A
B
Good
evening,
good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
for
joining
us
tonight,
I'd
like
to
recognize
three
of
my
colleague,
my
council
car
care
tonight,
councilor
Jody,
medic,
shad,
Kathy
and
Jen
Coetzee.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
folks
and
thanks
to
all
of
you
in
the
audience
for
coming
out
before
we
start
I
believe
chief,
we
have
a
ceremonial
activity,
leave
the
phone
alone,
I
suppose.
B
C
Sir
mr.
chair,
since
the
arrival
of
cell
phones,
texting
and
driving
is
increased
exponentially
and
is
a
growing
community
concern.
In
fact,
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
alone,
40%
of
collisions
involved
distracted
driving,
resulting
in
6,400
injuries
and
18
deaths
on
our
city
roads
in
the
last
five
years.
The
leave
the
phone
alone
campaign
reminds
everyone
that
texting
and
driving
is
dangerous
and
illegal.
The
auto
police
service
officially
launched
the
program
in
local
schools
last
month.
That
is,
and
it
is
available
to
educators
for
both
primary
and
secondary
school
levels.
C
Sergeant
Hall
and
his
group
have
been
instrumental
in
making
this
program
a
success
in
our
community
by
bringing
awareness
to
the
dangers
of
phone
use
while
driving
and
changing
the
culture
around.
This
practice
by
all
drivers
he's
here
this
afternoon
to
explain
more
about
the
program
and
offer
members
of
the
Police
Service
Board
to
take
the
pledge.
D
Chiefs
of
Police,
the
police
associations
of
Ontario
and
the
Auto
Police
Association
I'm
also
very
proud
to
state
that
the
leave
the
phone
alone
campaign
has
been
supported
by
our
executive
as
well
as
our
frontline
staff.
It
is
a
unifying
campaign,
as
we
all
agree,
distracted
driving
is
the
most
significant
road
safety
issue
our
community
faces.
D
D
As
we
all
know,
one
of
the
most
powerful
influence
in
the
world
is
when
our
children
remind
us
that
we're
doing
something
wrong
in
front
of
you
is
to
leave
the
phone
alone.
Information
package
that
you
have,
including
that
package,
is
a
pair
of
thumb
bands.
This
serves
as
a
visual
reminder
to
drivers
not
to
text
and
drive
right
now.
I
would
like
to
invite
all
members
of
the
police
service
board
to
come
forward
and
take
the
pledge
by
placing
a
thumb
band
on
their
thumbs
and
bringing
with
them
the
thumbprint.
D
E

B
G
I
was
just
interested
in
hearing.
He
mentioned
the
experience
in
Quebec
and
I
just
wondered
what
the
experience
was
all
for
in
Canada
with
respect
to
this
I
think
it's
an
excellent
idea
and
I
certainly
agree
with
the
letters
that
we
received
in
the
public,
about
the
importance
and
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
and
I
just
wondered
that
in
terms
of
the
experiences
elsewhere
in
Canada.
If
this
event
was
mr.
C

H
G
H
G
F
Mr.
chair,
if
it's
okay
to
highlight,
marks
great
work
on
this,
and
we
also
did
something
in
regards
to
texting
in
the
past
as
well,
where
we
sent
a
letter
to
the
province
and
I'm
glad
to
say
that
they've
adopted
that
more
than
just
money,
it's
points
when
it
comes
to
texting
and
I
see.
This
is
a
great
initiative,
look
forward
to
seeing
what
comes
back
out
of
it
and

they
work
on
their

watch

and
we
have

McIntosh

John
Howard
society
of

B
F
I
You
very
much
councillor,
merci
beaucoup
Monsieur
Pierre
sit
down,
and
we
also
have
the
staff
sergeant
in
charge
of
guns
and
gangs
of
staff
sergeant
Ian
MacDonald
with
us.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity.
