The following are some of the initiatives that were utilized during 2010: Directed Patrols – Directed patrols continue to be performed by officers of the Community Oriented Response Unit, Community Foot Patrol, and the six Patrol Sections. Directed Patrols are high visibility patrols utilized to reduce problems in areas of concern identified through community consultation and police analysis. In 2010, this type of patrol was utilized during both phases of Project LEARN (Liquor Enforcement and Reduction of Noise), Devil’s Night, Halloween, New Year’s Eve, and graffiti hotspot locations. The Community Oriented Response Unit (COR Unit) - The COR Unit is responsible for offering an integrated approach to problem solving, and increasing the interaction between the public and the police, by encouraging a shared responsibility in addressing and dealing with community issues. Issues range from crime prevention, drug awareness, prostitution, graffiti, liquor related issues and other public safety concerns. During 2010, COR Officers continued to attend community meetings, provide lectures to the community on a wide range of topics and investigate complaints. Graffiti Initiatives – During 2010, 271 active graffiti occurrences were handled by the Graffiti Co-ordinator. The LPS has a dedicated Graffiti Coordinator who reviews all graffiti occurrences, discovers patterns, and undertakes the required investigative intelligence efforts. They also coordinate larger scale projects, if required. The Strategic Intelligence Analysis Committee (SIAC) – The purpose of SIAC is to collect, analyze, and disseminate information to all operational areas of the LPS. SIAC is comprised of representatives from the LPS as well as from the University of Western Ontario Campus Community Police Service, the Ontario Provincial Police, and the Canada Revenue Agency. During 2010, SIAC members met on a weekly basis and continued to provide a coordinated integration of statistical, investigative, and intelligence information through the Crime Analysis Unit. Crime Prevention – The LPS continues to make Crime Prevention a priority within the community policing context. The Crime Prevention Officers, the volunteers of the Auxiliary Section and the COR officers work together towards proactive strategies, education and community involvement. “Facta Non Verba” -28- “Deeds Not Words”
