Career Development Bureau recognized the contribution of Constable Bob Sewell in their recent OPP Poster Competition. The purpose of the program is to strengthen the relationship between youth and police personnel and attract youth to a potential career in policing. This competition was aimed at Grade 3 students from schools across Ontario. The Bureau recognized the intricate role he played in the success of this event and identifies him as a true organizational ambassador. Community Services Detachment May: Initiatives Crime Initiative: Although the theft of a bicycle may seem like a minor crime to some, it certainly isn’t from the perspective of the victim. Bike owners can do several things to protect their bike against theft. • If your bicycle is high value think about obtaining insurance coverage or at least enhancing your home policy for include your unusually valuable bicycle.
• Consider registering your bike if a program is available in your community but at the very least record the serial number, a description and photograph.
• Consider marking the bicycle in several spots with a security mark or label. A personal number like a licence plate or driver’s licence number can be used and at least one should be clearly visible. • Purchase a good quality lock and keep your bike locked whenever you leave it unattended. Lock it or Lose it! Many bikes are stolen from the owner’s property so where possible, in addition to locking the bike, store it indoors or in a locked shed or garage. When away from home, try to lock the bike to a fixed object in an area that is clearly visible to the general public.
Traffic Initiative: Effective May 1st new regulations came into force under the HTA regarding drivers that register a roadside breath reading within the “warn range”. The new regulations authorize a police officer to immediately suspend the licence of any driver when he or she

Page 13 of 116 Report Grey County Ontario Provincial Police
Grey Highlands Police Services Board Report
provides a sample that registers in the warn range. These new suspensions are recorded and tracked by the MTO. The duration of the suspension is three days for the first incident, seven days for the second incident and 30 days for the third and subsequent incidents within a five year period. A driver involved in repeated incidents is also subject to increased sanctions administered by the MTO.
June: Crime Initiative: An incident involving the deliberate removal of stop signs, investigated this spring by our officers, probably did not seem like a very serious act to the persons involved. However, such acts of mischief where the mischief causes actual danger to life could result in life imprisonment. Mischief involving the destruction of property over $5,000 may be liable to 10 years in prison and less that $5,000 results in a maximum sentence of 2 years.
Traffic Initiative: Constable Starr prepared a release dealing with Bicycle and Motor Vehicle Safety. It is the responsibility of both parties to share the roadway. Cyclists are to travel in single file as close as practicable to the right edge of the pavement. Motorists are required to use care when overtaking vehicles and allow as much space as possible between the car and the cyclist. Both must obey the rules of the road that pertain to vehicles under the Highway Traffic Act. Common sense by both parties and the voluntary compliance of our laws by all road users is the cornerstone for everyone’s safety Enforcement Location By- Seatbelt Speed Rules Other Current YTD Law Month May Provincial 1 35 2 6 44 227 Markdale 2 5 3 10 61 Municipality 6 56 10 19 91 528 Enforcement Location By- Seatbelt Speed Rules Other Current YTD Law Month June Provincial 31 6 4 41 268 Markdale 2 1 2 3 8 69 Municipality 4 80 10 12 106 634 Financial May Overtime: Impaired 11.25 hours Assault 8.25 hours MHA 6.0 hours Suicidal Person 2.25 hours Provincial Statutes 1.5 hours