We
were
asked
to
give
you
a
very
quick
update
about
services
into
intervention
services
for
active
those
involved
in
drug
and
gang
lifestyles.
So,
just
to
briefly
give
you
a
little
bit
of
context
or.
B
I
I
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
Kristine
McIntosh
I
work
for
the
John
Howard
society,
so
I'm
going
to
talk
just
a
bit
about
the
last
six
months
of
the
operations
with
time
for
change,
formerly
known
as
the
gang
exit
strategy,
it's
now
called
time
for
change
to
put
in
a
bit
of
context
the
mayor's
investment
allowed
for
three
and
a
half
full-time
equivalent
positions
between
both
agencies.
So
the
team
is
about
three
and
a
half
people.
J
Individuals
that
come
into
our
service
are
given
intensive
one-to-one
support
in
a
variety
of
areas
that
speaks
to
the
slide,
so
there's
a
number
of
services
and
support
and
I
won't
go
through
all
of
them
individually,
but
most
of
the
services
are
extremely
intensive,
given
the
needs
and
complexities
of
the
individual
and
individuals
and
families.
In
this
in
this
program,.
K
This
right,
that's
up
now
speaks
to
what
OCC
is
doing
with
the
project,
so
we
provide
in
partnership
with
jonhoward
multicultural
services,
to
clients
who
have
cultural
backgrounds
that
need
the
assistive
services.
So
basically,
our
approach
is
really
technology.
Culture
and
religious
needs
is
part
of
the
healing
process
for
these
individuals,
and
we
are
also
doing
community
connections
where
we
have
we're
holding
forums
with
the
community
to
kind
of
involve
them
in
the
project.
So
they
can
inform
the
project.
K
J
So,
as
Nancy
mentioned,
the
mayor's
investment
was
back
in
2015.
The
team
took
a
few
months
to
get
hired
and
operational
and
they've
been
doing
dedicated
in
reach
and
outreach
to
those
affected
by
this
lifestyle.
For
about
six
months
now,
you'll
see
that
25
individuals
have
been
identified
for
time
for
change
that
this
is
through
a
variety
of
referral
pathways.
J
I
think
an
important
thing
to
highlight
is
specific
to
this
project.
The
time
for
change
team
doesn't
wait
for
individuals
to
seek
them
out.
If
you
will
so
this.
This
project
is
very
much
about
going
to
the
individuals
that
are
most
affected,
so
individuals
that
have
been
recently
incarcerated
or
OCD
see
those
individuals
that
are
coming
out
of
our
provincial
and
federal
institutions.
J
There's
a
number
of
referral
pathways
where
community
partners
are
aware
of
individuals
that
are
affected
by
this
life.
So
there's
been
quite
a
bit
of
active
engagement
with
these
individuals,
so
you'll
see
from
the
slide
that
there's
18
in
service
already,
we've
got
more
that
are
currently
incarcerated
that
are
in
the
community.
J
A
number
of
them
are
no
CDC
like
I
mentioned,
but
there
is
also
quite
a
few
that
we
have
on
our
active
caseload
and
we're
also
going
to
be
continuing
to
do
in
reach
too
they're,
currently
serving
federal
and
provincial
time
and
so
reintegration
back
into
the
community.
They
will
be
coming
back
into
the
Ottawa
community
so
through
our
halfway
houses
and
other
services,
we're
going
to
try
and
do
very
dedicated
and
intensive
service
and
support
to
these
individuals
to
assist
them
and
successfully
coming
back
into
the
community.
J
You'll
also
see
that
we've
got
about
seven
cases
that
have
closed
already.
A
number
of
them
have
declined
our
service
or,
like
I
mentioned,
we
will
do
engagement
directly
to
individual,
that
we
don't
wait
for
them
to
come
to
us,
and
so
a
few
have
declined
service
and
there
are
a
number,
a
small
number
that
were
deemed
not
suitable
for
the
service,
mostly
in
particular
to
a
few
that
have
dangerous
offender
applications
pending
so
there'll,
be
significant.
