Chief's report
Letter from the Ontario Human Rights Commission dated
16 May 2017
Presentation
|
|
|
(A copy of the presentation is kept on file with the
Board’s Executive Director.)
Responding to a question pertaining to the new Transfer
Policy and how it would help support women with respect to promotions, Supt.
Bell noted that there is equal success proportionally for men and women as
they enter the promotional process. What the policy will enable is the ability
for individuals to gain experience and access to different jobs across the
organization based on a system that promotes based on breadth of experience.
It was noted that it is important to work with officers early on to provide
progressive training and development opportunities as they work through their
careers. One aspect of redeveloping the Transfer Policy is to clearly
identify the development of all officers’ needs with a more dedicated and
focused effort.
D/G Frazer explained there is a need for a broader
awareness program on how the new policies and practices will unfold. S/S I.
Granger, who has a high level of trust amongst members, will assist with the
process. The changes will be communicated through traditional means such as
the website and focus groups in order to help individuals appreciate the
changes and what they mean.
One focus of the Transfer Policy is to create specific
and delineated developments within the Service. The policy was approved last
year, and the need for 48 positions was identified to enable patrol members
to move into development opportunities. This will ensure a clear selection
process and a rotation for individuals to experience opportunities within other
sections. Gaining experience from investigative units has been found to be critical
to promotions.
Supt. Bell added that work is ongoing with Human
Resources to identify individuals who are on maternity / paternity leave. IT
changes will need to be made to ensure ottawapolice.ca posts sworn positions
as well as civilian positions. The communications plan will include a
notification to those going on leave to stay in touch to see what
opportunities are coming up.

Responding to comments regarding concerns that some community
groups have feel they aren’t being represented, Supt. C. Rheaume explained that
a call out for applications will be going out this week; first to community
policing communities and other partners such as COMPAC, then to community
organizations through a mail out (approximately 500 people and
organizations), and finally a media release through social network channels.
In response to a question regarding whether an environmental scan would be
taking place as part of the diversity audit to identify best practices, Supt.
C. Rheaume advised this requirement would be included in the Request for
Proposal (RFP).