Page 36 of 116 Grey Highlands Alcohol Policy Smart Serve training is available on-line. You will have 30 days to complete the course. The training includes a two-hour test with 25 multiple-choice questions. You receive your results immediately and if you were successful a certification card is mailed to your home. If you have questions or require information regarding the on-line course (and Smart Serve Training Kits) call Smart Serve Ontario, toll-free at 1-877-620-6082 or visit their website a www.smartserve.ca.
11. Security/operational plan The Sponsor, if determined necessary by the Municipality, through Council, shall submit a security/operational plan when an event is classified as a high risk or major event. Such security/operational plan may be approved by Council in consultation with outside agencies. All costs associated with the security/operational plan shall be borne by the Sponsor.
12. Important facts about alcohol and controlling consumption Non-alcohol beverages must be made readily available throughout the duration of the event and at a cost significantly lower than drinks containing alcohol.
Sponsors must ensure that a variety of low-alcohol ‘lite’ beverages are available. Low-alcohol beverages are the ‘smart choice’ to help control and prevent intoxication. They provide responsible patrons with an opportunity to consume less alcohol and avoid becoming intoxicated at an accelerated rate. For example, a patron consuming a regular beer at 5% alcohol would have to drink two ‘extra light’ beer at 2.5% alcohol to ingest the same amount of pure alcohol. ‘Lite’ beer at 4% alcohol represents a 20% reduction in pure alcohol intake than a regular beer.
The Municipality supports the serving of a ‘standard drink’ as a measure to gauge alcohol consumption.
The Standard Drink 12 oz or 341 ml. of beer with 5% alcohol 5 oz or 142 ml. of wine with 12% alcohol 1 ½ oz or 43 ml. of spirits with 40% alcohol
Each of these standard drinks has 0.6 ounces or 17 ml. of pure alcohol that has similar effects on the body.
Many alcohol products contain a higher pure alcohol content than a ‘standard drink’. These products are considered to be ‘fortified’. Sponsors and servers are strongly discouraged from serving ‘fortified’ alcohol products and must be aware of the following: ‚ Beer products with more than 5% alcohol, wine products with more than 12% alcohol and spirits with more than 40% alcohol, are considered ‘fortified’ alcohol products. ‚ Many coolers and beer products are ‘fortified’, check the pure alcohol content before serving.
2008.12.08 Page 8 of 22
Page 37 of 116 Grey Highlands Alcohol Policy ‚ ‘Fortified’ products have a greater alcoholic content and patrons must be made aware these products will lead to accelerated adverse alcohol effects on the body. ‚ You are responsible to closely monitor and limit the consumption of ‘fortified’ alcohol products by patrons.
Controls to limit consumption:
‚ If alcohol beverage tickets are sold, the sale of a maximum of five (5) tickets per person will be permitted at one time. ‚ The Sponsor shall allow the redemption of unused tickets for cash on demand at any time during the event. ‚ Sponsors are encouraged to limit the number of free drinks provided to guests during an ‘open bar’ event to two (2) drinks per person. ‚ That a maximum of two (2) drinks be sold/served to one person at any one time. ‚ Prohibit ‘last calls’ and announcements prior to the end of the event that advise patrons the bar is about to close, in order to control drink stocking within the last minutes of the event. ‚ Better quality premium drink brands encourage guests to sip and savour their drink rather than ordering multiple lesser-priced drinks. ‚ In order to reduce the risk of intoxication and the rate of consumption, Sponsors must supply food sufficient to serve the persons attending the event. Serving food is one of the best ways to lower the risk of becoming intoxicated. Not only does food delay the absorption of alcohol into the blood, but it generally takes longer to drink while you are eating. Sponsors are strongly encouraged to offer food throughout the event, rather than just a buffet at midnight, to ensure your guests are not drinking on an empty stomach. Pizza slices, sandwiches, soups, vegetable dishes, hot dogs or hamburgers are considered substantial food types. Snacks such as chips, pretzels, and peanuts are not considered food and due to salt intake increase the rate of consumption.
Prior to the event, the Sponsor will be requested to provide the Municipality with a copy of the Special Occasion Permit

Your Planning Guide for Hosting an Event
The Municipality of Grey Highlands promotes the health and safety of guests at events held on Municipal premises. If you're holding an event on Municipal premises, you have many responsibilities. For example, when you apply for a Special Occasion Permit you agree to be held legally responsible for the safety and sobriety of your guests. As the Sponsor, you and your group can be held liable for injuries and damages arising from failure to adhere to the Liquor License Act of Ontario. These infractions include serving someone to intoxication, serving someone who is already intoxicated, serving minors, and failing to prevent impaired individuals from driving. This step-by-step Planning Guide will help you plan and run your event, provide you with information to control liability, prevent dangerous situations from occurring and how to promote low-risk drinking practices.
The Municipality of Grey Highlands wants your event to be a successful celebration.
If there are any discrepancies between the provisions provided in this Guide and the Municipal Alcohol Policy, the Municipal Alcohol Policy will prevail.