They'll
spend
a
significant
period
of
time
in
custody
before
coming
back
out
in
the
community.
J
So
at
this
time
we
won't
be
providing
service
to
those
individuals.
I
do
want
to
speak
about
an
innovative
component
of
this
project
that
is
in
the
works.
It
is
a
service
agreement
between
the
Ottawa
Police
Services
and
the
John
Howard
Society.
It's
a
service
agreement,
that's
still
being
worked
through
with
Ottawa
police
services,
legal
department,
the
idea
being
that
a
John
Howard
worker
through
this
project
will
be
seconded
to
the
guns
and
gangs
unit
on
a
part-time
basis.
J
The
purpose
of
this
concept
is
to
allow
guns
and
gangs,
investigators
and
potentially
the
drug
unit
as
well,
to
make
direct
referrals
to
the
John
Howard
worker.
The
John
Howard
worker
could
then
go
and
do
active
offers
of
service
so
that
what
this
does
allow
is
very
strategic
offers
of
service
during
periods
in
someone's
life,
where
there
may
be
more
of
an
opportunity
for
them
to
want
to
move
away
from
this
lifestyle.
J
So,
for
example,
after
a
critical
injury,
our
worker
could
go
in
and
do
an
offer
of
service
while
the
individual
is
in
the
hospital
and
provide
support
and
service
if
they've
been
recently
incarcerated
or
if
there's
other
major
critical
events
that
are
going
on
in
their
life,
that
the
police
officers
are
aware
of,
they
can
refer
to
John,
Howard
and
John.
Howard
could
go
and
do
an
offer
of
service.
J
J
J
Both
of
these
referrals
were
actually
through
Ottawa
police,
one
young
man,
the
team
is
working
with
was
referred
when
he
was
recovering
in
the
hospital
after
a
serious
gunshot
wound.
He
spent
months
in
rehab
during
that
time
and
time
for
change,
supported
him
and
his
mom
with
implementing
a
plan
that
supports
a
significant
brain
injury
that
he
had
incurred
potential
options
for
housing
that
would
best
meet
their
needs
upon
release,
as
well
as
exploring
the
family
dynamics
and
the
stress
that
that
appeared
to
cause.
J
Interestingly
John
Howard
had
worked
with
this
family
before
so
they
were
very
comfortable
and
accepting
services
he's
since
been
released
and
is
living
back
at
home
with
mom
and
they're
set
to
begin
family
counseling,
as
well
as
looking
for
options
for
employment
for
the
young
gentleman.
His
brother
has
also
been
assigned
to
another
caseworker
with
this
team
to
receive
individual
support,
so
the
whole
family
unit
can
be
in
a
better
position
to
succeed
and
another
case
that
was
referred
to
time
for
change.
This
individual
had
serious
safety
issues.
He
had
been
shot
at
multiple
times.
J
Thankfully
he
was
not
injured.
Despite
his
ongoing
safety
risk,
he
did
not
want
to
leave
the
city.
He
wanted
to
remain
in
the
City
of
Ottawa
to
be
close
with
his
family
and
his
children
in
particular,
he's
been
working
towards
making
positive
changes
in
his
life
by
applying
for
post-secondary
education
to
be
in
a
better
position
to
support
his
family.
Due
to
the
challenges
in
obtaining
his
immigration
paperwork.
This
goal
was
at
a
standstill
until
they
received
support
from
time
for
change.
J
Caseworker
in
navigating
all
the
paperwork
in
systems
involved,
so
he's
waiting
to
receive
a
citizenship
papers,
and
then
he
is
going
to
apply
to
Algonquin
College
and
just
to
highlight
one
other
piece.
Like
I
mentioned,
the
workers
go
into
OC
DC
after
individuals
have
been
arrested
and
incarcerated.
