Regulation details and implementation dates remain unknown at this time, however local officers have begun training.

Greetings Members!
Please be advised of this new policy requirement, as outlined in MCSCS Zone Advisor Jeeti Sahota’s email below. Sample polices are attached. Hope this helps.
Fred Kaustinen Executive Director OAPSB
Policy regarding the use of board resources election period as per the Municipal Elections Act. The act states: Use of municipal, board resources 88.18 Before May 1 in the year of a regular election, municipalities and local boards shall establish rules and procedures with respect to the use of municipal or board resources, as the case may be, during the election campaign period. This requirement was added in 2016. As I understand it, a police services board is defined under the Municipal Affairs Act as a local board, and as such, the board would be required to have a policy in place.
Interpretation 1 (1) In this Act, “local board” means a municipal service board, transportation commission, public library board, board of health, police services board, planning board, or any other board, commission, committee, body or local authority established or exercising any power under any Act with respect to the affairs or purposes of one or more municipalities, excluding a school board and a conservation authority; (“conseil local”)
I have attached a couple of board policies for your reference.
Thank you Jeeti Sahota MCSCS Zone Advisor

Agenda New Board Policy — Use of Board Resources Item: During an Election Period
Recommendation:
That the Board adopt the proposed policy, “Use of Board Resources During an Election Period”.
Background:
The Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (the Act) was reviewed followingthe 2014 Municipal Election and a number of changes have been subsequently enacted. Section 88.18 of the amended Act requires Ontario municipalities to establish “rules and procedures with respect to the use of municipal or board resources, as the case may be, during the election campaign period.” Local boards, including police services boards, are required to follow this new process.
Discussion:
The proposed policy articulates in detail that facilities, infrastructure, equipment, supplies, services, staff or any resource that belongs to or is funded by the Board may not be used for the purposes of an election campaign or for any campaign-related activities. The proposed policy closely resembles the policy adopted by Regional Council and meets the requirements imposed by the changes to the Municipal Elections Act, 1996. MyZ/M7 Executive Director

SUBJECT: ELECTION-RELATED RESOURCES POLICY OBJET: POLITIQUE SUR LES RESSOURCES LIÉES AUX ÉLECTIONS
REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS That the Ottawa Police Services Board approve that the City’s Election-Related Resources Policy apply to the use of the Board’s resources during the 2018 municipal election campaign period. RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT
Que la Commission de services policiers d’Ottawa approuve que la Politique de la Ville sur les ressources liées aux élections s’applique à l’utilisation des ressources de la Commission lors de la période de campagne électorale municipale de 2018. BACKGROUND The Municipal Elections Modernization Act, 2016 requires municipalities and local boards to establish rules and procedures with respect to the use of municipal or board resources, as the case may be, during an election campaign period, by May 1, 2018. Subsection 1(1) of the Municipal Affairs Act provides the following definition of the term “local board”:
Page 33 of 93 2
“local board” means a school board, municipal service board, transportation commission, public library board, board of health, police services board, planning board, or any other board, commission, committee, body or local authority established or exercising any power or authority under any general or special Act with respect to any of the affairs or purposes, including school purposes, of a municipality or of two or more municipalities or parts thereof; As the Ottawa Police Services Board is subject to the MEA and encompassed by the definition of “local board” in the Municipal Affairs Act, it is required to establish rules and procedures with respect to the use of board resources by May 1. DISCUSSION The City of Ottawa has an Election-Related Resources Policy in place that applies to all Members of Council and City staff. Should the Board approve that the City’s Election- Related Resources Policy apply to its resources, those Councillors and staff serving on the Ottawa Police Services Board would follow the Policy as it relates to their office budgets and any city resources that are used. The Board has the option of producing its own separate policy for the use of board resources during a municipal election campaign period. However, given the comprehensiveness of the City’s policy and the short timeline to adopt a policy by the May 1 deadline, it is recommended that the Board adopt a motion that the City’s Election-Related Resources Policy applies to the Board for the 2018 municipal elections. By adopting the Policy it is understood that references made therein to “Members of Council”, “City staff”, “corporate resources”, “Member budgets”, apply to Board staff, resources, and budgets. CONSULTATION The Office of the City Clerk and Solicitor was consulted. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Not applicable. SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION Document 1 – City of Ottawa Election-Related Resources Policy CONCLUSION As per the Municipal Elections Modernization Act, 2016, the Board is required to establish rules and procedures with respect to the use of board resources during an
Page 34 of 93 3 election campaign period, by May 1, 2018. Adopting the City’s Election-Related Resources Policy would fulfill this requirement.

