COST
RECOVERY AGREEMENTS
Member Hubley put forward an inquiry to the Chief
looking for data on how many calls for service involve cost recovery
agreements and how many should or could include cost recovery agreements. He
would like to know the resource impact and if there are any plans to add more
cost recovery agreements. He is looking for information on any agreements,
whether operational or staffing, that are not confidential.

ITEMS OF BUSINESS

Chief Bordeleau reported on the following items: Homicide Investigation, Project Flurry, Contraband Pills
Enforcement, a Sharp-eyed Constable, Canada Day Long Weekend, and the newly
hired Chief Human Resource Officer. A copy of the Chief’s verbal
report is available online.
Comments were made with respect to the significant
delays on Canada Day due to the security planning and how it may serve as a
deterrent for people wanting to attend future events. It was clarified that
blame was not being directed at the Ottawa Police as they were there as a
support as security planning for Parliament Hill is done at the Federal
level. The Chief defended the security posture that was taken but agreed the
length of time it took for people to move through the lines was unacceptable
and that event organizers could have been better prepared. OPS has
participated in some debriefs and a few others are scheduled to occur. OPS
will continue to work with security partners and provide input into security
planning.
A question was raised with respect to the process for
notifying Councillors of large scale incidents in their wards. The question
was sparked by an incident in late June/early July where an elderly man
wandered away from his home and the Councillor for the ward heard about it
through community members. It was noted that Councillors have extensive
networks they can tap into to help spread messages. The Chief noted media
releases were sent out, as were messages through social media. The Chair
directed the Executive Director to have a reminder message sent out to
Councillors regarding subscribing to OPS media releases.
The Chief further added that there is a process for
Councillor notification in place for major investigations and that it is
being updated to also include major deployments and other operations.
A question was raised as to whether any discussions
were taking place about having a system in place similar to Amber Alerts, for
seniors. The Chief indicated that often times with Amber Alerts, the child is
taken far away and on highways whereas seniors tend to remain local and
therefore efforts to locate seniors should focus on the local community.