J
J
Why
are
you
here
and
the
worker
explained
why
I
was
here
and
he
said
well,
do
you
know
what
I've
done
the
worker
said?
Well,
I
read
the
paper,
so
I
understand
what
you've
been
charged
with
and
he
said
quite
seriously,
and
you
still
want
to
help
me
so
I
just
wanted
to
leave
a
thought
that
I
think
in
a
lot
of
cases.
J
H
Mr.
chair,
if
you
just
allow
me
two
seconds
to
have
a
say
in
terms
of
these
as
the
executive
director
of
far
not
exactly
sir
chair,
the
crime
prevention,
our
walk,
hardwa
board.
This
is
a
partnership
that
has
been
formed
not
only
with
crime
prevention
out
a
little,
but
obviously
with
the
o-p-s
and
John
Howard
society
in
LC.
H
That
is
our
main
role
at
CP,
o
to
work
with
our
partners
and
I,
want
to
thank
the
Ottawa,
Police
Service
for
being
a
very
good
partner,
a
very
strong
partner
for
us,
along
with
John
Howard
society
enough
Cecil.
So
thank
you
very
much
mr.
chair
and,
as
the
delegation
mentioned,
we're
open
for
questions.
Thank.
B
L
I
L
L
L
A
Think
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
times
when
you
could
find
an
individual
who's
involved
in
a
high-profile
incidents
such
as
Christine
said
victim
who's
been
shot
or
somebody,
even
on
the
other
end
of
the
spectrum,
was
ever
released
from
custody.
Somebody
who
was
a
perpetrator
at
the
time
now
you
might
be
able
to
get
up
and
give
them
that
option
to
make
a
better
choice.
So.
L
Just
one
final
thing:
mr.
chair
the
councillor
Dean's
one
of
the
areas
that
we're
going
to
be
we've
identified
as
Hetherington
been
Fred
berry
and
really
a
Genesis
for
her
wanting
to
include
that
community
was
the
conversation
she's
had
over
the
years
with
some
of
the
mums
in
the
community
mums
of
gang
members
mums
of
children
who
are
associated
with
gang
members
and
their
cry
out
for
help.
Do
you
think
as
part
of
the
move
forward?
J
Not
specific
to
time
for
change,
but
to
your
point
about
families
and
young
people
who
are
perhaps
not
fully
entrenched
in
this
life,
but
on
the
threshold
there
has
been
provincial
money
that
has
come
through
the
Ministry
of
Children
and
Youth.
Services
earmarked
for
gang
prevention
and
intervention
u-turn
use
support
services
in
the
John
Howard
society.
J
Our
partners
in
that
initiative
and
we'll
be
building
off
of
a
pilot
project
that
we
ran
through
the
Ottawa
gang
strategy
that
was
called
supporting
families,
initiative,
better
known
as
siblings,
at
risk,
and
so
it
was
to
specifically
work
with
families
of
known
gang
members
who
had
younger
siblings
in
the
home.
So
it
was
very
much
prevention
based,
so
we
will
be
building
off
of
that
project
with
the
new
funds.
Thank.
K
You
very
much
actually
just
I
will
see
so
we
work
across
the
city
we're
not
geographically
bound
and
especially
in
the
South
area.
Now
we
have
just
implemented
programs
for
youth,
especially
newcomer
youth,
that
we
work
with
so
prevention
in
terms
of
not
necessarily
again
but
all
violence
prevention.
K
Our
programs
are
really
designed
to
connect
with
newcomers
who
are
low-income
and
in
a
marginalized
communities
and
provide
supports
after-school
programs,
so
it
will
all
fit
into
what
we're
doing
at
this
with
this
project,
inform
it
with
the
parents,
and
we
work
closely
with
families
in
that
area
too.
So
we're
very
much
interested
in
working
citywide,
but
also
connecting
with
the
community
and
the
moms,
particularly.
F
Of
Trent
great
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
first
of
all,
thank
you
as
CPO
and
shad
and
the
entire
group.
