As the warmer months approach, we are bracing ourselves for a busy summer. We
anticipate being very busy dealing with the many community and special events taking
place in 14 Division.
On Sunday May 5, 2013, the Toronto Marathon had over 12,000 participants
representing over 50 countries, along with family and friends to cheer on their loved
ones in this annual event. As you may have read, one of our own officers from 54
Division, Toronto Police Constable Andrew (Andy) Rosbrook collapsed within the final
500 metres of the finishing line. Constable Rosbrook was most fortunate in that he
collapsed within the immediate vicinity of some well-trained individuals. Constable
Laurie McCann of 14 Division was working a paid duty assignment near the location of
Officer Rosbrook. PC McCann immediately reacted to the collapse, along with three
civilians, Dr. Andrew Wynot from London, Ontario; Dr. Matt Strickland and Tyler
Solomanko, of Toronto. Together, they performed CPR until paramedics arrived with
a defibrillator. I am happy to report that Constable Rosbrook was successfully revived,
had a quick recovery and has been doing very well. This truly is a remarkable
example of what teamwork is. I am very proud of the immediate reaction and the
gallant efforts of PC McCann and of Dr’s Wynot, Strickland and Mr. Solomanko all of
whom contributed to the successful lifesaving efforts on one of our very own.
It is at times such as these that we tend to reflect upon what we can do to help
someone in need. Something simple such as donating blood is just one effortless way
that almost anyone can do to help save a life, potentially our own. On June 10th, 2013,
The 14 Division School Watch will be hosting a Blood Drive with hopes of attracting a
minimum of 6 students from each school within the division to attend between 10am
and 2pm to come out and donate. Although the drive is primarily geared towards
students, I would encourage and welcome anyone who can donate to attend 14
Division and give the gift of life. We will also be organizing another blood drive
targeting the general public in the coming months.
In the March bulletin, I mentioned the 14 Division CPLC Scholarship program. The
initial goal was to raise $5000 for two scholarships. Through the assiduous
fundraising efforts of the CPLC, it was possible to provide four scholarships of $2500
to each recipient. We received applications from a number of students who were
residing in or attending school in 14 Division. The scholarship recipients were
identified at a ceremony on May 23nd, 2013. Present to award the scholarships was
2
CPLC co-chair, Cathy Byrd, CPLC Treasurer Brian Burchell, A/Staff/Sergeant
Catherine White from 14 Division and speaking on my behalf was 11 Division
Superintendent Peter Lennox. I extend my personal congratulations to the recipients
for this year, Lucia Brasil, Kristopher Sousa, Yangzom Drakto, and Bryan Chavez.
These $2500 scholarships will be matched in the second year by the respective
educational institutions. The following is a very brief biography of each of the winners.
Lucia Brasil is a St. Mary’s Catholic Secondary School student who
has been involved in developing anti-bullying initiatives, safe
community programs, and has raised funds for several charity events.
Lucia has also been involved anti-violence campaigns, such as The
White Ribbon and the Youth Community Police Liaison Committee
(YCPLC). She plans to study at George Brown College this fall in
either Early Childhood Education or Youth Work.
Kristopher Sousa supported local youth by enabling them to have
input in providing a safer community by developing the first Youth
Community Police Liaison Committee in 14 Division. Kristopher
plans to study Criminology at University of Toronto, in hopes of
eventually becoming a Police Officer.
Yangzom Dratko currently attends Central Technical School. She is
rather active in the yearbook club as well as various sports clubs her
community. Yangzom’s plan is to attend Carleton University this fall
to study Child Psychology.
Bryan Chavez has been an advocate surrounding the issues of antibullying and anti-violence initiatives. The White Ribbon Campaign,
Think Fast, Take Action and Me2We are just to name a few. This fall,
Bryan will be pursuing Finance and Accounting through Ryerson and
has aspirations of entering the business sector.
We congratulate all of our recipients and wish them all the best this fall with their
studies.
I also want to acknowledge Kris Sousa for his work as the Civilian Co-Chair of the 14
Division YOUTH Police Community Liaison Committee. Kris was instrumental with
the inception and success of the YCPLC. His tireless fundraising efforts and planning
for the upcoming scholarship gala is an example of his quality of work and
commitment to the YCPLC. Kris has received a number of awards for his community
engagement and leadership in the community. Kris has resigned his position as the
3
Civilian Co Chair as he will be attending University in September. On behalf of the
women and men of 14 Division, I would like to congratulate Kris and wish much
success in all of his future endeavors.
14 Division also congratulates eight new officers of the Toronto Police Service, who
have been assigned to our “flagship”. Our eight new recruits are; Constables Chi-Tak
Tam, Geoffrey Graham, Matthew Hoy, David Wiltshire, Jamie Breau, William Jung,
Daniel Murphy, and Diana Vigna. They all began their duties on May 20th, 2013.
Together they bring a great wealth of knowledge from having a wide range of
educational and employment backgrounds, and have an impressive selection of
language abilities including Chinese, Italian, French, and Korean. I have every
confidence that these officers will be welcome additions to the 14 Division family, and
continue to instill confidence of the community by achieving our mission to “Keep our
Neighborhoods safe.”