Document 1 Election-Related Resources Policy Department: City Clerk and Solicitor Department Branch: Legislative Services Authority/Approval Date: City Council, February 13, 2013 Effective Date: February 12, 2003 Revision Date: February 13, 2013 Purpose To provide direction to Members of Council and all City staff on the administration of Corporate resources and Members' budgets with respect to election-related matters. Principle In compliance with the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, public funds are not to be used for any election-related purposes, including the promotion of or opposition to the candidacy of a person for elected office. Policy Elements 1. DEFINITION
o For the purpose of this policy, “election-related purposes” refer to the occurrence of a municipal election or by-election. It also includes any participation in federal and provincial elections that is partisan in nature. 2. CAMPAIGN-RELATED MATERIALS a. At no time shall Corporate resources and/or Members' budgets be used to sponsor or produce any campaign-related materials. For the purposes of this clause, the phrase "campaign-related materials" means those materials that promote or oppose the candidacy of a person for elected office. Subject to Clause 2(b), this prohibition is not meant to restrict Members from routinely communicating with ward constituents via flyers, newsletters, householders or by e-mail. However, Members of Council are responsible for ensuring that any communications or activities funded by the City for each Member's office is not related to an election. b. In a municipal election year or in the event of a by-election, Corporate resources and Members' budgets are not to be used to sponsor any advertisements, flyers, newsletters or householders for the 60-day period prior to, and including, Voting Day. All communications must be delivered
Page 36 of 93 5
by the beginning of this period. This prohibition also applies to the use of any City equipment, facilities or websites if the access is City-sponsored. c. Notwithstanding Clause 2(b): i. Where an emergency occurs, a non-emergency related community issue arises or where an annual community event is held during the 60-day period prior to, and including, Voting Day, a Member of Council may use Corporate resources to advise or contact their ward constituents with the approval of the City Clerk and Solicitor; ii. The prohibitions set out in Clause 2(b) are not applicable where the City equipment, facilities or website access are available for such use by the public generally and the Member of Council is receiving no special preference with respect to its use; and iii. The prohibitions set out in Clause 2(b) are not applicable to a Member of Council who is acclaimed, or who is retiring from office and therefore not a candidate in the election. 3. STAFF INVOLVEMENT IN ELECTIONS
o In line with the City’s Employee Code of Conduct, City Staff are expected preserve the public trust and confidence in the City and apply the core values of the Code to their daily work. With respect to Elections, employees are expected to promote the principles of transparency, impartiality, respect and accountability as follows:
a. Employees engaged in political activities must take care to separate those personal activities from their official positions. Employees may participate in political activity at the federal, provincial and municipal levels providing that such activity does not take place during work hours or utilize City assets, resources, or property. Notices, posters or similar material in support of a particular candidate or political party are not to be displayed or distributed by employees on City work sites or on City property. b. Employees wishing to run for federal, provincial or municipal office must request, and obtain, a leave of absence without pay, and abide by the respective legislation governing such elections. c. Should an employee of a sitting Member of Council wish to run for election or by-election, that employee must begin the required leave of absence
Page 37 of 93 6
immediately upon certification of the nomination by the City Clerk or designate.
o Subsequently, all employee accesses, including email and security, related to the Member’s office will be suspended and all Corporate assets and resources, such as cell phones and electronic storage devices, utilized by the individual as a result of employment within the Councillor’s office must be returned immediately. 4. BUDGET ADMINISTRATION a. As approved by the Member Services Committee, in a municipal election year, a pro-rated portion of the annual budget for each Members’ office is to be reserved for the new term of Council. This means that up to 11/12 of the budget can be spent by the incumbent Member and 1/12 is to be reserved for the next term. The staff of the City Clerk's Office will monitor expenditures to assist each office in ensuring that the budget threshold is not exceeded. b. In the event of a ward or city-wide by-election, or an appointment for a position of Council, funds from the vacated Member’s office will be set aside on a pro-rated basis for the newly elected representative based on the start date of the new Member. c. Pursuant to Clause 4(b), any pre-committed funds and obligations, such as web hosting fees, will be brought to the attention of the City Clerk and Solicitor within 48 hours of the certification and will be addressed on a case-by-case basis. 5. ENFORCEMENT
o Should any written complaint arise regarding the alleged use of Members' budgets or other Corporate resources in contravention of this policy, the City Clerk and Solicitor, or his/her designate, shall have the delegated authority to investigate it and resolve any issues. If a breach of this policy is confirmed, the Member will be required to personally repay any of the costs associated with the breach.

Page 3 of 4
Page 46 of 93 A09-C-04 Use of Corporate Resources for Election Purposes
Limitation:
Nothing in this Policy shall preclude a Member of Council from performing their job as a Councillor, nor inhibit them from representing the interests of the constituents who elected them.
Implementation:
This policy shall become effective immediately upon approval by Municipal Council.
Rationale and Legislative Authority:
It is necessary to establish guidelines on the appropriate use of corporate resources during an election period to protect the interests of both the Members of Council and the Corporation. The Municipal Elections Act, 1996 prohibits a municipality from making a contribution to a candidate. The Act also prohibits a candidate, or someone acting on the candidate’s behalf, from accepting a contribution from a person who is not entitled to make a contribution.
As a contribution may take the form of money, goods or services, any use by a Member of Council of the Corporation’s resources for his or her election campaign would be viewed as a contribution by the Municipality to the Member, which is a violation of the Act.