This
week
we
have
my
community
leaders
meeting
well
over
20
major
community
leaders
in
our
area,
so
I
know
your
participation
and
some
of
the
stuff
I'm
reading
in
here
it
could
be
very
beneficial.
We've
had
a
lot
of
great
ideas
very
similar
to
what's
in
here,
so,
if
able
to
bring
neighborhood
cohesion
together,
like
you
mentioned
in
your
slide,
I
think
that'd
be
important.
F
I
do
have
a
question
in
regards
to
the
MoU
between
the
John
Howard
society
and
o-p-s,
and
that
component.
How
long
has
that
been?
We
worked
on
at
this
point?
Is
there
something
new,
because
when
I
hear
legal
has
to
review
it
I'm
afraid
these
things
get
lost
in
the
weeds
and
I
see?
This
is
something
very
important
and
the
sooner
we
can
do
this,
the
better.
J
C
Chair,
it
is
really
the
sources
they're
just
about
to
wrap
it
up.
It
is
a
very
complex
arrangement
that
we
are
dealing
with
a
lot
of
privacy
issues
and
matters
that
are
of
mutual
concern
on
both
sides
of
the
equation.
We
do
have
a
worker
embedded
from
the
Children's
Aid
Society,
and
that
was
a
lengthy
process
as
well
as
to
try
to
really
make
sure
that
that
both
both
parties
are
covered
from,
especially
with
the
the
types
of
files
that
that
we're
dealing
with
at
both
sides.
So
we're.
C
F
Mr.
chair,
if
it's
okay
with
you,
maybe
just
as
direction
rather
than
moving
motion,
this
is
very
important.
This
actually
plays
very
well
to
exactly
what
we're
trying
to
do,
especially
in
regards
to
Jasmine.
This
is
actually
exactly
something
that
would
be
helpful
if
there's
a
way
to
be
able
to
whether
we
do
it
through
staff
or
they
come
back
and
report
next
meeting
on
the
progress
timeline.
Cyclists
are
getting
to
actually
finalizing
this.
F
Some
of
you
I
see
great
importance
in
this
and
I'd,
rather
not
wait
too
much
longer
I've
as
a
counselor
I've
had
things
trapped
in
legal
for
years,
right,
John,
yeah!
This
is
what
happens
and
if
it
requires
yanking
everybody
into
one
room
to
settle
it
out,
because
I
know,
there's
several
leavers:
I've,
no
problem
doing
that.
That's
what
we're
doing
with
our
leadership
meeting
this
week
and
that's
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
C
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
work
still
goes
on
as
far
as
identifying
those
individuals
who
were
involved
in
gangs
to
build
a
relationships
with
the
workers
of
John,
Howard
and
and
and
trying
to
get
them
out
of
those
gangs
and
providing
them
support.
That
work
still
continues.
The
piece
around
the
MOU
then
will
use
to
have
actually
a
worker
working
alongside
our
guns
and
gangs
unit,
our
dart
unit
to
work
closer
with
those
to
identify
other
potential
individuals.
F
A
Thank
You
mr.
chair
and
folks,
thank
you
very
much
for
coming
this.
My
old
colleagues
here
good
work
I
like
this
collaboration.
This
is
the
way
forward
for
us
as
police.
This
is
the
way
forward
for
us
as
community
I'm,
curious
Nancy.
You
said
that
it's
Rihanna
buys
this
much,
but
there's
just
much
more.
What
would
that
look
like
for
you?
Is
that
what
I
heard
you
need
more?
It's
not
what
I
thought
I
heard
in
response
to
customer
orders,
question.
I
300,000
realistically
can
buy
a
caseload
of
about
30
clients
to
be
able
to
deliver
a
highly
intensive
service.
That's
a
realistic
caseload
with
that
amount
of
money.
It
would,
if
you
look
at
the
new
housing
strategy,
for
example,
it's
about
the
equivalent
of
the
case
management
dollars
in
the
housing
first
model.
A
But
I
guess
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
are
there?
People
who
you
think
need
this
service
would
benefit
from
it
would
want
it
that
you
don't
have
enough
money
to
serve.
You
know,
what's
at
the
back
of
my
mind,
is
one
hundred
thirty
four
thousand
dollars
to
keep
one
prisoner
in
the
federal
system
for
a
year.
Seventy
four
thousand
dollars
to
keep
one
in
the
provincial
system
for
a
year,
and
you
have
three
hundred
thousand
to
help,
keep
them
out.
Carl.
I
You
know
me
I'm
always
happy
to
spend
more
money,
but
realistically
this
is.
This
is
a
wonderful.
This
is
a
wonderful
start.
This
is
a
wonderful
start
and
we
are
so
grateful
to
the
mayor
for
taking
this
on,
and
we
are
certainly
also
hopeful
that
senior
levels
of
government
and
the
change
of
government
will
also
be
looking
at
their
responsibilities
in
this
as
well.
Thank.
B
H
If
I
may
add
another
comment
to
that,
the
question
was
going
on
the
table.
There
was
also
another
piece
to
the
funding
there's
another
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
employment
opportunities
that
the
mayor's
office
provided
also.
So
the
total
package
is
four
hundred
thousand
three
hundred
thousand
of
that
is
under
the
auspices
of
Scipio
and
the
other
hundred
thousand
is
with
our
social
services
department
in
the
city.
You
may
look
for
employment
and
so
on
and
so
forth,
but
we
looked
at
from
day.
H
One
of
working
of
the
chief
was
to
look
at
it,
a
holistic
approach
from
start
to
finish
and
not
to
started
a
piece
of
puzzle
with
one
organization
on
one
partner
and
said:
that's
the
piece
we
want
to
focus
on.
We
want
to
focus
on
the
entire
issue.
Having
said
that,
I
think
we
have
two
great
partners
at
the
table
in
terms
of
John
Howard
society
and
I,
see
so
to
do
that.
H
Coming
back
to
council,
hardest
question
read
the
funding
in
terms
of
the
amount
spent
and
not
all
that
we've
committed
before
$300,000
to
go
out
this
this
year.
What
we
have
done
is
working
with
our
board
is
said
to
the
agencies.
Look
we're
going
to
give
you
money
forward
in
terms
installments,
something
that
we
worked
out
with
our
financial
department
in
the
city
and
based
on
that
I
guess
there
may
be
some
requirement
and
there
will
be
in
terms
of
going
forward
on
that
money.
H
B
C
Chairman
I'm
very
excited
around
the
the
the
enthusiasm
and
the
inquiries
around
the
program.
I
remember
when
the
the
exit
strategy,
when
it
was
announced
you
know,
was
really.
It
was
openly
criticized
as
far
as
well
as
this,
the
magic
bullet
that's
going
to
solve
it
and
if
everything,
it's
not
the
magic
bullet.
C
It's
a
slice
of
the
larger
picture
of
the
gang
strategy
that
we
need,
as
a
community
to
really
deal
with
young
men,
they're,
getting
installs
involved
in
gangs
at
the
prevention
piece,
identifying
them
early
through
the
siblings
project,
while
they're
in
the
gangs
and
helping
them
out
of
the
gangs.
This
is
part
of
that
strategy
and
then
I'm
excited
about
the
partnership
that
that
we've
identified
with
the
seesaw
and
and
John
Howard
and
and
the
professional
draw
and
I
want
to.
Thank
you
know.
C
The
members
from
the
police
service
who
are
integrally
involved
in
working
with
gang
members
are
members
Lee,
gang
and
dart
team
and
patrol
officers,
and
they
were
officers,
have
relationships
with
these.
These
gang
members
and
victims
and
they're
they're
also
there
to
assist
them
in
in
the
supports
that
they
need
to
get
out
of
that
lifestyle,
but
also
to
hold
them
accountable
for
what
they're
doing
so.
C
I
want
to
thank
the
partners
for
coming
to
the
table
and
I'm
excited
to
hear
the
stories
that
that
you're
you're
able
to
share,
as
well
as
some
of
the
successes
and
I,
think
if
we
can
identify
these
members
one
at
a
time
and
get
them
out,
we
will
have
a
long-term
impact
on
on
keeping
our
community
safer.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You,
chief
and
on
behalf
the
board,
thank
you,
your
caddy
and
every
one
of
you
tonight
presentation.
Thank
you.
Continue,
look
for
continued
working
with
your
folks.
Thank
you
and
I'm
Michael
can
we
receive?
It
is
information.
Thank
you
and
now
we
item
number
two
before
I.
Go
through
item
number.
Two.
We
hold
item
number
nine
because
so
number
nine
on
the
accessibility
plan
report,
the
individual
was
used
to
speak,
has
left
the
meeting
because
the
interpreter
was
not
available
so
can
can
we
receive
this
report?
You
have
any
question
on
it.
I
I
L
C
C
Mr.
chair
good
evening,
I
usually
try
to
focus
my
verbal
reports
on
the
excellent
work
of
our
members
or
crime
trends.
This
evening,
I
want
to
focus
on
the
difficult
discussion
our
members
have
been
having
over
the
last
week
or
two
Morales,
our
conversation
policing,
and
we
know
that
morale
is
not
where
it
needs
to
be.
Our
members
should
know
that
their
concerns
are
being
heard,
that
we
know
that
they
need
to
see
more
action
and
that
they
be
directly
engaged
in
those
solutions.
C
I
want
to
bring
you
back
to
the
member
survey
we
initiated
in
2015.
The
feedback
in
the
Darkman
was
taken
very
seriously
and
has
been
guiding
our
work
to
improve
morale
and
insured
members
feel
supported.
The
survey
was
clear
that
the
tender
program
and
staffing
have
been
major
issues.
There
are
also
concerns
about
the
pace
of
change
of
the
service
initiative
and
what
the
future
of
policing
here
in
Ottawa
will
look
like,
but
there's
more
to
it.
Our
service
has
a
high
confidence
rating
from
the
public.
C
This
is
because
of
the
work
that
happens
at
the
front
line
every
day,
but
even
in
the
midst
of
that
public
support,
there
also
there's
also
a
feeling
amongst
officers
from
front
line
to
see
your
ranks
that
they
do
their
jobs.
With
someone
always
looking
over
the
shoulder.
The
job
of
a
front
line
constable
has
unquestionably
changed
from
I
or
when
I
or
any
senior
officer
was
on
patrol
there's,
more
oversight
from
supervisors,
senior
officers,
the
executive,
the
board
SIU
and
the
Oh
aye
PID.
C
Add
on
to
that
social
media,
the
daily
traditional
media
coverage
and
the
concerns
from
the
public.
There
is
merit
to
effective
oversight,
and
no
one
at
the
auto
police
wants
to
shy
away
from
accountability,
but
there's
also
an
impact
on
their
members.
He
causes
frustration.
It
leaves
some
feeling
that,
regardless
of
the
public
confidence,
the
tools
they
need
to
do
their
job
are
being
hemmed
hemmed
in
or
taken
away.
I
said
earlier
that
morale
is
a
difficult
discussion,
but
there's
also
an
opportunity
for
service.
C
In
this
discussion
by
remaining
united,
we
will
solve
these
issues
together.
I
want
to
briefly
discuss
some
of
the
issues
we
are
already
taking
on.
Staffing
is
a
major
issue
and
we
added
25
new
hires
into
this
year's
budget.
50
more
are
called
for
2017
and
2018.
This
is
an
addition
to
the
regular
replacement
of
all
retirees.
The
tenure
program
has
been
cancelled
and
is
being
replaced
with
a
new
sworn
transfer
policy.