The Heat Alert System
How does the heat health alert system work?
From May 15th to September 30th of each year, Toronto Public Health staff
monitors the Heat Health Alert System to determine when the Medical Officer of
13
Health should declare a Heat or Extreme Heat Alert. Using spatial synoptic
classification, the Heat Health Alert System compares forecast data to historical
meteorological conditions which have in the past, lead to increased mortality in
Toronto.
Forecast data includes weather conditions such as temperature, dew point,
humidity, cloud cover, wind speed and direction. The system also considers the
number of consecutive days oppressive conditions occurred.
Heat Alert is when forecast weather conditions suggest that the likelihood of a
high level of mortality is between 25 and 50 percent greater than what would be
expected on a typical day.
Extreme Heat Alert is when forecast weather conditions suggest that the
likelihood of a high level of mortality is at least 50 percent greater than what
would be expected on a typical day.
What happens during a heat alert?
Once the Medical Officer of Health declares a Heat Alert, notification of key
response partners, community agencies and the public is initiated. Hot weather
response activities focus on protecting vulnerable groups at increased risk for
heat-related illness. Information on the response activities provided by the City
and community partners during a Heat Alert is outlined in the City of Toronto Hot
Weather Response Plan.
What happens during an extreme heat alert?
In addition to the services provided during a Heat Alert, the City opens seven
cooling centres when an Extreme Heat Alert is declared. Water and light snacks
are available at the seven cooling centres.
As well, during Extreme Heat Alerts:


Parks, Forestry and Recreation may extend operating hours of certain City
pools.
Toronto public health inspectors during extended heat events will visit
known rooming houses, boarding homes and other residential premises of
concern to determine if the recommended Hot Weather Protection Plan has
been implemented at the building.
BICYCLE SAFETY & EDUCATION:
14
A bicycle is the smallest vehicle
on the road. It is important,
therefore, for cyclists to be
visible, to ride predictably, to
know how traffic works, and to
communicate with other road
users.
Anticipating the traffic
behaviors of cars, trucks,
streetcars and even
pedestrians, can go a long way
to helping avoid accidents.
The Door Prize - "Watch for Bikes" Campaign
No one wants a Door Prize. Every time you open your door without checking for
cyclists and other traffic there is a potential for a serious collision to occur. As a
reminder to all car drivers, please check your mirror for cyclists and other traffic.
This is one prize you don't want to win.
Bike month runs from May 27th to June 30th. Help reduce emissions and ride as
much as possible.
Bicycle Safety tips for kids
1. Learn how injuries can occur as children grow

Most children love wheeled sports - biking, skateboarding, scooting - and
it's a great way for them to keep healthy.
 As children learn to ride, they need time to develop decision-making skills.
It is important for children to take time to develop balance and coordination
through practice.
 Be cautious! Once children learn to ride, they will want to go further and
faster. They may have trouble waiting for lights (or for a parent to catch
up) and can suddenly ride out on the road.
2. Create safer places for children to ride



Check the Road and Pedestrian Safety section to learn about the safest
places to ride and play.
Wear clothes that are easy for drivers to see - bright colours/reflective.
Be sure to ride on clear, even, and paved surfaces.
15

Try and stay away from traffic and pedestrians. Ride in safe places such as
the park, trails or school playground.
 If you want to try a wheeled sport, consider taking lessons before you start.
Please visit CanBike lessons and Skateboard Camps for more information.
3. Watch children closely

Caregivers should be close enough to reach children who learning to ride
any wheeled sports equipment.
 Children must be supervised until they have developed their skills OR are at
least 10 years old.
 Even older children may need on-going supervision.
4. Create and follow family rules


Make family safety rules with your children.
Help them understand why rules are important and always need to be
followed.
 Tell your children you are proud of them riding safely.
 Be a role model. Follow the safety rules because children learn by watching
you.
Bicycles