T Obtain an Special Occasion Permit/Catering Endorsement from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario and show proof of this to the Municipal Booking Representative prior to the event. Failure to provide this documentation will result in you not being permitted to serve alcohol at your event.
T The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario will advise you when Grey Highlands Departments require notification of your event. If the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario advised you to contact any of the following departments, the contact information is being provided to assist you:

T Complete, sign and return the attached Acknowledgment Statement to the Municipal Booking Representative booking your event.
Important facts about alcohol and controlling consumption
Non-alcohol beverages must be made readily available throughout the duration of the event and at a cost significantly lower than drinks containing alcohol. Ensure that a variety of low-alcohol 'lite' beverages are available. Low-alcohol beverages are the 'smart choice' to help control and prevent intoxication. They provide responsible patrons with an opportunity to consume less alcohol and avoid becoming intoxicated at an accelerated rate. For example, a patron consuming a regular beer at 5% alcohol would have to drink two 'extra light' beer at 2.5% alcohol to ingest the same amount of pure alcohol. 'Lite' beer at 4% alcohol represents a 20% reduction in pure alcohol intake than a regular beer.
2008.12.08 Page 18 of 22
Page 47 of 116 Grey Highlands Alcohol Policy The Municipality supports the serving of a 'standard drink' as a measure to gauge alcohol consumption.
Each of these standard drinks has 0.6 ounces or 17 ml. of pure alcohol that has The Standard Drink similar effects on the body. 12 oz or 341 ml. of beer with 5% alcohol
Many alcohol products contain a higher 5 oz or 142 ml. of wine with 12% alcohol pure alcohol content than a 'standard drink'. These products are considered to 1 ½ oz or 43 ml. of spirits with 40% be 'fortified'. Sponsors and servers are alcohol strongly discouraged from serving 'fortified' alcohol products and must be aware that:
‚ Beer products with more than 5% alcohol, wine products with more than 12% alcohol and spirits with more than 40% alcohol, are considered 'fortified' alcohol products
‚ Many coolers and beer products are 'fortified', check the pure alcohol content before serving.
‚ 'Fortified' products have a greater alcoholic content and patrons must be made aware these products will lead to accelerated adverse alcohol effects on the body.
‚ You are responsible to closely monitor and limit the consumption of 'fortified' alcohol products by patrons.
Controls to limit alcohol consumption
T If alcohol beverages tickets are sold, the sale of a maximum of five (5) tickets per person is permitted at one time. T Allow the redemption of unused tickets for cash on demand at any time during the event. T Sponsors are encouraged to limit the number of free drinks provided to guests during an open bar event to two (2) drinks per person. T Only a maximum of two (2) drinks can be served to one person at any one time. T Prohibit 'last calls' and announcements prior to the end of the event that advise patrons the bar is about to close, in order to control drink stocking within the last minutes of the event. T Better quality premium drink brands encourage guests to sip and savour their drink rather than ordering multiple lesser-priced drinks.
2008.12.08 Page 19 of 22
Page 48 of 116 Grey Highlands Alcohol Policy T In order to reduce the risk of intoxication and the rate of consumption, Sponsors must supply food sufficient to serve the persons attending the event. Serving food is one of the best ways to lower the risk of becoming intoxicated. Not only does food delay the absorption of alcohol into the blood, but it generally takes longer to drink while you are eating. Sponsors are strongly encouraged to offer food throughout the event, rather than just a buffet at midnight, to ensure your guests are not drinking on an empty stomach. Pizza slices, sandwiches, soups, vegetable dishes, hot dogs or hamburgers are considered substantial food types. Snacks such as chips, pretzels, and peanuts are not considered food and due to salt intake increase the rate of consumption.
Things to do during your event and special rules for serving alcohol
You're the host and you must attend the event for the entire duration, including the post event clean-up and be responsible for making decisions regarding the operation of the event and safe transportation. T You, or your designate, and event workers must remain sober during the event. T Check identification before admitting and serving a person who is apparently under the age of 19. Acceptable forms of identification, which include a photo, are: a BYID card issued by the LCBO; Driver's Licence; Canadian Armed Forces I.D. card; Canadian Citizenship Card, or a Canadian passport. T Permit Municipal representatives to enter the event at all times. T Marketing practices, which encourage increased or immoderate consumption, such as oversized drinks, double shots of spirits, drinking contests, jello shooters, liquor raffles and volume discounts, are not permitted. T The serving of alcohol must cease no later than the hour specified on the Special Occasion Permit/Licence/Catering Endorsement. T All bottles must be retained within the licensed bar area. All beverages must be served in unbreakable cups except for formal dinners and catered events. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are to be served in different cups.
Reducing the risk of injury, liability and property damage
Ensure the physical setting is safe for drinkers and non-drinkers. All exits must be kept clear of obstructions.
T If you become aware of a situation that could lead to injury or property damage you must take immediate and decisive action to prevent your guests from engaging in activities or conduct that is drunkenness, riotous, quarrelsome, violent or disorderly which could harm themselves or others, or could result in property damage. T Be available upon request to event workers who require assistance in managing a person who is refused a sale or becomes unmanageable.

