While the past few months have presented us with formidable challenges, the
personnel of 14 Division have been steadfast in their commitment to community safety
and their resolve to continue doing what they signed up to do. We are very active
within the community we serve, with impressive proactive policing efforts and resultant
significant accomplishments.
Members of the Major Crime Unit, along with the Community Response Unit, recently
executed a search warrant at an "after-hours" club at 178 Bathurst Street. This club is
located in an area which has caused a significant degree of concern for 14 Division
due to the high volume of calls, the nature of the calls, and large, intoxicated crowds of
people entering and leaving the premises. Approximately 300 people in the club at the
time the warrant was executed were identified and investigated. As a result, several
people were charged with either Criminal Code offences or Liquor Licence Act
offences. Drugs found strewn about the premise are currently being processed for
further investigation. A quantity of Canadian currency and numerous bottles of alcohol
were also seized. This is a prime example of effective teamwork and solid efforts by
all who assisted with this potentially volatile situation.
From attending Ryerson Public School at 96 Denison Avenue for a youth breakfast
program on weekday mornings, where officers assist staff members and interact with
the students, to attending the St. Felix Centre at 25 Augusta Avenue for a youth dropin program every Friday evening, Community Response Unit officers have been
extremely busy keeping in touch with our priority neighbourhood. Interestingly, a
Ryerson University student who is also a volunteer at the St. Felix Centre has been
doing a study of this interaction between youth and police and will be submitting a
paper later this month on the results, based on surveys completed by participating
youth and officers.
Community Response Unit officers have also been participating in activities such as
basketball, dodge ball, video games, and board games with Alexandra Park youth
since June.
An initiative led by the Neighbourhood Officers has developed between MJKO Boxing,
St. Stephen Community House and Scadding Court Community Centre. This initiative
involves setting up a non-contact boxing program for young people in the Alexandra
Park area, including a female only class.
2
Officers have also been attending meetings with City Parks Ambassador Troy Ford
and Manager Ray Stukas regarding drug and alcohol activity in Bellevue Square Park
(5 Bellevue Avenue). As a result of this proactive interaction, 14 Division officers have
been invited to attend an upcoming park re-design meeting for input on crime
prevention through environmental design.
Project “Green Glasses” concluded on September 30th and although we are still
analyzing the numbers, it was clearly a very successful project that resulted in more
civilized and respectful behaviour on the part of parks users.
The “Run to Remember” is a 460 km relay that begins at the Ontario Police Memorial
site at Queen’s Park in Toronto and ends at the National Memorial on Parliament Hill
in Ottawa. For those that participate in this three day relay, it is a way of
acknowledging fallen officers who have given their lives in service to their fellow
citizens. This year’s event ran from September 26-28 with 14 Division Officers Olga
Davydova and Laurie McCann running alongside their peers, including Constable
Andy Rosbrook.
If you recall from my May bulletin, Officer Rosbrook was a participant in the Goodlife
Marathon this past summer and collapsed from a near-fatal heart attack close to
where Officer McCann stood as she was performing a paid duty assignment. Officer
McCann was instrumental in providing first aid to Officer Rosbrook that helped save
his life. Soon after being cleared by medical professionals, Officers Rosbrook and
McCann began preparing for the “Run to Remember”, at the conclusion of which
Officer McCann was awarded the National Police Officer’s Memorial Run Award for
her quick response and assistance that helped save the life of a fellow officer. Officer
Chris Meuleman from 14 Division took part in the two-wheeled version of this event,
the “Ride to Remember”.
The 2013 Youth Scholarship Gala takes place on the 23rd of October at The Revival,
located at 783 College Street. Our hope is to raise substantial funds in order to
provide a number of $2500 scholarships for deserving young people living or studying
in our community. Dance performances by the Pia Bouman School for Ballet, a silent
auction, and a special appearance by “Planet Earth” are just part of what we have
planned for this spectacular event. If you haven’t already purchased your tickets, the
link to the website below will help make it easy for you. I know this will be a wonderful
and unforgettable evening for all who attend. I hope to see you there.

In conclusion, I am very proud of the efforts put forth by all the members of 14 Division
who have held their heads high in the face of sometimes unfair and uninformed
criticism. I am gratified by the overwhelming support we have received from members
of our community while we continue to do our best to serve and protect.

The next Service wide traffic campaign of 2013 is approaching.
It is ‘Operation
Impact’.
Traffic Safety continues to be identified as a Service priority. The 23nd annual ‘Operation Impact’ will
take place during the Thanksgiving weekend, commencing Friday, 2013, October 11 until midnight
Monday, 2013, October 14.
‘Operation Impact’, is a national traffic safety and enforcement initiative, presented in partnership
with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, Police Services from across Canada and Transport
Canada. Operation Impact’s goal is to bring together police services from across Canada to raise the
awareness regarding issues of public safety on our roadways.
Aggressive driving, not wearing seat belts, driving while impaired and distracted driving are
consistently the main causes of most fatal and serious-injury collisions. We all need to do our part to
reduce these tragedies on our roadways. The opportunity to actively save a life on duty is rare in itself,
and officers should realize that this initiative is an excellent tool to get the message out to the public.
Halloween Safety
•
•
•

•
A responsible adult with a flashlight should accompany children.
Teach children to use one side of the street at-a-time and never criss cross the roads.
Bright costumes that are light and visible to motorists are preferred.
Children should never, ever go inside an apartment or house without an adult.
Instruct your child not to eat any candy until a responsible adult has inspected it.
Halloween costumes should not restrict a child’s field of vision.
Remember, Road Safety Starts with You, have a Happy and Safe THANKSGIVING.

