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.

Huron Detachment 2014-2016 Action Plan
Ontario Provincial Police
Message from the Detachment Commander
The Huron County OPP is pleased to present the 2014 Action Plan. 2014 represents year one of a three year
action plan concluding in 2016. Our successes over the prior business planning cycle period of 2011 – 2013 was
most noticeably demonstrated in our sustained focus on public safety strategies, reduction of property crimes and
decrease in personal injury motor vehicle collisions. In the recently completed (Spring 2014) Community
Satisfaction Survey for Huron County, 98.9% of respondents felt ‘very safe’ or ‘safe’ in their Community.
This Huron County 3 Year Action Plan articulates our organizational direction while formalizing community
engagement, public safety education and our enforcement strategies to address specific issues be it violent crimes
or “pocket dials”. The Huron County Detachment Action Plan is aligned with the OPP Provincial and the OPP West Region’s Action Plan to
ensure borderless consistency in service delivery of our Action Plan while also responding to unique community safety concerns.
The Alignment of our Detachment’s Action Plan with Ontario’s Mobilization and Engagement Model of Community Policing remains as a key
element to success. Through crime analysis and consultation with our community partners and external stakeholders, crime prevention measures
reflecting the unique needs of our communities are implemented. Our detachment remains focused on Intelligence Lead Policing and a thriving
Crime Abatement Strategy. The inescapable correlation between illicit drug activity and property crime criminality is specifically addressed in our
action plan. Traffic safety through visibility and enforcement on County Roads and Provincial Highways aligned with increased educational
awareness of the “Big 4” collision causal factors; impaired driving, speeding, inattentive/distracted driving and non-compliance with occupants’
restraints remain entrenched in our front uniform service delivery approach.
We remain cognizant of the economic environment we are operating in. We are committed to providing municipalities with cost-effective, service
delivery orientated, professional police services. We must continue to be diligent, collaborative, resourceful and innovative in the development of
our strategies.
The continued dedication of our members combined with the support and governance of our local police services boards and municipalities are
integral for our continued success in keeping our communities safe.

Property crime has been one of the most challenging aspects of crime prevention in Huron County
Rural properties within Huron County often present themselves as easy and inviting targets of opportunity to offenders
Most property crime in Huron County can be directly attributed to the illicit drug trade
Property crime has serious financial and emotional impacts on the victims and the communities in which they reside
Property crimes tax police resources and impact a community’s perception as to the effectiveness of police

Illicit drugs have a significant negative impact on the community, straining community resources by way of shelters, health programs, medical
facilities, and outreach programs
The drug trade also contributes to the involvement of organized crime within our communities
The illicit drug trade directly impacts on almost all areas of crime within a community

Traffic
**The Big Four causal factors of fatal, personal injury and property damage collisions on roadways, waterways and trails: impaired (alcohol/drug),
speeding/ aggressive and inattentive/distracted driving and lack of occupant restraint and safety equipment
•
•
•
Fatal MVCs continue to be a concern for Huron county residents, with 6 persons being killed in 2011, 6 killed in 2012 & 5 killed in 2013
Personal injury collisions have reduced by 2.26 % but still remain at a high level, with 1,165 collisions in 2011, 1,108 collisions in 2012 &
1,093 collisions in 2013
Distracted driving offences continue to be a concern for our members with 126 charges laid in 2011, 180 charges laid in 2012 & 284 charges
laid in 2014. It would appear that the motoring public is not realizing the potential consequences of distracted driving as it is also the most
significant causal factor of motor vehicle collisions of the Big Four.

* Animal Involved Collisions

Analysis of traffic data indicates driver inattention as a primary casual factor in many detachment animal related collisions
Further analysis of traffic data indicates a need for continued focus on targeted education initiatives such as media releases & community
educations & awareness
The increasing number of animal related collisions within Huron detachment area (365 in 2012 and 390 in 2013) highlights a community
safety concern and obvious need for additional education in this area