Event servers and monitors
The Municipality has established required event workers ratios. Trained Servers must be certified by a recognized alcohol server training course. The Sponsor shall ensure all event workers are over the age of 19. Door and entrance monitors are encouraged to monitor the door for a minimum of 1.5 hours following the advertised admission time and for a minimum of 1.5 hours prior to the advertised departure time. Sponsor, Monitors, Servers will not consume alcohol during the event, nor will they be under the influence of any alcohol consumed before the event.
What to do after the event
Sponsors must conceal or remove all evidence of the service and consumption of liquor within forty-five (45) minutes after the end of the period during which liquor may be sold or served under the Special Occasion Permit. When the bar set-up is permanent, as required by Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regulations, patrons must be cleared from the room within 45 minutes of closing.

Good Day Deb
This e mail pertains to the expiring lease of the computer at the High School. Similar to the process we just went through to renew the lease for a detachment Page 52of 116 computer I am asking that this be placed on the PSB agenda for approval and furtherance to council for approval.
I have not specifically asked, however my perception is that the computer renewal is supported as it is a valuable tool for our school liaison officer. Would it be advantageous to have a resolution ready for our meeting as well as an agreement letter for our chair to sign to ensure we meet the diary date of September 14 2009 ?

RE: RESPONSE TO PSB MEMBER JIM MURRAY’S ORAL & WRITTEN CONCERNS
POLICE INVOLVEMENT IN PUBLIC MEETINGS
GENERAL: * Role of police is to ensure the safety and security of those in attendance by preventing any breach of the peace and enforcing applicable laws.
PAID DUTY:
Definition: * Performance of a police duty, including providing interviews, remuneration for which is received from a person or agency outside the OPP, and a member so engaged shall be deemed to be in the service of the OPP
Activities: * Within the content of the “lawful execution of their duties”, police will perform duties as assigned by the hiring person OR agency which are consistent with law enforcement and public safety * Paid Duty is only performed / allowed when operationally feasible
“Putting Our Community First"
Page 56 of 116 Inspector Van Landuyt response to Police Involvement in Publ...
SPECIFIC ISSUES:
Use & Positioning of OPP Vehicles * Cruisers are parked at entrances such as in the case of the AIM Powergen Open House for the following reasons: * In case of an arrest, prisoner confinement and transportation is close at hand. The further cruisers are parked increases potential for escape and / or altercation with prisoner or allies of accused * Cruisers are parked at well lighted entrances to prevent vandalism. Officers can readily monitor the vehicles while the frequent passage of citizens combined with lighting deters vandalism. * Mere presence of cruisers in a visible location provides a deterrent to inappropriate / criminal behaviour
Presence of Third Officer * Patrolling officers are encouraged and expected to attend / be in the vicinity of public gatherings / events to be visible and encourage lawful behaviour. This third officer should be praised for being proactive and knowledgeable of community events.
Why Two Cruisers? * Police do not assume who will attend public meetings, how many will attend or how they will behave. * We do however plan and prepare for the worst. * We do not have the luxury of planning police responses after the fact. * Therefore police and public safety are of paramount concern.
