involved newer and younger officers.

10.
Business Arising
Regarding the treasurer’s report, George suggested the format of the report
should be changed.
11.
Unit Commander’s Report
a)
Crime Management Report: Supt. Fenton advised
the 7 major crime indictors have gone down by 7% which is down 1% compared
to last year. There has been an increase of 40 break and enters sporadically
across the division which is approximately a 13% increase. The trends for
break and enters are opportunistic which means depending on their motive and
nature for example it could be items that are easily sold to make a profit
or to be kept for themselves.
b)
Community Report:
S/Sgt McDonald mentioned there are currently 12 disorderlies and 1 drug
complaint. Once the school year ends the School Resource Officers will
continue to stay on day shift to gather intelligence information in hopes to
change the current method of solving break and enters and drug activity
within the division.
c)
Traffic Report:
S/Sgt McDonald stated there are currently 13 active complaints, 6 of which
are related to speeding. In regards to speeding complaints, we have sent out
speed studies to the City which can take six months or more to be initiated
and is not cost efficient. With that in mind, complaints will be assigned to
a Traffic Officer and they will be sent to the location of the complaint to
conduct observations and set up enforcement if deemed required. “Safe Cycle”
is 32 Division’s traffic imitative, the program targets youths 6 – 12 years
of age and educates them on road and equipment bicycle safety.
This is an education program and not an enforcement initiative.
Officers will be attending public schools and community events to
disseminate this program.
d)
Safe Schools:
S/Sgt. McDonald advised Northview will start “Gallop to Greatness” in
September which is funded by Proaction Cops and Kids. At Earl Haig, MADD
attended the school and presented the Shattered presentation. The total cost
for the presentation was $700.00, $200.00 of it will be covered using the
grant offered by the CPLC. A robbery was committed on the pathway from
Centerpoint to
12.
OACP Grant Program
Rick R. recalled the monies had to be spent in regards to the impact of
drinking and driving had on the driver. Within the four schools $800.00 was
to be split equally giving the amount of $200.00 to each school. If a school
will not be using the funds provided, that money can be used towards another
school to cover costs if necessary.