CRIME PREVENTION BULLETIN:
Playing it Safe on
Halloween Tips:
Halloween may be a fun holiday for kids,
but for parents, trick-or-treat time can be
a little scary. Concerns about children’s
safety—whether they are out in the
neighbourhood or back at home with bags
of treats—can cast a spell on the
evening’s festivities. But not to worry!
Following a few safety tips will ensure
that Halloween will be a “howling” good
time for all.
Your House and Neighborhood
• Welcome trick-or-treaters at home by
turning on your exterior lights.
• Remove objects from your yard that
might present a hazard to visitors.
• Keep the path leading up to your
entrance free and clear of obstacles.
• Drive slowly all evening.
• Vandalism is not a’ trick’ it is
against the law and has consequences.
• Report to Toronto Police any suspicious
or unlawful activity immediately. Non-
Remember to STOP, DROP
and ROLL if your clothing
catches fire:
STOP immediately,
DROP to the ground and cover
your face,
ROLL over and over until the
Flames go out
FUN ALTERNATIVES
Find special events to attend,
instead of house to house
trick or treating.
Look for a community centre
or place’s that are hosting
organized festivities.
Throw your own party.
10
emergency: 416-808-2222, emergency: 9-1-1.
Making Safe Costumes
• Check that costumes are flame-retardant so the little ones aren’t in danger near
candlelit jack-o-lanterns and other fire hazards.
• Keep costumes short to prevent trips, falls, and other bumps in the night.
• Encourage kids to wear comfortable shoes.
• Try makeup instead of a mask. Masks can be hot and uncomfortable and, more
importantly, they can obstruct a child’s vision—a dangerous thing when kids are
crossing streets and going up and down steps.
• Make sure kids wear light colors or put reflective tape on their costumes.
• Swords, knives, canes and other accessories should be made from cardboard or
other flexible materials. Make sure they are not to sharp or too long. A child may
trip and fall and easily hurt themselves.
Preparing Ghosts and Goblins for Their Tricks and Treats
• Make sure older kids go out with friends. Younger children should be
accompanied by an adult.
• Set a time limit for children to trick-or-treat. Together, map out a safe route so
you know where they’ll be. Remind them not to take shortcuts through
backyards, alleys, or playing fields.
• Ensure all traffic has stopped before crossing the street. Vehicles may have a
hard time seeing trick-or-treaters.
• Use flashlights and fresh batteries for your trick-or-treaters and their escorts.
• Remind kids not to enter a strange house, apartment or car.
• Try to get kids to trick-or-treat while it is still light out. If it is dark, make sure
the children are carrying flashlights that work.
Eating the Treats
• Kids need to know not to eat their treats until
they get home. One way to keep trick-or-treaters
from digging in while they’re still out is to feed
them a meal or substantial snack beforehand.
• Check out all treats at home in a well-lighted
place.
• What to eat? Only unopened candies and other
treats that are in original wrappers.
• Don’t forget to inspect fruit and homemade
goodies for anything suspicious. By all means,
11
remind kids not to eat everything at once.
Please review the safety tips with your children before heading out on Halloween.