Conduct of Police / Rights of AIM Powergen * AIM Powergen leased the premise and had the right / legal obligation to 1) control activities inside, 2) dictate the use of the building and 3) determine the structure of the Open House. * AIM Powergen were within their lawful rights to deny the use of chairs and prevent obstruction to their presentation. They invited the public, they can uninvited the public. * Based on officer feedback and others in attendance I believe the officers did not prevent free speech, violate anyone’s charter of rights or in any way behave unprofessionally. * It seems that community members in attendance possessed a false sense of entitlement which led to a flawed understanding of ones actual rights. * Maintaining the “conditions of the meeting” on behalf of the host such as to limit the use of chairs due to fears of inappropriate / dangerous use is appropriate conduct for Paid Duty officers. To suggest this is “picayune” is not for the public to decide. * Police officers often get a bad reputation because unknowing, unaware, uneducated or assuming people often draw conclusions / form opinions based on their own flawed beliefs. * Professional Police Officers wear body armour, carry firearms, in addition to other use of force equipment and maintain an above average level of fitness. If that is found to be intimidating by a certain segment of society that is truly unfortunate. Perhaps those persons ought to step outside that paradigm and actually come to know our community officers. “Putting Our Community First"
Page 57 of 116 Inspector Van Landuyt response to Police Involvement in Publ... * Officer Sadler perceived Mr. Jim Murray as an intimidating individual, one who was attempting to influence the officer’s behaviour by on more than one occasion referring to his membership on the Police Service Board. Further, it was believed that unless the officers acquiesced to Mr. Murray’s position / expectation there would be consequences.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATION: * Wording throughout the Contract / Policing Agreement identifies the Municipality (Council) as the authority. * Recital paragraph (d) compels the Municipality to accept OPP policing in compliance with 5.5 Police Services Act by way of by-law * Definition of annual budget includes the approval of same by the Municipality (Council) * Paragraph 3 directs the Municipality to pay for Policing Services * Paragraph 7(b) states that the Municipality requests an increase in excess of the minimum service and pays for same * Paragraph 7( c ) indicates that the Municipality decides whether to reduce the number of contract employees and pays for associated costs * The only identified parties to the Policing Agreement are the Minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services and the Municipality * Section 10 of the Police Services Act and specifically Section 10(9) states the role of the Board and does not include contract negotiation * Contract Policing has confirmed that the initial stage of a Contract renewal or negotiation is to determine from the head of Council who will be leading the renewal discussions on behalf of the Municipality. The Municipality can delegate that responsibility to the Board or maintain direct oversight themselves. Only the Municipal Council can approve / accept an OPP Policing agreement. * I did correspond with Peter Osinga, Policing Services Division, who concurs that Council is responsible for contract issues. He also agrees that Board input in the Contract composition would be beneficial and in accordance with Section 10(9)(b) of the Police Services Act. * If the Board wishes to pursue this matter further I suggest contact with the Zone 5 advisor of Policing Services Division
Jim Murray requested a response to his accusations and questions. I trust this satisfied said request.

