Police Service Board Report November 2013
Detachment Commander’s
Communiqué
I am pleased to present you with the Police Services Board Report for the months of September
and October 2013. Our frontline policing services supported by a dedicated team of civilian
personnel continue to provide quality services to our community 24/7, 365 days a year. Our
police service supported by many including mayor and council, police services board,
government and non-government agencies along with the many social service agencies and
community volunteers truly makes this a great city to live, work and play.
Early this year the OPP conducted a community
satisfaction survey in the City of Quinte West. I am
pleased to advise that 96% of the survey respondents
felt “very safe” or “safe” in our community
compared to 96.3% in 2010. Based on the survey
results, we will continue to tailor and improve our
services and programs to meet the needs and
expectations of the community. Further details of the
survey will be released within this report.
As stated in my 2013 business plan a true measure of
success are reflected within our community through
the absence of crime, people feeling safer and
reduced victimization. Safe communities are a
foundation for prosperous communities.
As your Detachment Commander I am committed to
delivering quality policing services focused on public safety, relationships, workforce and cost
effectiveness.
Sincerely,
Inspector M.J. (Mike) Reynolds

The detachments’ top priorities in 2013 are:
1. To maintain, create and enhance relationships and
partnerships.
2. To continuously monitor our crime trends in order to
focus our activities to further reduce crime and
ultimately enhance community safety.
3. To ensure the safe, orderly movement of city traffic
through education and the reduction of collisions
through communication and enforcement.

On 14 September 2013 police responded to a male who had been stabbed in the Bay Street area of
Quinte West. The victim had become involved in a verbal dispute with his wife and was subsequently
stabbed during the course of the argument. The investigation was lengthy in that there were many

weapon. The case is presently before the courts.
Child Pornography Investigation
In September 2013 members of the OPP Child Sexual Exploitation Unit became involved with the
investigation of a 37 year old male from Quinte West as it pertained to the possession of child
pornography. As part of the investigation, a search warrant was conducted assisted by crime unit
members. The male in question was subsequently arrested and charged with several child
12
pornography related offences. The case is presently before the courts.
Break and Enter Investigation
During the spring of 2013 a series of break and enters took place in the Highway #2 east area of
Quinte West. A significant number of these incidents occurred to various stored boats at the Bay
Marine. Investigation involving DNA / search warrant revealed a 17 year old young person as the
alleged perpetrator. This male was subsequently arrested and charged with 7 counts of break and
enters along with 4 counts of mischief as well as several other criminal offences. The case is before
the courts with a next appearance date set for the end of November 2013.
Robbery Update
In June 2013 a robbery occurred at Karten Metals in Quinte West. A significant amount of currency
was stolen as a result of the robbery. At the time and shortly thereafter, three persons were charged
with the offence. Ongoing investigation revealed a fourth male that was involved with the incident.
This male was arrested and charged. Three accused are presently in custody with a preliminary
hearing set for the end of January 2014.