Enhanced De-escalation and Use of Force Training to be Delivered Consistently across the Province
April 3, 2018 3:00 P.M.
Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services
Ontario is taking steps to implement a new police response framework that will help improve interactions with both vulnerable individuals, and the general public.
The new framework, which will be established by summer 2018, will guide the development of enhanced training for police officers and ensure de-escalation techniques are central to any police response - particularly when individuals in crisis are involved. The new model will also ensure that the enhanced training is delivered consistently across the province.
Developed in partnership with experts in mental health, addictions, psychology, civil liberties, policing, and anti-racism, as well as Indigenous partners, racialized populations, and individuals with lived experience, the framework will serve as the foundation for:
Developing new, evidence-based critical decision tools to guide police officers while performing their duties Designing a new training curriculum for annual police officer training and ensure consistent delivery across the province Transforming use of force and de-escalation training courses delivered by the Ontario Police College Establishing mandatory qualification requirements for trainers and competencies for police officers
This builds on the province's ongoing work to integrate de-escalation techniques into the training programs of new recruits. These actions are part of the province's plan to address the recommendations in the Ontario Ombudsman's 2016 report.
Page 59 of 93 Quick Facts
This work supports the government’s commitment to implementing recent inquest recommendations made in response to the deaths of Reyal Jardine Douglas, Sylvia Klibingaitis, Michael Eligon, Andrew Loku, and Michael MacIsaac. The changes to police training are led by an Executive Advisory Committee for strategic oversight and an Expert Technical Table for technical review. The province has engaged academics to conduct research to identify knowledge gaps regarding de-escalation practices, review the effectiveness of police training on de-escalation, and analyze Ontario’s current use of force model. The new police officer training will become effective upon the proclamation of the Safer Ontario Act. The Ontario Police College’s current de-escalation training emphasizes communication techniques: establishing rapport, conflict resolution and mediation, and threat management.

Quotes
“Police officers need to have the right supports to defuse crisis situations, and to do so as safely as possible. Our enhanced training makes de-escalation central to any police response. This new framework reinforces the importance of comprehensive education and training for new recruits and police officers that is delivered consistently across the province.”
Marie-France Lalonde
Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services
“As someone who has been personally affected by the tragedy of a police involved death, I feel this new framework is a step in the right direction. I have confidence in the province and look forward to seeing meaningful change in police interactions with the public.”

2018 BUDGET COMMUNITY SAFETY HIGHLIGHTS
(a synopsis of http://budget.ontario.ca/2018/budget2018-en.pdf )
Board Training The Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services remains committed to working with OAPSB and eventually with educational partners to develop and delivery effective board training. While this is not specifically mentioned in the budget, this messaging has been consistent for some months now (a very positive development after years of disinterest).
Expanding Access to Naloxone Naloxone, the overdose prevention drug, is now available free of charge at 2,390 participating pharmacies in nearly 260 cities and towns in the province. The government has distributed over 114,000 naloxone kits to date. The government is addressing demand for naloxone by expanding access through front-line community organizations, as well as offering naloxone to police and fire services. (P. 19)
Mental Health Starting in 2018, Ontario will invest an additional $1.8 billion over three years to expand services for people living with developmental disabilities, including (among many other initiatives):
Strengthening training for police and frontline justice sector workers to identify and potentially divert individuals with developmental disabilities from the justice system, directing them to more appropriate services when needed (p. 36)
Hiring additional staff, including 176 correctional officers, 15 dedicated discharge planners, 120 new health care staff and 44 probation and parole officers to support efficient delivery of evidence‐based services in the community
Investing in staff through enhanced training programs that include mandatory education on human rights, antiracism, cultural competency, Indigenous rights, mental health and correctional best practices;

Providing social navigators to support First Nation, Métis and Inuit people in connecting with culturally appropriate services to prevent re‐contact with the justice system
Expanding bail beds in northern, rural and remote communities to provide community- based supervision for higher needs individuals who would likely otherwise be held in cus tody pending resolution of their criminal charge
Building two new multi‐purpose correctional centres in Thunder Bay and Ottawa (p. 46)
Community Justice Centres Ontario is investing in Community Justice Centres (CJCs) to improve the delivery of justice to vulnerable accused people and their families by addressing the root causes of crime and criminal behaviour. (p. 37)
Ending Gender-Based Violence Key strategies and investments, include:
Domestic Violence Action Plan, which provides community supports for survivors and training for front-line workers and professionals, provides public education and im[roves Ontario’s criminal an family justice systems
It’s Never Okay: An Action Plan to Stop Sexual Violence and Harassment, which helps change attitudes, improve supports for survivors who come forward about abuse, and made workplaces and campuses safer and more responsive to complaints about sexual violence and harassment

It’s Never Okay: Ontario’s Gender‐Based Violence Strategy – up to $242 million over three years to help survivors and end the cycle of violence. (50-51)
Justice Sector Justice sector expense is expected to be $143 million higher, primarily due to resources for justice transformation including corrections reform and police oversight reform, increased post‐traumatic stress disorder costs for first responders, higher‐than‐expected bad debt related to unpaid fines, expansion of the Brampton Courthouse project, and increased demand for death i nvestigations. (p. 200)
Implementing Legalization of Cannabis In response to the federal decision to legalize recreational cannabis, Ontario has passed legislation to establish a safe and sensible framework within the province that protects youth and reduces harm. Ontario’s framework covers the sale, distribution, purchase, possession and consumption of cannabis in the province. Established as a Crown corporation and subsidiary of the LCBO, the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, operating as the Ontario Cannabis Store, will be responsible for new stand‐alone cannabis storefronts and an online distribution channel. Public health, road safety, education and law enforcement initiatives include:
Increasing the capacity of local law enforcement, including the Ontario Provincial Police, by funding sobriety field test training for police officers to help detect impaired drivers
Creating a specialized legal team to support drug‐impaired driving prosecutions
Increasing capacity at the province’s Centre of Forensic Sciences to support toxicological testing and expert testimony
Developing a program to divert youth involved in minor cannabis‐related offences away from the criminal justice system

Unregulated Tobacco Since 2008, the Ministry of Finance’s enforcement activities have resulted in penalties of more than $42.6 million assessed against retailers under the Tobacco Tax Act. In addition, more than 265 million untaxed cigarettes, 3.9 million untaxed cigars, and 196 million grams of untaxed fine cut or other tobacco products have been seized by the Ministry of Finance. New compliance measures include:
Proposing amendments to the Tobacco Tax Act to add penalty and offense provisions for failing to notify the Ministry of Finance prior to destroying raw leaf tobacco
Exploring the implementation of automated “track and trace” technology and services that will monitor the movement and location of raw leaf tobacco through the supply chain, reduce its diversion into the unregulated market, and make it easier for registrants to comply with regulatory requirements
Expanding the OPP-led Contraband Tobacco Enforcement Team to address linkages between organized crime and unregulated tobacco
Expanding its partnerships with regional and local police services by establishing a local law enforcement grants pilot project that will make funding available to law enforcement partners in support of tobacco investigations
Proposing an amendment to the Tobacco Tax Act that would allow the court to authoriz e the use of tracking devices in an investigation (p. 302-202)

Mr. Eli El-Chantiry Chair Ontario Association of Police Services Boards 180 Simcoe Street London ON N6B 1H9
Dear Mr. El-Chantiry:
I am pleased to share with you that Bill 175, the Safer Ontario Act, 2018, received Royal Assent on March 8, 2018.
The Safer Ontario Act, 2018, repeals and replaces Ontario’s Police Services Act, amends the Coroners Act, and creates, for the first time, the Missing Persons Act, 2018, and the Forensic Laboratories Act, 2018. It also creates new legislation related to the oversight of police, including the Police Oversight Act, 2018, the Ontario Policing Discipline Tribunal Act, 2018, and the Ontario Special Investigations Unit Act, 2018. These statutes fall under the purview of the Ministry of the Attorney General.
Passing this legislation is a momentous step for our government. It represents the first comprehensive review of the Police Services Act since 1990 and the largest policing transformation in a generation. The changes support our goal to build a proactive, sustainable and effective model of policing in Ontario.
The Police Services Act, 2018, will modernize our approach to community safety by mandating municipalities to undertake local community safety and well-being planning, improve police oversight, transparency and accountability, enhance civilian governance and respond to the needs and realities of Ontario's diverse communities.
The majority of provisions in the Police Services Act, 2018, will come into force on January 1, 2020. Sections 32 and 77 of the Act, related to constituting First Nation police service boards, will come into force on January 1, 2019. Until this time, the current legislative framework of the Police Services Act remains in force.
I want to thank the Ontario Association of Police Services Boards for advocating on behalf of your members and for recommending changes to help achieve our shared goal of a safer Ontario. I am pleased that we were able to work together to address some of the issues you previously raised and included in your submission to the Standing Committee on Justice Policy.

Mr. Eli El-Chantiry Page 2
Recognizing that police service boards play an important role in establishing policies governing police in their communities, we amended the legislation to enable boards to make policies with respect to the deployment of members of the police service while being prohibited from developing policies or providing direction on the conduct of specific operations or specific investigations. This authority will support police service boards in providing strong and consistent civilian governance over policing in local communities and across the province.
In response to your position on collective agreement negotiations, an amendment was made to enable legal counsel and advisors to the bargaining committee and to the police service board to conduct bargaining sessions on behalf of the bargaining committee and police service board. This amendment will provide police service boards and bargaining committees increased flexibility and choice in relation to who participates and conducts bargaining sessions.
Additionally, to enhance good governance and accountability, board members will be required to complete training associated with governance before they exercise their board responsibilities. Board members will also be required to complete training that promotes and recognizes the diverse, multiracial and multicultural character of Ontario society, and the rights and cultures of First Nation, Inuit and Métis peoples.
I look forward to working together to develop the regulations required to bring these changes into effect and continuing our dialogue to ensure that Ontario’s approach to policing aligns with community needs.
Thank you again for your support and ongoing efforts to build safer, stronger communities in Ontario.
Sincerely,
Marie-France Lalonde Minister

5. Ministry Report – Ministry Advisor
The Safer Ontario Act and Police Services Act 2018
- On November 2, 2017, The Hon. Marie-France Lalonde moved first reading of Bill 175 (as a Government Bill), An Act to implement measures with respect to policing, coroners and forensic laboratories and to enact, amend or repeal certain other statutes and revoke a regulation, in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. - Bill 175 contains various proposed Acts, including the Police Services Act, 2018, which represents the largest policing and public safety transformation in a generation. - On March 8, 2018, the Safer Ontario Act, 2018, received Royal Assent. For the most part, new Acts and amendments to existing Acts found in the Schedules to the Safer Ontario Act, 2018, will come into force on dates proclaimed by the Lieutenant Governor. - Before the legislation is proclaimed and becomes law, a collection of supporting regulations must be developed. The ministry will continue to seek input from our partners on this critical next phase of work. - The official version of the PSA can be viewed online at: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/18p03a. Police Service Boards - The PSA will enable boards to make policies relating to the police service or the provision of policing, including the deployment of members, while establishing a prohibition on policies regarding the conduct of specific operations or specific investigations.
OAPSB Zone 5 Minutes - 3 - Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Page 72 of 93
- Police service boards will be required to publish their policies and directions to a chief of police in accordance with the regulations. This legislative clarification will support strong and consistent civilian governance over policing in local communities and across the province while safeguarding the independence of specific police operations and specific investigations. - All board members will be required to complete training within a prescribed timeframe, including training with respect to human rights and systemic racism, and the rights and cultures of Ontario’s First Nation, Inuit and Métis peoples. - Other requirements include: strengthening reporting requirements for boards; requiring the municipal council to develop a diversity plan to help ensure that members of a police services board are representative of their community; and increasing the minimum and maximum board size based on local needs. - The legislation also expands the list of circumstances prohibiting individuals from becoming board members to ensure the integrity of civilian governance. - With respect to collective agreement negotiations, the legislation enables police service boards and bargaining committees to rely on legal counsel and advisors to participate in or conduct bargaining sessions. First Nations Policing - The PSA introduces a legislative framework for a First Nation band council to request that the Minister constitute a First Nation board to provide adequate and effective policing in a First Nation reserve or any other specified area. - A First Nation police service board will have all the same duties and powers as a municipal police services board. This will help ensure First Nation communities are provided with comparable choices on how their policing is provided and will support First Nation police services in providing equitable police services to the communities they serve. - The PSA acknowledges the importance of First Nation band by-laws by enabling the ministry to prescribe by-laws that should be incorporated into adequate and effective policing. The ministry will work closely with First Nation partners to identify and address these requirements. Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Governance - The legislation strengthens civilian governance for the OPP by establishing the Ontario Provincial Police Governance Advisory Council to advise the Minister on her powers with respect to the OPP. - The legislation also recognizes the importance of local governance for the OPP by creating OPP detachment boards and empowering them to determine objectives and priorities for the detachment within the parameters of the statute. Further, in recognizing that there are unique geographic differences among municipalities in Ontario, such as those in the north, the legislation offers flexibility to address local circumstances. - Additionally, the new PSA provides a legislative framework for First Nation band councils to enter into agreements with the Minister for the provision of policing by the OPP. - It provides a mechanism by which a First Nation band council can request the Minister to constitute a First Nation OPP board to oversee policing provided by the OPP, pursuant to an agreement with the Minister. OAPSB Zone 5 Minutes - 4 - Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Page 73 of 93
Core Duties and Special Constables - The new legislation clarifies the core functions of a police service while placing parameters around the delivery of policing functions by for-profit entities. - In a related step, the legislation modernizes the special constable program to provide a more robust regulatory structure regarding special constables and their employers where the special constables are not employed in a police service Inspector General of Policing - The legislation provides the power to ensure that police services are delivering policing in compliance with the Act, which includes establishing an Inspector General of Policing to oversee and monitor, among others, police services and police service boards against standards in the new PSA. - The Inspector General of Policing will have a broad mandate to ensure the delivery of adequate and effective policing, including compliance with any regulated conflict of interest standards, as well as the power to receive and review complaints against board members and other policing complaints. Accommodation of Disability Needs - While the PSA introduces changes to the accommodation of disability needs provisions, it does not affect the current duty to accommodate a member of a police service in accordance with the Ontario Human Rights Code. - The legislation builds fair labour practices and due process for labour issues through a number of procedural changes and the ability to collectively bargain working conditions for accommodation of disability needs. Suspension Without Pay - To improve accountability to the public, new provisions will broaden the circumstances for unpaid suspensions, and provide clarity on the notification process and hearings available to affected police officers. - The standard of proof for police disciplinary hearings will be “a balance of probabilities”, which is consistent with normal labour relations practices. Provincial Board Member Re-Appointments - All reappointments undergo a process of review, and are not automatic. - The ministry requests the submission of a reappointment application if members are interested in being considered. For all appointments and reappointments, following the review process, successful appointees will always receive a new legal appointment via Order In Council. - When provincial appointments are made by the Lieutenant Governor In Council (LGIC), the completed Order in Council (OIC) is provided to the successful applicant and the board. The OIC confirms the date until which the appointment is effective. - Appointments are made by the LGIC are effective only in accordance with the terms of the written OIC instrument creating the appointment. This generally means that the expiry of the member’s term also results in the expiry of their right to sit as a member of a police services board. Under section 27(10) of the PSA, if the position of a member appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council becomes vacant (i.e. lapses), the
OAPSB Zone 5 Minutes - 5 - Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Page 74 of 93
Solicitor General may appoint a replacement to act until the Lieutenant Governor in Council makes a new appointment. - There is no provision which permits persons with lapsed appointments to continue without temporary appointment by the Solicitor General or a renewed appointment by the LGIC. - As of January 11, 2018, the ministry is seeking candidates for 17 board vacancies and 42 candidates are in process to be appointed. Major Case Management Inspection - Major Case Management (MCM) Regulation 354/04 sets out procedures on and processes for undertaking and managing investigations into major cases in accordance with the MCM Manual. - The regulation also requires that police services use the ministry approved software, PowerCase, for managing major case investigations. - The Ministry is currently conducting a focused inspection on the MCM Regulation. - The following criteria offences are deemed to be major cases: o homicides within the meaning of subsection 222 (4) of the Criminal Code (Canada) and attempted homicides, o sexual assaults, including sexual interference, and attempted sexual assaults, sexual exploitation and invitation to sexual touching, o non-familial abductions and attempted non-familial abductions, o missing person occurrences where circumstances indicate a strong possibility of foul play, o occurrences, involving found human remains, that are suspected to be homicide, o criminal harassment where the harasser is not known to the victim, and o any other types of cases designated as a major case pursuant to the Ontario Major Case Management Manual. - The scope of the inspection will be limited to the following three criteria offences: o homicides within the meaning of subsection 222 (4) of the Criminal Code (Canada) and attempted homicides, o sexual assaults, including sexual interference, and attempted sexual assaults, sexual exploitation and invitation to sexual touching, and o criminal harassment where the harasser is not known to the victim. - As referenced in the All Chiefs Memorandum, 17-0078, the inspection of the MCM Regulation includes a two-pronged approach beginning with a review of closed 2016 investigations entered in PowerCase and analysis of data from the Service’s Records Management System (RMS). - The inspection notice was issued to all municipal police services at the end of January 2018. Three services agreed to participate in the pilot phase of the inspection (Hamilton, South Simcoe, Strathroy-Caradoc).

