Action PlAn haliburton highlands Detachment 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. Community & Police Community Mobilization & Crime Prevention COMMUNITY MOBILIZATION Actions and initiatives that police officers take to motivate and support neighbours to deal more effectively with the root causes of crime and insecurity in their neighbourhoods. Community Safety & Consultation COMMUNITY Community includes every person or organization that is affected by any real or anticipated threat to peace, safety, security and well-being. COMMUNITY POLICING Community Policing is the process by which police and other community members partner to improve community wellbeing, safety and security through joint problem identification, analysis, response and evaluation. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Police actions that encourage participation of neighbours and citizens in increasing their own and others safety, security and well-being.

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.

Safe Communities – A Secure Ontario 7 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. Safe Communities – A Secure Ontario 8 Haliburton Highlands Detachment 2014-2016 Action Plan Ontario Provincial Police Our Detachment Community Satisfaction Survey Year: 2012 This survey is a tool for gathering public opinion on policing issues and ratings of OPP service delivery. It can serve as: • • • • a report card detailing how the people served by the OPP rate that service; a gauge of public concern about crime and policing issues; an indicator for making improvements to police services; and a means to measure how Ontarians view the OPP's service delivery. The OPP Community Satisfaction Survey is a telephone survey conducted with the general public by research company R.A. Malatest & Associates Ltd., on behalf of the OPP. The survey is conducted for each OPP detachment every three years and annually province-wide. Randomly selected telephone numbers and Random Digit Dial were used to sample respondents who were at least 16 years old, where no member of the household was employed by the OPP. There were 155 respondents sampled from Dysart et al, 95 from the Township of Minden Hills, 80 from the Municipality of Highlands East and 51 from the Township of Algonquin Highlands. There were a total of 381 randomly selected respondents to this survey; 55% were female and 45% were male. 1. 99% of respondents felt “very safe” or “safe” in their community 2. 91.7% were ‘very satisfied’ or ‘satisfied’ with the ease of contacting the OPP 3. 83.2% said the OPP were “very involved” or “somewhat involved” in their community 4. 90.9% were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the OPP’s ability to work with communities to solve local problems 5. 88.7% were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the OPP’s visibility in their community 6. 94.1% were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the OPP’s visibility on the highways 7. 41.1% believed that property crime is a problem in their community 8. 46.1% believed that drug/substance abuse is a problem in their community; 53.3% believe drugs in schools is a problem 9. 87.1% were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the OPP’s enforcement of aggressive driving laws 10. 90.2% were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the OPP’s enforcement of drunk driving laws 11. 92.9% of respondents were “very satisfied” or “satisfied” with the quality of police service provided by the OPP Safe Communities – A Secure Ontario 9 Haliburton Highlands Detachment 2014-2016 Action Plan 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.
