FIRST REPORT AN DUCATION PROGRAM AND INTERAGENCY MODEL FOR POLICE OFFICERS ON ELDER ABUSE AND NEGLECT HV 8079 .225 E25 1993 FIRST REPORT AN 4DUCATION PROGRAM AND INTERAGENCY MODEL FOR POLICE OFFICERS ON ELDER ABUSE AND NEGLECT SOLICiTOR G!1NERAL CANADA JUN JUIN § 1997 soworrÊtni Gtemi. CANADA OTTAWA pm-rincA MA OM 1 February 9, 1993 Police Policy and Research Division 340 Laurier Ave. West, 8th floor Ottawa, Ontario KlA OP8 Attention: Karim ISMAILI Re: An Education Program and Interagency Model for Police Officers on Elder Abuse and Negle,ct - contract file # 1515-92/QUI-439 Dear Sir, It is our pleasure to submit this first progress report of the objectives achieved thus far. Please refer to the following sections in the accompanying report. 1 SECTION 1 - Literature Review (completed) SECTION 2 - Questionnaire: Distribution and Analysis (completed) SECTION 3 - Outline of Training Package (draft stage) SECTION 4 - Outline of Interagency Model (draft stage) SECTION 5 - Revised Project Work Plan The committee voted on November 10, 1992 to refer to abuse of this age group as "elder" abuse rather than "senior" abuse, in order to be consistent with current literature. Substantial progress has been made to date on the e,ducation/training package for police officers. An extensive literature review has been complete,d; the Toronto elder abuse project consulted; and about three quarters of the training package written in draft form. More specifically, parts A and B and most of part C, as presented in the enclosed outline, have been completed. A police advisory committee has been established and the training package and protocols will be reviewed by this committee on an ongoing basis. We have also met with community agencies regarding the development of an interagency model. There was some concern about the response to the questionnaire from the Province of Québec. In order to rectify this, the Project Committee has decided to make a second distribution in French. This questionnaire should be distribute,d by February 15, 1993. A return date of February 28, 1993 has been requested. An amended report will be forwarded in the near future. 3045 Baseline Rd., Nepean, Ontario, 14211 8134 (613) 721-2000 Pnnted on recycled pooer We feel that to create an effective protocol, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth police file review, using Nepean Police Service and Ottawa Police Service records. We have extracted approximately 450 files from Nepean Police Service and 720 files from Ottawa Police Service. Both reviews are now complete. We have experienced delays in the following areas: 1) start-up time, 2) returns of completed questionnaires, 3) the unexpected police file case review, therefore, we are submitting a revised time frame. We have met with the company who will be responsible for the audio-visual production. We anticipate that by the end of March 1993, a draft script will be completed, and ready for your approval. We trust that this report will meet with your satisfaction. If you have any questions or ne,ed clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
