YOUR POLICE SERVICE

COMMUNITY FOCUSEDABOUT THE ORANGEVILLE POLICE SERVICE

Residents of the Town of Orangeville deserve the highest quality of policing. That is why it is important to have a provincially accredited, community focused team of frontline officers that are dependable and reliable. They are the first individuals the community meets when in crisis and, therefore, it is essential that your police service is fast, efficient and capable of dealing with your needs. Your Orangeville Police Service has 32 fully trained police constables including 14 acting sergeants and 6 accredited sergeants that are available 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The town is never without any officers at any time. There is always a fully trained sergeant or acting sergeant on duty at all times. It is safe to say that this is the reason that Orangeville remains one of the top 16% of the safest cities in Canada.

The Orangeville Police Service continues to recognize that mental health is an important element of our community’s overall well-being.

We care about our vulnerable community members and that is why we are continuing to build on our strong community partnerships to assist persons who may be in crisis, including mental illness, related disorders and substance abuse. This is accomplished through the following multi-faceted approach to meet the needs in our community through enhanced officer training, active involvement in the Dufferin Situation Table, Health IM reporting and partnering with Medic Alert.

We are proud to support our community by taking part in these efforts regarding mental health. Not only will these initiatives enhance the safety of some of the most vulnerable members of our community, but it also helps our clinicians, caregivers and paramedics provide vital lifesaving care when needed.

17

COMMUNITY FOCUSEDMENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

Orangeville Police is actively involved in the Dufferin Situation Table (DST) and has been since its formation in 2016. The DST committee ensures that our community agencies and services develop strong cross-sectoral collaborations to support women, men and children in our community who are identified as being in situations of elevated risk. Sixty-seven percent of referrals to the DST in 2018 came from the dedicated frontline officers of the Orangeville Police Service.

A review of Orangeville Police analytics revealed that frontline police officers, community members and healthcare personnel would benefit from an evidence based tool to assist them in risk assessment of individuals suffering from mental illness. In March of 2018, the Orangeville Police Service purchased the Health IM program. The benefits realized are as follows;

• provides healthcare staff with sound information from police observations;

• provides advance communication of risk factors;• expedites the risk assessment;• improves communication & collaboration

between frontline police and hospital staff providing an integrated and seamless system of care, resulting in efficiencies and a measurable reduction of officer wait times at the hospital; and

• allows the officer to make an immediate referral to the Dufferin Situation Table for persons who require support from multiple agencies.

In an effort to advance our level of care, Orangeville Police will be expanding the use of the Health IM tool to provide direct referrals to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Peel Dufferin commencing in July of 2019. This will expedite risk assessment and connection to an appropriate support agency.

Orangeville Police continues to build on our strong relationships with Medic Alert, expanding our area of support to include Shelburne to ensure the safety and well-being of our vulnerable community members.

TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETYTraffic and Pedestrian Safety is our priority. Your Orangeville Police Service believes in being accountable to you, the resident and business owner.

The complaint of Excessive Use of Force was investigated and unsubstantiated. The complaint of Unlawful/Unnecessary Exercise of Authority was resolved informally. The Allegation of Discreditable Conduct and the Chief’s Police Service Act conduct complaint involved the same officer. These allegations were not resolved in 2018 and were carried over to 2019.