A Message from the (Detachment) Commander
QUALITY
“Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skilful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.” William A. Foster
My message in the 2007 Business Plan included many achievements accomplished by officers of the Grey County Detachment. The quality of work performed in 2008 continued to grow and often exceeded that in
- 2007! This success is due to the high intention, effort, intelligent direction 2009 and execution of our front line Constables and Supervisors.
The noted accomplishments in 2008 are in addition to the quality achieved in 2007.
* Seat Belt Enforcement increased 21% * RIDE hours increased 22% * Bicycle Patrol Hours increased 29% * Foot Patrol Hours increased 14% * Cottage Checks increased 13% * Property Crime Clearance Rate – 2nd highest among OPP in Western Region
I am troubled by the deaths on Grey County roadways involving all types of vehicles. My staff and I will deploy resources to the “hot spots” in an attempt to reduce death and injury on our roadways. Page 61of 116 The number of property crimes concerns me as well. Although statistics reveal a drastic reduction in property crimes since 2003 the number of thefts in 2008 increased slightly. My staff and I will continue to work collaboratively to improve this.
Safe Communities – A Secure Ontario Grey County O.P.P. Business Plan Grey County Detachment 2009 Business Plan Ontario Provincial Police
Winston Churchill was quoted “continuous effort – not strength or intelligence – is the key to unlocking our potential.”
It is through continuous effort that we have and will continue to be successful in providing an effective Police Service to Grey County.
The following quote from Lou Holtz reflects my perspective on quality and the expectation I have of myself and my staff.
“I won’t accept anything less than the best a player’s capable of doing …….. and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!”
- Thank you for your support in 2008. 2009

Grey County Environmental Scan
GENERAL
The O.P.P. is divided into six geographic regions province wide. Western Region encompasses the area from Windsor to Niagara and north to Tobermory. The headquarters for this region is located in London and our detachment is one of fifteen that provides policing services within that area.
-
2009 Grey County is the 4th largest County in Ontario covering 450,470 square hectares. The Grey County Detachment provides policing for the municipalities of Georgian Bluffs, Chatsworth, Meaford, Grey Highlands and Southgate, which have a combined population of approximately 44,493 persons, 3,047 kilometres of municipal & county roadways and 7 inland waterways. In addition the detachment has responsibilities that include, but are not limited to, patrolling four provincial highways and a portion of Georgian Bay. The workload in our area is greatly influenced by ski hills, beaches, waterways and other attractions that cause spikes in our population, traffic trends and recreational vehicle activity.
STRUCTURE
The detachment Administrative Centre is located in Chatsworth with members also deployed to work locations at Meaford and Markdale. Administrative Assistants staff these locations during normal business hours with the exception of the Meaford location. The Meaford location, as of October 2008 no longer provides front counter reception and administration. The Markdale location received holding cell and general renovations in 2008.
Page 63of 116 Offices that are not staffed during set hours are known as Extended Services Offices. An Extended Service Office provides a computer, phone access and work areas for officers working in those locations, thus increasing officer presence and visibility in those communities. These offices are situated in Dundalk, Springmount and the former Township of Sydenham in the Municipality of Meaford. Both Secondary Schools within the Grey County OPP jurisdiction also contain Extended Service Offices for use of both the school liaison and general patrol officers. High speed internet has increased efficiency for our officers.

Grey County O.P.P. Business Plan Grey County Detachment 2009 Business Plan Ontario Provincial Police
COMMUNITY POLICING
Our goal is to continue to evolve as required to best serve the communities we police. It is crucial that we maintain a close working relationship with the citizens in our area because experience has shown that the quality of policing is closely aligned to public support. Our school community has a population of some 6,000 students and consists of 13 primary, 2 secondary and a number of private schools. Three full time liaison officers have been assigned to the schools to deliver programs and ensure a continued positive relationship. This environment presents an opportunity for the police to make a positive influence in the lives of our young people, our future leaders.
Community support and desire for bicycle and foot patrols continues to grow and we will strive to fulfill those needs.
CRIME
- 2009 Transient or “out of town” criminals continue to impact the operations of this Detachment. Property crimes and narcotic related activity committed by non- residents continue to create challenges for our communities. The illegal drug trade and the property crime offences are closely related to each other. Investigations involving “non-residents” are substantially more challenging to solve and require more resources to succeed. Our citizens identified drug enforcement as a top priority in the 2007 Policing For Results Survey. In 2008 the Grey County Property Crimes unit was increased by one full time officer.
ROAD SAFETY
In 2008 the Grey County Detachment experienced a 1.5 % decrease in motor vehicle collisions compared to 2007. If you recall in 2007 we reduced collisions an additional 10 % from 2006. Collisions involving deer decreased 8% in 2008 from 2007. Unfortunately fatal collisions increased in 2008 from 7 to 10 or 43%. Enforcement activities were consistent with 2007. Page 64of 116 SEASONAL ACTIVITIES
Seasonal recreational activities and seasonal residents largely impact policing in Grey County. Cottages, camp grounds and trailer parks all present policing challenges during the “off season”. Marine, snowmobile and ATV issues continue to place significant demands on our service.

Community Consultations
The OPP is committed to working in partnership with the communities we serve. We strive to provide effective and efficient services that address local needs. During the development of this business plan, efforts were made to engage in discussions with our local community representatives to jointly determine key issues and priorities.
The following were utilized in the development of the Grey County OPP business plan:
Consultation with Municipal Councils Consultation with Municipal Police Service Boards Special public meetings initiated by Municipal Police Service Boards Locally created and distributed community surveys - 2009 OPP Policing for Results Survey Consultation with the Grey County OPP membership
The key issues identified through the Community consultation process were:
Road Safety
Drug Enforcement
Youth Issues
Needs of Seniors Page 65of 116 Property Crimes

Goal #1 - Increase public confidence through crime prevention & investigative excellence
Situational Assessment
Below you will see reference to RDP. RDP is an acronym for RESULTS DRIVEN POLICING. Results Driven Policing is modeled around a proven system that is credited with dramatic decreases in crime and victimization levels across the United States and Australia.
RDP is an accountability framework based on the following principles: - 2009 1. Focused crime and traffic objectives 2. Timely and accurate statistical information 3. Effective police strategies and tactics 4. Rapid deployment of personnel and resources 5. Relentless follow-up, reaction and assessment
As Commissioner Fantino has pointed out, adequacy, effectiveness, efficiency, accountability and transparency are the fundamental elements upon which our police service operates. RDP is an extension of that vision. Page 69of 116

Goal #2 - Safer Highways, Trails and Waterways
Situational Assessment
Canada's inaugural national road safety vision -- "to have the safest roads in the world," and plan, Road Safety Vision 2010, were adopted by the Council of Ministers of Transportation and Highway Safety in 1996.
In October 2000, the Council of Ministers for Transportation and Highway Safety approved a longer-term successor plan called Road Safety Vision 2010, to carry forward the work of Canada's inaugural national road safety plan.
The national target calls for a 30% decrease in the average number of road users killed and seriously injured during the
- 2008-2010 period over comparable 1996-2001 figures. Achievement of these targets would reduce Canada's road fatality 2009 total to fewer than 2,100 by 2010.
Ministry of Transportation data has revealed that according to postal code, the Dundalk area is the 14th highest in Drinking and Driving related documentation in Ontario (12 hour & 90 day licence suspensions). Even though the noted area is significant in size and reaches well beyond the borders of Southgate and Grey County it demonstrates two things. First, that our officers are actively engaged in road safety activity and second that the anti drinking and driving message that has been aggressively distributed during the past 25 years remains somewhat ineffective.