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

Elder Abuse & Neglect:
Warning Signs, Risk Factors, Prevention,
and Reporting Abuse
Many elderly adults are abused in their own
homes, in relatives’ homes, and even in
facilities responsible for their care. If you
suspect that an elderly person is at risk from
a neglectful or overwhelmed caregiver, or being preyed upon financially, it’s
important to speak up. Learn about the warning signs of elder abuse, what the
risk factors are, and how you can prevent and report the problem.
What is elder abuse?
There’s an elderly neighbour you’ve chatted with at community meetings and
block parties for years. When you see her coming to get her mail as you walk up
the street, you slow down and greet her. She says hello but seems wary, as if she
doesn’t quite recognize you. You ask her about a nasty bruise on her forearm. Oh,
just an accident, she explains; the car door closed on it. She says goodbye
quickly and returns to the house. Something isn’t quite right about her. You think
about the bruise, her skittish behaviour. Well, she’s getting pretty old, you think;
maybe her mind is getting fuzzy. But there’s something else — something isn’t
right.
As elders become more physically frail, they’re less able to stand up to bullying
and or fight back if attacked. They may not see or hear as well or think as clearly
as they used to, leaving openings for unscrupulous people to take advantage of
them. Mental or physical ailments may make them more trying companions for
the people who live with them.
13
Many seniors around the world are being abused: harmed in some substantial
way often by people who are directly responsible for their care.
Where does elder abuse take place?
Elder abuse tends to take place where the senior lives: most often in the home
where abusers are often adult children, other family members such as
grandchildren, or spouses/partners of elders. Elder abuse can also occur in
institutional settings, especially long-term care facilities.
The different types of elder abuse
Abuse of elders takes many different forms, some involving intimidation or
threats against the elderly, some involving neglect, and others involving financial
dishonesty. The most common are defined below.
Physical abuse
Physical elder abuse is non-accidental use of force against an elderly person that
results in physical pain, injury, or impairment. Such abuse includes not only
physical assaults such as hitting or shoving but the inappropriate use of drugs,
restraints, or confinement.
Emotional abuse
In emotional or psychological abuse, people speak to or treat elderly persons in
ways that cause emotional pain or distress.
Neglect or abandonment by caregivers
Elder neglect, failure to fulfill a caretaking obligation, constitutes the largest
portion all reported cases of elder abuse.
Financial exploitation
This involves unauthorized use of an elderly person’s funds or property, either by
a caregiver or an outside scam artist.
Signs and symptoms of elder abuse
14
At first, you might not recognize or take seriously signs of elder abuse. They may
appear to be symptoms of dementia or signs of the elderly person’s frailty — or
caregivers may explain them to you that way. In fact, many of the signs and
symptoms of elder abuse do overlap with symptoms of mental deterioration, but
that doesn’t mean you should dismiss them on the caregiver’s say-so.
The following are some warning signs of some kind of elder abuse:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Frequent arguments or tension between the caregiver and the elderly
person.
Changes in personality or behavior in the elder.
Threatening, belittling, or controlling caregiver behavior that you witness.
Behavior from the elder that mimics dementia, such as rocking, sucking, or
mumbling to oneself.
Significant withdrawals from the elder’s accounts.
Sudden changes in the elder’s financial condition.
Items or cash missing from the senior’s household.
Suspicious changes in wills, power of attorney, titles, and policies.
Addition of names to the senior’s signature card.
Unpaid bills or lack of medical care, although the elder has enough money
to pay for them.
Financial activity the senior couldn’t have done, such as an ATM withdrawal
when the account holder is bedridden.
Unnecessary services, goods, or subscriptions.
Risk factors among caregivers
Many nonprofessional caregivers — spouses, adult children, other relatives and
friends — find taking care of an elder to be satisfying and enriching. But the
responsibilities and demands of elder caregiving, which escalate as the elder’s
condition deteriorates, can also be extremely stressful. The stress of elder care
can lead to mental and physical health problems that make caregivers burned out,
impatient, and unable to keep from lashing out against elders in their care.
Preventing elder abuse means doing three things:
•
•
•
Listening to seniors and their caregivers.
Intervening when you suspect elder abuse.
Educating others about how to recognize and report elder abuse.
What you can do as a concerned friend or family member
15
Watch for warning signs that might indicate elder abuse. If you suspect abuse,
report it.
Take a look at the elder’s medications. Does the amount in the vial jive with the
date of the prescription?
Watch for possible financial abuse. Ask the elder if you may scan bank accounts
and credit card statements for unauthorized transactions.
Call and visit as often as you can. Help the elder consider you a trusted
confidante. Offer to stay with the elder so the caregiver can have a break — on a
regular basis, if possible.
Protecting yourself, as an elder, against elder abuse
Make sure your financial and legal affairs are in order. If they aren’t, enlist
professional help to get them in order, with the assistance of a trusted friend or
relative if necessary.
Keep in touch with family and friends and avoid becoming isolated.
If you are unhappy with the care you’re receiving, whether it’s in your own home
or in a care facility, speak up. Tell someone you trust and ask that person to
report the abuse, neglect, or substandard care to an elder abuse helpline or longterm care ombudsman, or make the call yourself.

Queen West Residents Association
Who We Are:
A considerably large group of neighbours that live, work, play, raise children, own
businesses, and walk our dogs in this eclectic and vibrant neighbourhood. Many of
us have been here for over a decade and live west of Bathurst, north of Queen,
south of Dundas W and east of Trinity Bellwoods Park.
21
Our Goal
To work together – and with the Police, City Council and the community at large –
to make this a safer, more desirable neighbourhood.
Current Challenges
• Noise from bars/restaurants
• Drug dealing
• Graffiti
• Safety in the laneways
• Aggressive pan-handling
• Vandalism
What We’re Doing About It
Mobilizing, collaborating, exchanging names, addresses and contact information.
Creating a community within a community to diminish anonymity and take
positive action. In the past, we held meetings for residents and arranged
community meetings with the Police and our City Councillor and conducted a
community safety audit. At present, we communicate via a Facebook Group called
Queen Street West Residents Association. A few of the streets hold annual
street/laneway parties and some of the laneway residents hold regular laneway
clean ups.

From P.C. Gord Reid
--Crime Prevention
Our officers are very involved in our neighbourhoods. Here
are a few of the activities they have participated in:
On September 2, the NRO’s (Neighbourhood Resource Officers) attended Atkinson
Co-op and interacted with local youth playing basketball. The Officers conducted
meet and greets with the youths’ parents who were in attendance for the
basketball game.
On September 3, the NRO’s met with youth workers from St Stephens