School Resource Officer
Crossing guard training and school lockdowns keep Constable McCaughen busy as
schools started back up in September.
School Resource Officer Maggie McCaughen has had a busy fall season in the local high schools
and elementary schools. As students and staff headed back to school in September Maggie
participated in the crossing guard training as well as student bus patroller training. The student bus
patrollers were taught how to assist their bus drivers in keeping the school bus a safe environment
and how to safely evacuate the bus in an emergency situation. Maggie has also been assisting each
of the schools with the first of their two mandatory lockdown drills of the school year and she is
working closely with the schools to improve their safety plans.
In November, Maggie will be partnering up with Kelly Campbell, Manager of the Children's War Amps
program, to deliver Play Safe presentations to over 1,100 Quinte West students grades two through
five. The Play Safe presentation teaches students how to recognize the dangers in their community.
In December, Maggie will be inviting local youth to participate in the OPP Festive RIDE (Reduce
Impaired Driving Everywhere) Campaign. Maggie will be dropping off LCBO bags in the schools and
allowing students to decorate them and help deliver important messages to consumers about not
drinking and driving and arranging for a safe ride home this holiday season. The decorated bags will
be returned to the LCBO for distribution to customers. Finally, Maggie will end the 2013 year by
delivering the OPP KIDS (Knowledge, Issues, Decisions and Supports) program to grade six classes
at Queen Elizabeth School, Murray Centennial School and VP Carswell School. The KIDS program is
a six week program that covers topics such as Drugs, Youth and the Law, Mental Health Awareness
and Peer to Peer relationships.
Community Services Officer
Elder fraud remains a key focus of Quinte West OPP
The annual Scottish/Irish Festival was a
success. Volunteers from Quinte West
Community Policing were in attendance with
information on senior issues, safe driving as
well as information that would benefit our
young people. Quinte West OPP Canine
Handler Constable Jeff Scott attended,
displaying equipment and conducting
demonstrations with his canines.
Help is Available
If you suspect elder abuse, contact your
local police at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime
Stoppers 1-800-222-8477.
In case of emergency , dial 9-1-1.
With the returning of the school year many
local groups returned to their regular
scheduled functions. In September PC Ludington had the opportunity to attend two Scout Canada
meetings speaking on drug and alcohol abuse and how to street proof young people.
14
The Community Policing volunteers, along with officers
from our detachment, attended the VON senior’s lunch in
September to serve lunch and deliver a brief presentation
addressing Senior Fraud.
During the month of October Constable Ludington met with
the Ontario Farmers Association Executive Committee and
delivered a farm vehicle safety presentation. Topics
included duties and obligations of farmers while operating
their equipment on the roadways.
The PARTY program started again this fall with
presentations continuing throughout the next few months
at the Trenton Memorial Hospital. This year organizers
included a mock car collision with the assistance of the
Quinte West Fire Department, local EMS and Weaver’s
Funeral Homes. Approximately 200 students from Quinte
West High Schools and ENSS attended to witness
emergency responders in action as they would in a real life
motor vehicle collision.
Distracted Driving education aimed at the youth remains a
focus of the Quinte West OPP. Quinte West OPP have
assisted the Hastings and Prince Edward Health Unit to
introduce a program at Bayside High School speaking
about the risks associated to distracted driving.
Organizers received very favorable feedback from both
students and staff.
Quinte West is preparing for Crime Prevention Week
which occurs in November. High School Crime Stoppers
and elder fraud will be the main focus of Quinte West OPP
during this week long initiative. Quinte West OPP will be
in schools delivering Crime Stopper presentations. In
addition, they will be visiting senior’s clubs and homes
educating seniors about elder fraud. Quinte West OPP
make educating seniors about emerging frauds and scams an ongoing priority. Since January 2013
Quinte West OPP have delivered educational presentations to more than 400 seniors.
15
Traffic and Marine Safety
Strategic traffic enforcement initiatives proving to be successful.
The Traffic Management Unit maintains a mandate to reduce collisions throughout the City of Quinte
West. The unit deploys reduction strategies through visibility and enforcement to our high collision
areas. Further, maintains the capacity to effectively respond to complaints of high speed and
aggressive driving on our roads. Local research shows Quinte West OPP investigate approximately
60 collisions per month or 15 per week. Of the 15 collisions, 10 will occur on weekdays in Trenton
along the main arteries and for the most
part be intersection related. Further,
these collisions will occur during
daylight hours. That being said the City
has seen an 8.04% reduction in
collisions from 2012 to 2013 (year to
date). Personal Injury collisions have
been reduced by 4.72%, Property
Damage collisions are down by 8.66%,
and Single Vehicle collisions have been
reduced by 6.22%. Our goal for the
remainder of the year and looking
forward into 2014, is to use an
intelligence lead policing approach and put in place strategies to further reduce collisions in the City
of Quinte West. Traffic volumes, trends and speeds will be managed through frontline policing
resources being deployed effectively to maximize efforts.
Left: Quinte West OPP watch over one of
Trenton’s busiest intersections. Collision
data reveals a need for greater
enforcement and education at these busy
intersections as a strategic approach to the
overall reduction of motor vehicle
collisions resulting in safer streets for
motorists and pedestrians.

OPP Introduce Advanced Technology
in Cruisers to Assist Officers
Quinte West OPP using advanced technology in cruisers to assist officers.
Recently, members of the Quinte West OPP Detachment participated in a pilot project using the MPS
system. This system is a mobile computer system which gives officers access to data networks while
on the road. This system allows the Provincial Communication Centre (PCC) to send calls directly to
the officer’s screen. This gives the officer access to first-hand information, the call for service links to
previous occurrences, and CPIC information on the involved parties. The operating system allows
officers to search for people, plates, vin and other data sources and check their status on the CPIC
system. Having access to more information increases the level of officer safety, gives the officer
access to resources and creates a network to
link all of the online systems. From the screen
within a car, officers can check the status and
location of other officers on the GPS map,
check what occurrences other officers are
working on and check what calls remain in
the cue. When an occurrence is selected, it
can be read over and dispatched to that
officer. The task is linked directly to the
officer’s task list and the officer is given full
access to the data.
The information provided to the officers gives
them background information prior to arriving
at the call. They also have access to

occurrence data, which includes; time stamps,
software to assist him with his front line duties.
occurrence number, and caller information.
Officers also have the capability to conduct a
traffic stop at the push of a button. The information, linked to GPS, marks out the location and creates
an occurrence. The officer can input the plate number and driver information in order to check their
status. When a stop is cleared, the incident is cleared. If a stop develops into an offence, the
occurrence type may be changed and the linked information is transferred to the police records
management system. Any significant pieces of data can be added by the PCC and the officer, simply
by adding lines to the call, such as; Tow on scene, vehicle removed, roadway open, etc. This can
assist in creating a timeline for the call, as well as updating the PCC and other units without using up
air time. Finally, when a call is completed, it can be cleared by the officer with the appropriate
clearing, without using up air time. This system gives officers access to more information and reduces
radio traffic to necessary transmissions only. All aspects of the MPS system create a more
informative and safer officer experience.

Quinte West OPP and Social Services
Sharing a Vision for the Future
Quinte West OPP is hoping to make social services more accessible to the
local community.
The City of Quinte West has seen an increase in the cases as well as needs for Mental Health
Services. The need for the services has largely been due to the fact that facilities that use to house
and manage people with mental health issues have closed and are reducing the numbers of beds.
Quinte West OPP often reach out to community services to assist them when dealing with mental
health matters. The Children’s Mental Health Facility is a full time service with a number of support
workers available to assist police. The City of Quinte West offers the Arson Prevention Program for
Children or TAPP-C. This program contains a mental health component. The program is operated
through referrals and sees the OPP partnering with the Quinte West Fire Department and other
agencies.
The KIDS (KNOWLEDGE ISSUES DECISIONS SUPPORTS) program taught in schools offers a
mental health component dealing with mental health related issues in our youth as well as ways to
cope and places to turn to if a young person needs help.
Quinte West Detachment Commander Inspector Mike Reynolds sits on the Human Services and Joint
Justice Committee which has representatives from both the adult and youth mental health services.
This committee also has representatives from groups and agencies that deal with mental health
issues such as addictions.
Quinte West OPP officers receive LEED training. This training helps officers identify persons with
mental health issues. It also instructs police on ways to effectively communicate with individuals to
get the information they require to get that person the proper help they require.
Currently many of the support agencies do not have offices in Quinte West. Most of the services are
located in Belleville. Recently many support agencies have expressed interest in locating to Quinte
West but have had difficulty finding office space that provides clients with any amount of privacy.
The Quinte West OPP has recently engaged the City of Quinte West about a plan to provide these
services with office space that is easily accessible to those needing the services while also respecting
their dignity and privacy.

Message from the CVP President
Since our last report I am very proud to say that we as a group have progressed admirably. A new constitution
is ready to present to the membership at our next meeting. Our Vice- President, Al Wiegel, has submitted a
new 2014 budget to the City financial department for consideration. A new Certificate of appreciation program
has been implemented to recognized QWCP volunteers and other persons and organizations that have
supported us. Several QWCP members provided moral support and safety to the Air Cadets and Staff of 173
and 704 Air Cadets Squadrons during their 24 hour Vigil at the Cenotaph on November 10th and 11.th
As president I am proud to report that I have participated in several new initiatives such as “Take a Student to
Work,” attended the opening of the Quinte West Youth Center and we are hoping to be able to support them;
also I attended a Crime Prevention session promoting Crime Stoppers in several local High Schools with
Constable Ludington and Constable Maggie McCaughen. I was encouraged by the students’ interest in our
new plan to initiate as QWCP Junior Membership program. I collected ten names that are interested.
We have amended our constitution to accommodate junior member from 14 to seventeen.
As you can appreciate there are many aspects to consider before this program will ready to implement.
I plan to meet with Inspector Reynolds and S/Sgt Tovell shortly and hopefully I’ll have a full report for the Police
Service Board at the next meeting.

Our
Organization

Organizational Values
Organizational values are a part of all we say
and do. In 2002, the OPP formally adopted the
following values which have guided the OPP’s
organizational direction, strategic plan and dayto-day behaviours since that time:
•
•
•
•
•
Professionalism
Accountability
Diversity
Respect
Excellence
In 2010, the OPP added a sixth value:
Leadership. Leaders take the initiative to do the
right things for the communities they serve and
to inspire the people they lead. OPP members
lead by example.
These six organizational values are a clear,
public articulation of our commitment as an
organization and as individuals. They describe
what it takes to achieve the kind of relationships
and workplaces essential to effective policing.
For the OPP, organizational values serve to
anchor the organization, its leadership and its
employees through changing times. The OPP,
like many organizations, has to meet the
challenges of leadership turnover, baby boomer
retirements, rapid and global technological
change, increasingly complex public safety and
security issues, and very high public expectations
for responsiveness and accountability.
For organizations like the OPP that rely on
public trust and confidence, core values, lived
and shared consistently across the entire
organization, are essential for continued success.
These values represent the OPP’s public
affirmation of a continuing commitment to
professionalism and the highest standards standards on which our employees, and the
communities we serve, continue to rely.

MISSION:
Policing excellence through our people,
our work and our relationships.