Goal #3 – Safer Communities-Criminal Investigations
Situational Assessment
Break and enters, thefts and vandalism crimes continue to be a concern to our communities and Detachment members. The community perceives their security based upon the lack of criminal activity in the areas of their homes and businesses. Break and enters within the Grey County Ontario Provincial Police Detachment jurisdiction, continue to be serial in nature and several are being committed by person(s) from outside the area. A co-ordinated liaison is required among the Area Crime Sergeant, Detachment Crime personnel, Detachment personnel and the community to enhance our existing communication link to effectively identify and apprehend the person(s) responsible for these crimes.

Goal # 4 - Deliver responsive programs and services that meet the unique needs of Ontario’s diverse communities
Situational Assessment
The Grey County OPP jurisdiction contains some 15 schools and in excess of 6,000 students and staff. In 2003 this detachment was unable to meet its business plan objective of delivering complete V.I.P. programs to our elementary schools. Considerable success has been achieved since that time through dedicated youth liaison / Community Services Officers.
Preventing youth crime continues to be a priority. The school liaison program in the Grey County Detachment area will therefore continue. Our primary focus will be directed toward illicit drug use and the interconnected criminal offences
- such as property crimes. 2009
Trust is the foundation to a meaningful relationship. Our goal through this initiative is to continue to develop and nurture a level of trust with our youth and young adults.
A significant proportion of Grey County population consists of Seniors. Addressing the needs of this segment of the population remains a priority.

Goal # 5 – Visibility & Problem Solving
Situational Assessment
The category of community safety is two fold. Does the criminal activity in a community support the notion that a community is safe and does the community in fact feel safe? Officer visibility in a community often goes a long way in making a community feel safe. The apprehension of criminals and a reduction of crime contribute to a “statistically” safe community. Community perception of safety is crucial which ultimately leads to Community policing. The flexibility to provide proactive services and problem solve is the key to customized policing services.

Page 90 of 116 March 10th 2009 Zone 5 OAPSB Minutes - Reported by Charlie Reidl - Community has been pretty quiet - New OPP office - Contract signed
Chatsworth
- Reported by Bob Elliott - The Township of Chatsworth Police Services Board has had a fairly quiet quarter. There was one incident that Officers responded to a domestic dispute. As result of information received during the assault investigation, a search of the premises resulted in seizure of firearms, ammunition, explosive devices and materials, knives, containers, belts and partial firearms. Officers seized over 70 firearms and laid charges.
Grey Highlands
- As reported by Stan Baker - Our first meeting in 2009 commenced with the required appointment of a Board Secretary and Elections of Chair and Vice-Chair. Our secretary of 8 years had to step aside due to a heavier work load and we were lucky to be able to appoint Karen Holt, another experienced secretary. We know we can expect great things from her. Our election by the secretary returned Lynn Silverton to the position of Chair and by the Chair returned myself Stan Baker, to continue as Vice Chair. - As Vice Chair, I attended a lunch hosted by our Detachment Commander Inspector Mark Vanlanduyt who introduced Inspector John Periversoff, a temporary Detachment Commander for Grey County until such times as Mark returns from Wellington. - Our board carried out our annual evaluations of not only the Detachment Commander as required in the Police Services Act by our Secretary, Chair and Board. We have received recently a letter of thanks from Western Region since they received the Inspectors review. It seems that not many boards carry out this exercise, which proves to be a very useful tool. - Our board annually ensures that the men and women of our OPP office in Markdale receive a goodies tray for Christmas as well as one for New Years. It is tough in all professions to work away from families during a holiday and that season in particular. We are now taking suggestions from our Detachment Commander for the ‘Police Officer of the Year’ award that will be presented to the individual at a council meeting in May. It is always a surprise to the candidate and appreciated by their colleagues. - At our last board meeting, we were honoured with a visit from Peter Osinga who gave us an ‘A’. Peter asked great questions and seemed to be happy with our answers.
Georgian Bluffs
