Services, re: Neighborhood Watch Signage

Mr. Normand, Manager, Emergency Services, Fire and Emergency Services provided clarification regarding the financial costs associated with creating and installing the requested signage for the Neighborhood Watch program.

Mr. Normand clarified that the City of Brampton will not take on such liabilities. The Neighborhood Watch program needs to comply with City by-laws with respect to the installation of signage as there is the ability to install the signage on their own accord, subject to City by-laws. Mr. Normand indicated that he suggested the program apply to the City’s community grant program in the future. Mr. Cody Vatcher, Vice-Chair, advised the Committee that he supported the staff recommendation report and asked for a recorded vote. Staff responded to questions with respect to the following:

The Neighborhood Watch program did not apply for the Community Grant program.

There is a by-law with respect to the installation of signage within the City of Brampton that applies to Churches and Non-profit organizations.

Report

Brampton Community Safety Advisory Committee

The Corporation of the City of Brampton 2018-04-24

Date: 2018-03-09

Subject: Proposed Draft of the Missing Persons Communication Protocol – Brampton – All Wards

Contact: A. Normand, x43360

Recommendations:

1. That the report from Alain Normand, Manager, Brampton Emergency Management Office, Fire and Emergency Services, dated April 11, 2018, to the Community Safety Advisory Committee Meeting of April 24, re: Proposed Draft of the Missing Persons Communication Protocol – Brampton – All Wards,

be received.

Overview:

Peel Regional Police receives over 2,100 calls for missing persons annually and in limited situations, would benefit from the support of the City of

Brampton.

In such cases, the City of Brampton may be called to assist by retransmitting the missing person’s advisory bulletin to all city staff.

A protocol has been established to ensure the proper approach is used in those situations. A first draft of the proposed communication protocol is

attached for committee discussion.

Background:

As per the Council resolution C048-2018, staff has reviewed existing protocols regarding

dissemination of information across City departments in relation to support for missing persons incidents by Peel Regional Police (PRP) or Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).

5.1-1

Page 39: Council Committee Room, 4th Floor, City Hall...recommendation report and power point presentation to the Committee and provided an overview of Bill 175, Safer Ontario Act, 2017, Part

Current Situation:

Peel Regional Police confirmed that they received over 2,100 missing persons calls in

2017. However, the need for additional support in locating missing persons is limited. For such instances, the City of Brampton may be called upon to assist by retransmitting the Missing Person’s Advisory bulletin from PRP or OPP to all departments. City of

Brampton staff can be made aware of the situation through their own departmental internal employee communications method.

Corporate Implications:

The attached draft protocol spells out how the message will be received and transmitted, and what is the expectation should a city employee locate a person reported as missing.

It is important to note that the intent is not to have staff initiate any search party, only to become aware of the situation during the course of their regular work activity. The proposed protocol is currently still in draft form for Committee discussion.

Strategic Plan:

This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities by leveraging healthy partnerships and enhancing good government practices in serving our citizens. Conclusion:

City of Brampton employees will be able to contribute to helping locate missing persons by being informed of situations when PRP or OPP request additional support.

STATEMENT The City of Brampton is committed to proactive, effective and responsible utilization of resources to empower

community partnerships for the purpose of building stronger and safer communities. Strengthening

PURPOSE The purpose of this protocol is to set out a notification procedure and outline expectations for employee response

to requests from police services for assistance in locating missing persons.

OUTCOMES This protocol is intended to:

Leverage and mobilize City resources to aid Police search efforts for missing persons by expanding the

reach of missing person’s information across the City with potential that:

o The missing person is found sooner.

IN SCOPE This protocol is to be activated exclusively when assistance is formally requested by Peel Regional Police or by

Ontario Provincial Police.

This protocol applies to all City services with direct interaction with the public or within the public realm.

Police requested assistance will be within the boundaries of increasing spatial awareness in regards to the

missing person while conducting and continuing regular operations.