The rider's feet should touch the ground when sitting on the bike seat. Be
sure to wear shoes with covered toes.
Make sure breaks are working, the tires have air and the chain is securely
in place. See ABC Quick Check in the-Young Cyclist Guide for more
information. (Ministry of Transportation)
Make sure your bike has the proper safety equipment. The law requires a
bell or horn, lights (when riding at night white light to front and red
light/reflector to rear), reflector and reflective tape.
Street bicycle lanes are designated for bicycles only
Cyclists should use the road if their bike tires are larger than 61 cm and the
sidewalk if they are less than 61 cm.
Ontario's bike helmet law requires everyone under age 18 to wear an
approved bike helmet when riding a bicycle and the chin strap must be
securely fastened under the chin. (According to the Highway Traffic Act,
104 2.1)
The Highway Traffic Act of Ontario states:
16







218 (1) A police officer who finds any person contravening this Act or any
municipal by-law regulating traffic while in charge of a bicycle may require
that person to stop and to provide identification of himself or herself
(2) Every person who is required to stop, by a police officer acting under
subsection (1), shall stop and identify himself or herself to the police officer
(3) For the purposes of this section, giving one's correct name and address
is sufficient identification
(4) A police officer may arrest without warrant any person who does not
comply with subsection (2)
Always wear the right safety gear for the activity you are doing.
Walk equipment across an intersection. Riding through cross walks is illegal
and dangerous.
Never grab onto a moving car or other vehicles.
Only one person rides the bike. No passengers.
Avoid wearing headphones or using cell phones while riding.
Ride about 1 metre from the curb in a straight line; look well ahead and
avoid hazards such as potholes, sewer grates and debris.
Shoulder check and signal before turning or changing lanes.
Crime prevention




Register your bike and your local police station or on the internet at
www.TorontoPolice.on.ca.
Always lock your bicycle when not in use.
Lock your bicycle by placing a chain or cable through both wheels and the
frame and attach around a stationary object.
If your bike is stolen, report the loss to the police immediately.
The Toronto Police Service endorses the CAN-BIKE Program for children, adults
and instructors.
Call the CAN-BIKE HOTLINE at (416) 392-1311 or visit the City of Toronto's
website for more information on courses and other events.
Got A Bike? - Lock It Or Lose It
Bike riding and warm weather are a natural combination. When storing a bike in a
shed or garage, lock and attach it to the structure, a lawn mower or other heavy
and bulky equipment. Thieves do break into sheds and garages. Attaching a bike
17
to a piece of heavy equipment makes it more difficult to just walk or ride away
from the area. Register your bike online at:
https://webapp1.torontopolice.on.ca/BicycleRegistry/Submit
How Can I Find Out If A Bicycle Is Stolen?
The database for stolen bicycles can only be searched by entering a serial number.
To do this you can use the Is This Bike Stolen web app. Is This Bike Stolen is
a mobile-compatible, browser based interface that checks the CPIC database. You
can access it from a mobile browser on your phone or other internet device.
CPIC is a nation-wide service so bicycles stolen anywhere in Canada may appear
in the database. Please note that in some rare cases serial numbers may be
duplicated by manufacturers so you should check that the description of the
bicycle, especially the frame, matches the stolen property report.
If you come across a bicycle that is reported stolen, do not buy the bicycle! If
you think you have come across a stolen bicycle or know someone who is stealing
bicycles you can report it anonymously at Canadian Crime Stoppers or by
calling 1-800-222-TIPS. You can also SMS anonymous tips by typing TOR plus
your tip to CRIMES (274637) or online at tipsubmit.com.
Where can I find the serial number on a bike?

CRIME PREVENTION – A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY
All crimes should be reported to the police immediately, even if it is only an
attempt. Hesitate only long enough to ensure your safety. Crime cannot be
controlled or prevented if it is not reported. By reporting crimes and suspicious
activities you can protect yourself and others. Confrontation with suspicious
people or suspected criminals is not recommended. Remember your safety is
paramount. If a crime has occurred, do not touch anything or clean up until the
police have inspected it for evidence.
 Become the best witness possible by noticing details about the suspect,
mannerism, age, height, weight and appearance; compare them to
yourself or people you know.
 Memorize tattoos, scars or prominent features.
 Note clothing worn but keep in mind that outer clothing can be changed.
 Vehicle licence number, make, model, colour and number of doors.
 Call police immediately! Hesitate long enough to ensure your own safety.
Help us help you. Opening your eyes to your surroundings can mean closing your
neighbourhood to crime. To obtain brochures or further information, please
contact P.C. Gord Reid, 14 Crime Prevention at 416-808-1427 or email to:
