OUR VISION
Safe Communities... A Secure Ontario
OUR MISSION
Committed to public safety, delivering proactive and innovative policing in partnership with our communities.
OUR VALUES
Professionalism, Accountability, Diversity, Respect, Excellence and Leadership
Ontario’s Mobilization & Engagement Model of Community Policing
Community Engagement & Liaison
Communities which have the greatest capacity to
resolve issues that threaten their safety, security
and well-being, require the least police assistance.
Situational Crime Prevention Measures: focus on
specific forms of crime - like double-cylinder, dual
bolt locks that prevent some forms of break and enter.
Police may have to find the natural community leaders
and engage them to help community members
increase their own safety, security and well-being.

Haliburton Highlands Detachment 2014-2016 Action Plan
Ontario Provincial Police
Message from the Detachment Commander
As the Detachment Commander of the Haliburton Highlands OPP detachment, I am pleased to provide you
with our 2014-2016 Detachment Action Plan. The members of Haliburton Highlands Detachment work hard
year after year to provide the best possible level of policing to all residents and visitors to our County.
The year 2014 marks the beginning of a new three year Action Planning cycle (2014 – 2016). This plan
articulates the Detachment’s priorities based on analysis of past years operational data and consultation
with the Community Policing Advisory Committee (CPAC). Priorities will be addressed in the coming years
within the construct of Ontario’s Mobilization and Engagement Model of Community Policing. In this
document I will outline the specifics of each issue identified along with the rational for the focus.
Using an analytical approach, our detachment is able to identify focused patrol strategies which put our
members in the right places at the right times to target specific public safety concerns. Analysis, whether
crime or traffic information and the resulting intelligence, continues to better position us to strategically
deploy our resources and maximize our impact. Due to our success in 2013, we will continue throughout 2014 to embed an analytical approach
into our resource deployment. Past analytical analysis and the 2012 Community Satisfaction Survey identified property crime and the proliferation
of drugs in the county to be a concern. We responded by focusing resources to these issues which resulted in a significant reduction of the
number of break and enters since 2012, and an increase in drug arrests. However, recent analysis has indicated a slight rise in the incidents of
violent crimes. As a result, assault and other crimes against a person are a priority of this Action Plan.
True measures of our success are reflected within our four communities through the absence of crime, people feeling safer and reduced
victimization. Safe communities are the foundation for prosperous communities. The evolving complexities of crime, in addition to the
unpredictable nature and demands of major investigations, critical incidents and emergency response, require a significant and continued
investment to ensure public safety. I know our detachment members are up for the challenge.
The continued dedication of our members together with the support, input and governance of our local Community Policing advisory Committee
and municipal leaders are integral for our continued success in keeping our communities safe.

Trends:
•
Significant enforcement efforts have contributed to a steady decline in Thefts and Break
and Enters.
•
Frauds continue to creep upward. Continued efforts to educate seniors though our CSO
programs will hopefully reverse these trends in upcoming years.
•
Mischiefs are generally related to domestic occurrences and loitering youth. Strict
adherence to internal domestic policy and increased interaction with youth will continue.

Haliburton Highlands Detachment 2014-2016 Action Plan
Ontario Provincial Police
Our Detachment
•
Haliburton County consists of the Municipality of Dysart et al, the Municipality of Highlands East, the Township of Algonquin
Highlands, and the Township of Minden Hills.
•
Haliburton County is home to 17,026 permanent residents with an estimated seasonal population of over 48,000. The County’s population is
significantly older than the Province as a whole, with seniors making up 27.9% of the total population in 2011 compared to 14.6% for Ontario.
This proportion is expected to increase to 41.4% by 2036.
•
The County is a rural community and the settlement pattern reflects this trend. Permanent residents occupy 35.73% of the dwellings, and
64.27% of the dwellings are seasonal dwellings. Private dwelling counts have increased from the 2006 Census by 108 dwellings. However,
the number of permanently occupied dwellings has increased by 655 dwellings. Based on these statistics, 547 dwellings have been converted
from seasonal occupancy to permanent occupancy.
•
According to the 2011 Census, there are 7,633 households in the County. The average income of these households is the lowest in the
Province at $54,721 in 2005.
•
The unemployment rate in Haliburton County was higher than that for the Province; 7.5% in 2006 compared to only 6.4% for the province.
Unemployment increased noticeably between 2001 and 2006, and exceeds that for Ontario as a whole.
•
The majority of jobs in the County are in the retail, trade and construction sectors. Accommodation and food services as well as arts,
entertainment and recreation also employ a large proportion of the labour force in the County and a higher proportion compared to the
Province. Part-time and part-year jobs make up a large proportion of the County’s economic activity.
•
With an area of 4,071.86 square kilometres, more than 900 lakes (600 named), and approximately 940 kilometres of trails. Haliburton
Highlands Detachment area is very popular with hunters, anglers, water sport enthusiasts, ATVer’s, snow-mobiler’s, and all other forms of
outdoor activity enthusiasts.
•
Approximately half of Haliburton County is Crown Land. Due to the county’s expanse and proximity to large urban centers it is a popular
destination of organized crime groups to grow illicit drugs.

Ontario Provincial Police
List of Priorities for 2014-2016
The OPP’s action planning process ensures compliance with the Adequacy and Effectiveness of Police Services Regulation (Adequacy
Standards) filed as O. Reg. 3/99 in 1999.
Through assessment, analysis and consultation, the following priorities were identified under three categories: crime, traffic and other policing.
The priorities reflect provincial, regional and local issues. Subsequent local analysis and consultation will further identify the specific areas of
focus for this detachment. Priorities will be addressed by effective management strategies combining engagement, education and enforcement.
Operationalized within the construct of Ontario’s Mobilization and Engagement Model of Community Policing these strategies will provide the
foundation for sustainable community safety and reduced victimization.

The number of incidents of assault continues to rise and is up 5.25% over last year
Domestic assaults account for 36% of the total; assaults among acquaintances (friends and/or associates) account for 15% of the total; assaults
as a result of a family dispute account for 12% of the total and school yard assaults account for 10% of the total. The remaining 25% involve a
variety of relationships including landlord and tenant, co-workers, contractors and clients and assaults that have occurred at group homes.
There were no reported incidents whereby the victim did not know the assaulter during 2013
Alcohol and/or drugs were deemed to be a contributing factor in a large percentage of the reported occurrences
Our goal is to address the upward trend of assaults and sexual assaults through strict enforcement of offenders and engagement with
offenders through our Crime Abatement Program