Community Safety and Well-Being Planning - As part of the legislative changes under the Safer Ontario Act, 2018, community safety and well-being (CSWB) planning is being mandated to municipalities to ensure a holistic approach in the development and implementation of multi-sector strategies to address crime and complex social issues on a sustainable basis. - Municipalities will be responsible for developing and adopting CSWB plans with a requirement for police service board involvement. First Nation communities are also being encouraged to engage in the CSWB planning process but will not be required by legislation. - Municipalities will have two years from the date the legislation is proclaimed to come into force (January 1, 2019) to develop and adopt their first CSWB plan. - On November 10, 2017, the Ministry released the Community Safety and Well-Being Planning Framework: A Shared Commitment in Ontario booklet, which is the third and final phase of the Provincial Approach to Community Safety and Well-Being (Provincial Approach) and represents the cornerstone of the Ministry’s Strategy for a Safer Ontario. - A Shared Commitment in Ontario provides guidance to municipalities, First Nations communities and their partners as they engage in CSWB planning and collaborative service delivery at the local level. o The booklet outlines the CSWB Planning Framework and includes a toolkit of practical guidance to assist communities as they develop and implement local CSWB plans. Specifically, the Framework encourages communities to work collaboratively across sectors to identify local priority risks to safety and well- being and implement evidence-based strategies to address those risks, with a focus on social development, prevention and risk intervention. - All three booklets that have been developed as part of the Provincial Approach are available on the Ministry’s website: o Crime Prevention in Ontario: A Framework for Action - http://www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/sites/default/files/content/mcscs/docs/ec157730.p df o Community Safety and Well-Being: A Snapshot of Local Voices - http://www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/sites/default/files/content/mcscs/docs/ec167634.p df o Community Safety and Well-Being Planning Framework: A Shared Commitment in Ontario - http://www.mcscs.jus.gov.on.ca/sites/default/files/content/mcscs/docs/Booklet%2 03%20English%20accessible%20Final.pdf Grants Proceeds of Crime – Front-Line Policing Grant - For the first time since its inception, the Ministry is extending the Proceeds of Crime – Front-line Policing (POC FLP) Grant from a one-year program to a two-year program. - The Call for applications was issued at the end of November 2017 and is now closed (as of December 22, 2017).

Safer and Vital Communities (SVC) Grant - The SVC Grant provides one-time funding to incorporated non-profit community-based organizations as well as First Nations Chiefs and Band Councils to implement local community safety and well-being projects. o Applicants are required to demonstrate police involvement in their projects and to partner with at least one organization in a sector different from their own. - The focus of the SVC Grant is consistently on community safety and well-being, however, the specific theme may vary from time to time depending on the Ministry’s priorities. Up until 2014-15, the SVC Grant was issued on an annual basis. The call for applications is now issued every two years. o For the 2016-17/2017-18 grant cycle, the grant funded 25 community projects, with a total allocation of $1.7M over two years. o The call for applications for the 2018-19/2019-20 grant cycle was issued at the end of November 2017, and applications were due to the Ministry at the end of January 2018.

Applications exceeding this amount in either year will not be considered. Policing Effectiveness and Modernization (PEM) Grant - In 2017/18, the Ministry introduced the PEM grant to support initiatives that improve the effectiveness, efficiency and modernization of policing services. - The PEM grant is a transitional program for police services/boards who participated under the PAVIS, TAVIS, CPP and 1,000 Officers programs, as the ministry moves towards a future outcomes-based grant program that aligns with the Strategy for a Safer Ontario.
OAPSB Zone 5 Minutes - 8 - Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Page 77 of 93
- In 2017/18, police services/boards were provided the choice to apply for funding under the PEM grant based on local need or receive funding under the previous policing grants with traditional requirements (e.g. eligibility, reporting). o In 2017/18, there were 15 police services/boards that applied for the PEM grant and 76 police services/boards that continued with the traditional policing grant programs. - To continue to ease the transition from the traditional grant programs, in 2018/19, police services/boards were again provided the choice to apply for funding under the PEM grant or stay with the previous policing grants. Police services/boards may receive up to the full amount of funding they were allocated under PAVIS, CPP, 1,000 Officers or PEM grant in 2017/18. o In 2017/18, there were 25 police services/boards that applied for the PEM grant. Applications for the 2018/19 fiscal year were due to the Ministry on January 19, 2018. All applications have been evaluated by a Review Committee, and are currently in the final stages of review in order to begin the approvals process. - The 2018/19 fiscal year will be the last year that the Ministry offers the PAVIS, CPP and 1,000 Officers grants. In future years, the Ministry will be moving towards the full transition from the traditional policing grants to supporting outcomes-based community safety and well-being initiatives. Supporting Police Response to Sexual Violence and Harassment Grant - In March 2015, the Ontario government released It's Never Okay, a three-year, $41M Action Plan to stop sexual violence and harassment in Ontario. - In response to the Action Plan, the ministry has been focused on developing tools and resources to help ensure police are equipped to provide a compassionate and effective response when dealing with incidents of sexual violence and harassment. - In 2016-17, the ministry launched a new grant program called Supporting Police Response to Sexual Violence and Harassment. The grant is available to police services across Ontario, including First Nations police services, to implement projects that support a more compassionate and sensitive response from law enforcement when dealing with incidents of sexual violence and harassment. - As part of the first call for applications, the ministry invested almost $1.8M over two years in support of 15 projects that focus on taking a survivor-centred approach to police response to incidents of sexual violence and harassment. - It is anticipated the next call for applications will be issued in the upcoming months. Constable Joe Macdonald Public Safety Officers’ Survivors Scholarship Fund (CJMPSOSSF): - The ministry recently issued the call for applications via an All Chief’s Memo for the 2018/19 Constable Joe MacDonald Public Safety Officers’ Survivors Scholarship Fund (CJMPSOSSF).