The
work
on
this
policy
is
being
completed
in
partnership
with
the
Auto
Police
Association.
C
We
have
begun
a
wellness
strategy
with
major
investments
in
this
year's
budget.
That
investment
includes
peer
support
and
resiliency
coordinators,
as
well
as
me,
a
major
in
the
real
year
program.
We're
also
trying
to
get
better
a
better
understanding
of
the
increase
in
accommodations.
For
some
members.
We
need
to
support
those
members
but
also
understand
and
deal
with
the
staffing
pressure
accommodations
by
putting
on
a
front
line,
extensive
consultations
on
the
serve
initiative.
Service
initiative
had
been
underway.
C
Deputy
chief
Killian
super
tender,
Mike
Flanagan,
had
have
initiated
a
patrol
Advisory
Committee,
which
is
comprised
of
frontlines
constables.
This
will
help
ensure
these
officers
have
a
voice
in
raising
important
issues
and
play
a
role
in
addressing
them.
What
more
needs
to
be
done,
and
we
will
do
it
together?
The
executive
command
and
all
senior
officers
are
united
in
our
support
of
our
membership
and
the
work
they
do
each
and
every
day
the
discussion
became
heated
in
the
past
few
days.
C
Well,
I
want
the
board
to
know
that
I
recognize
your
commitment
to
our
Police,
Service
I
know
you
believe
in
and
support
the
membership.
The
work
you
do
is
integral
part
to
our
mission.
I
mention
accountability.
My
remarks,
all
members
of
the
service
are
accountable,
and
that
includes
me
recently.
There
have
been
two
accusations
raised
regarding
my
conduct:
I
have
never
restored
the
board
and
I
have
in
no
way
influence
the
outcome
of
a
ticket
issued
to
my
family
member.
C
There
are
clear
processes
in
place
to
investigate
the
conduct
of
a
chief
of
police
in
Ontario
and
I
have
no
concerns
about
them
being
followed
from
constable
to
chief,
the
members
of
our
service
shoulder
great
responsibility
in
keeping
the
community
safe.
We
need
to
focus
forward
in
work.
Inward
to
ensure
that
our
members
have
the
support
they
need,
we've
already
have
already
begun
that
work
and
all
members
suam
civilian,
should
know
that
we
understand
there
is
more
to
do
and
that
we
are
listening.
C
B
I
have
supported
the
members
of
the
o-p-s
since
I
started
on
this
board,
and
that's
why
the
emotion
that
were
caused
by
a
comet
attributed
to
me
in
the
media
last
week
saddened
me
because
I
said
it
and
I
said
it
time
and
time
again,
ninety-nine
percent
point
nine
of
our
members
do
a
great
job
in
our
community
day
in
and
day
out,
and
for
that
we're
grateful
to
to
have
one
of
the
safest
city
in
the
country.
Because
of
these
men
and
women
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
pressure
and
frustration.
B
B
We
have
tenors
the
chief
outlining
other
initiatives
underway
to
address
members
concern
how
the
place
might
be
marked
by
the
change
that
the
chief
and
the
member
of
police
service
have
the
words
full
support
and
confident
and
together
we
will
address
the
concern
about
morale
and
the
chief
stated
we
need
to
work
on
it
together
and
with
that
I'll
open
the
floor
to
my
colleague.
If
any
comment
or
question
to
the
chief
is
Beverly
Perry,
none!
B
Okay!
Thank
you
very
much
chief
for
your
verbal
report
on
the
Chiefs
favorite
report.
You
see
you
see,
thank
you
and
I.
Have
a
motion
from
members
Norwood
to
move
in
camera.
So
I
would
ask
you
don't
mind.
That's
all
our
our
meeting
adjourn
and
with
a
motion
to
move
in
canvas
and
rule
by
number
Smallwood.
Thank
you
very
much
folks
and
have
a
good
evening.
