep speeding.
This is totally unacceptable!
A few years back , an OPP officer was living at a residence close to Broad street but parked his cruiser at the back of his driveway, out of sight for anyone to see it, this would have been a great deterrent to slow people down, but as for a police presence on this street, we see them once in the spring and once in the fall, they never patrol this street except when there is a noise complaint and someone has called them. If the Town is going to increase taxes because of an increase in police costs, I want to start seeing them on patrol in this town, there is never a car driving around , checking traffic, or patrolling problem areas with respect to drivers and or speeders, believe me I have looked for them in town. If it is a manpower issue or being away for other calls, then get more of a presence in town, we are paying for it and we should be seeing what we are paying for, safety for the people of the town who live in the town not just the inmates at the super jail, they don't pay the taxes for the police costs, we do, the residents who live on this street and put up with this danger twice a day almost everyday all year long.
If this street cannot have a police presence and deterrent during the problem hours that we put up with on this street then I suggest you close off the road at the grounds to Waypoint, there by making the traffic travel all the way up Broad st to Fuller avenue then to the Waypoint facility. I have been told that there has to be two entrances to Waypoint for emergency services vehicles to access the buildings so I guess closing it is not an option, so I guess it is time for the police to put a vehicle out on the street and start slowing these people down, because if not, the re will be emergency services vehicles on this street to attend to a crash or pedestrian accident because it is not a question of if something will happen but when. There have been too many close calls and near misses, not just with myself and my wife but also with the neighbours and people i have talked to on the stretch of road, they are frustrated too about this situation, and have been ignored by previous councils in the past who dismissed the concerns raised because they were told they could not get sidewalks put in to be safer or police are too busy to watch the road for an hour in the morning or night. Why is this? We pay taxes for police costs but see no police on the road, sidewalks, well that might impact properties and cause taxes to increase. The current mayor campainged on platinum taxes for bronze services, which is why I supported him into office to govern this town, now we want to see action, do something about this dangerous situation before some is seriously hurt or killed because being quoted in the paper as saying "we could of done something" instead of saying" we did do something" is doing too little too late!