OAPSB Zone 5 Minutes - 9 - Tuesday, March 6, 2018
Page 78 of 93
- The scholarship may be used for tuition, textbooks and eligible living expenses for programs leading to a degree or a diploma at an approved Canadian post-secondary educational institution up to a maximum of five years. - For the purposes of the CJMPSOSSF, a public safety officer may include a municipal or provincial police officer; First Nations constable; auxiliary member of a police force or special constable (acting with the authority of a police officer at the time of his/her death); firefighter; correctional officer; probation officer; parole officer; or youth worker.

It is anticipated that the next call for applications will be issued in April 2018. - The R.I.D.E. Grant is available to municipal and First Nations police services, as well as OPP municipal contract locations. - It is expected that in addition to the R.I.D.E. Grant funding, successful applicants also engage in their own routine spot checks. This funding must be used exclusively for sworn officers' overtime or paid duty assignments. Standard Field Sobriety Test (SFST) Training Update - On February 20, 2018 an All Chiefs memo was sent out (ACM 18-0014) with an update on MCSCS’ commitment to train 1500 officers in Standard Field Sobriety Testing by July 1, 2018 in preparation for the federal legalization of cannabis. - Training began in November 2017 and, to date, 258 officers have successfully completed the course and 21 instructors have been trained. - The Ontario Police College (OPC) is coordinating SFST training and has worked with police services to develop a schedule to meet each organization’s needs (attached to ACM 18-0014). - SFST training is offered to police officers at no cost – The ministry will reimburse police services for all candidates’ travel, meals and accommodation expenses. Salary and overtime costs will not be reimbursed. - The ministry requests police services to continue to provide SFST instructors to help facilitate our training initiatives. If instructors are provided to OPC, the ministry will reimburse police services for travel, meal and accommodation expenses incurred by these instructors as well as offer a $600 per diem for the duration of the course to offset their salary costs. - For questions about reimbursement, please contact Paul Hebert, A/Director – OPC, at [email protected] or (519) 773-4200. - The ministry is developing a long term plan for building road side detection capacity beyond July 1, 2018. A survey was sent out in the ACM requesting each police service complete with their information by March 2, 2018. That information will now be used to ensure the ministry is able to accurately assess the numbers of SFST and Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) officers that will be required over the next five years.

Guelph
- Report submitted for inclusion - Over the past year, the Guelph Police Services Board has celebrated with and congratulated 13 of our members as they enter retirement from policing, and has also welcomed another 15 new recruits. - After a successful presentation of the Guelph Police Services Board 2018 Capital Budget of $1,115,000 and 2018 Operating Budget of $40,228,100, both were approved by City Council in November 2017. - Mr. David Lee, Director of the University of Guelph Campus Police provided an annual report to the Board. From May 2016 to May 2017, calls for service at the University increased 16% and reportable incidents increased 14% from the previous year, attributable to more prudent reporting. While alcohol offences increased, hate activity and general mischief and property damage declined. Mental Health incidents increased due to the Ministry’s commitment to students to have more mental health services available to them. A mutual assistance agreement with the City of Guelph is being developed to line up with the University’s emergency protocols. In light of the recent shootings at various educational institutions in the States, a lock down procedure is being developed and instituted. - The University and Guelph Police Service are working together well in advance to formulate a plan for St. Patrick’s Day festivities in light of the events that took place on Chancellor’s Way during Homecoming this year. After a lot of work conducted by Sergeant Lester Tang, and working with the provincial prosecutor and the University of Guelph, several charges of nuisance were laid against the organizers regarding the Chancellor’s Way party during Homecoming. Meetings have been held with the City, the University, municipal politicians, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission, and south-end community groups to make sure the right pieces are in place. 40-50 officers will be added that day and there will be messaging from Mayor and Chief of strict enforcement at the outset. An Incident Command structure will have Inspectors in charge to monitor activities and to ensure the Service meets the community’s expectations. There will be a significant cost to this operation. - The Guelph Police Services Board is in the final year of the current Business Plan. Highlights for the last six months include the launch of Mental Health Screener tool, which digitalizes the mental health screening form and assists with determining what police involvement should be on a mental health call, and reduces wait times at the hospital. School-based youth programs have been very successful, as well as several projects in collaboration with the City on road safety. The issue of stolen bikes continues to be a problem in the community. A bike registry, modeled after Victoria, B.C.’s registry, will be set up in the spring. - The Guelph Police Services Board maintains a Community Account, and pursuant to the Police Services Act, monies from the sale of stolen or abandoned property can be used by the board for any purpose that it considers in the public interest. In 2017, the Board distributed over $12,000 to various community not-for-profit organizations and police groups for causes that promoted community safety and wellness. - In 2017, the Guelph Police Service received a record number of Freedom of Information requests, and increase of 12%, from 417 requests in 2016 to 467 requests in 2017. An increasing number of other requests that fall outside of MFIPPA were also received, such as court orders and requests from Family and Children’s Services. Over the last three years, with the FOI position staffed on a full-time basis, compliance rates have improved from 23% to nearly 100%. The average response time for 2017 was 19 days, which is the best average response time that the Guelph Police Service has every achieved. OAPSB Zone 5 Minutes - 12 - Tuesday, March 6, 2018

