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
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.