- The Guelph Police Services Board received a report from the Community Volunteer Patrol for 2017. The Community Volunteer Patrol is made up of individuals who actively patrol neighbourhoods and work in conjunction with the police to report suspicious activity or to assist police with their programs for crime prevention. Most volunteers are 25 to 30 years of age. They conduct a bike pickup of abandoned bicycles every Sunday morning. In 2017, they conducted 48 patrols with over 600 man hours, and 52 bike pickup shifts with over 100 man hours. This program has been of great assistance to the Guelph Police Service.

Saugeen Shores
- Saugeen Shores forwarded a report for inclusion - Our new chief, Michael Bellai, is doing a great job of fitting in with the service and making connections with various organizations in the community. - Chief Bellai has met with OPP’s Provincial Liaison Team and will be meeting with representatives of Saugeen First Nations and the PLT in the future. The Chief has also held meetings with OPP and hospital management from Bruce and Grey Counties to continue to discuss a mental health protocol that encompasses both counties. - Chief Bellai attended the recent Leadership Table meeting where discussions took place around cannabis education sessions for parents and youth allies. It was a comprehensive update on the integration of local mental health and addiction services. In addition, Chief Bellai will also have a seat at the opioid strategy leadership table. - Chief Bellai met with the coordinator of Violence Prevention Grey/Bruce, Jon Farmer, to discuss education and awareness relating to human trafficking strategies. - The Saugeen Shores Police Service has posted an advertisement looking to hire a constable fourth class to start Police college in October, 2018. - The Police Services Board received an excellent report about our Auxiliary Service at our March meeting. The Auxiliary contributed a total of 1317 hours over the past year. The hours were booked down as follows: 974.5 hours on patrol 142.0 hours at community events 13.5 hours at meetings 187.0 hours of training - Saugeen Shores is continuing in the process of developing plans for our new police facility. The building team has been meeting bi-weekly and costing and commissioning consultants have been selected and have been engaged in the process
South Huron

Page 82 of 93
- Informal setting allowing the community an opportunity to discuss various issues that were concerning to them - Felt event was very successful however due to the winter storm, may have affected attendance - Will continue to roll out this event throughout the County - Will do again in 3 or 4 months – great event to create education and awareness - Duane Sprague, Police Services Advisor attended our January meeting to provide training and an overview of Section 10 Board responsibilities - Election of Officers – Jim Dietrich remains the Chair of the South Huron Police Services Board - Huron County OPP led all West Region Detachments with 234 RIDE events during the campaign - Huron County OPP and Huron County Paramedic Services announced the launch to Project Lifesaver on Wednesday, January 17, 2018 - Primary goal is to provide a timely response to save lives and reduce the potential for injury for adults and children who may wander due to Alzheimer’s, Autism, Down syndrome, Acquired Brain injury and other cognitive conditions - Project Lifesaver Huron uses radio frequency technology to assist in locating individuals who may wander off. Pre-registered clients wear a one ounce transmitter, similar to a wristwatch that emits a signal every second. If the person goes missing their caregiver calls 9-1-1 and indicates that they are registered with Project Lifesaver Huron. Trained OPP officers respond to the client’s last known location and begin searching for the lost client. Each transmitter has its own unique frequency. The technology is proven to be very reliable and very effective. Worldwide Project Lifesaver has assisted in over 3,300 rescues - There is a one-time set up fee of $400.00 per unit and a monthly fee of $10.00. It is because of the generosity of corporate partners such as Bruce Power & Goderich Place that the fees are nominal
Waterloo
- Report submitted for inclusion - Tom Galloway was re-elected as Chair and Phil Huck was elected as Vice Chair of the Waterloo Regional Police Services Board for 2018. - The Board received the 2017 Overdose Report. In 2017, Waterloo Region saw 71 deaths related to an opioid overdose. It is expected that the opioid overdose trend will continue to rise in 2018. One police seizure of 1.5 kg of Fentanyl, made in October 2017, led to a noticeable decrease in overdoses with no fatalities, for the following two-week period. Overdose rates returned to the trend but indicated we can make significant disruptions and dents in the supply chain, temporarily. - In 2014, the Board approved the deployment of Conducted Energy Weapons (CEW) to all frontline officers. Full deployment was phased in over a three year period. The 2017 Use of Force report shows that in comparing handgun use in 2017 to 2016, there has been a significant decrease not only in situations where officers were required to draw their handgun, but also in situations when their firearm was required to be pointed at a person. In 2017, handguns were drawn 42.5% less and pointed 49% less than in 2016. As expected, the full deployment of CEWs has made a significant impact in reducing the use of handguns.
