Detachment Commander’s<br />
Update<br />
Acting Detachment Commander—A/Insp. Peter Valiquette<br />
I am pleased to have been given the opportunity to fill the position <strong>of</strong><br />
the Detachment Commander <strong>of</strong> <strong>Quinte</strong> <strong>West</strong> Detachment during the<br />
absence <strong>of</strong> Inspector Earl Johns. During the past month, I have had the<br />
opportunity to work with both the civilian and uniform staff <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Quinte</strong> <strong>West</strong> Detachment and to have a part in the day to day operations<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Detachment. I have also had the opportunity to meet and work<br />
with the Staff at <strong>City</strong> Hall as well as some <strong>of</strong> the members <strong>of</strong> Council.<br />
I appreciate the support that I have received to date and look forward to<br />
with everyone over the next few weeks.<br />
<strong>January</strong> and <strong>February</strong> <strong>2011</strong> has been a couple <strong>of</strong> busy months for our members. D/Sgt. Brad Robson will<br />
advise the Board members <strong>of</strong> two armed robberies which occurred within days <strong>of</strong> each other, during the<br />
month <strong>of</strong> <strong>January</strong>. Uniform members and members <strong>of</strong> the Crime Unit / Street Crimes Unit worked together<br />
to conduct a lengthy investigation into the incidents and were able to solve both cases. Those responsible<br />
have been charged and are presently before the courts.<br />
Our members have been working with <strong>of</strong>ficials from CFB Trenton in preparation for the Community Open<br />
House scheduled on the Base on the 4th and 5th June <strong>2011</strong>. This years theme “Your Wing—Your<br />
Neighbours” will feature displays from the more than 40 different squadrons and units that make up 8 Wing<br />
Trenton. The exhibits will feature current roles and historic perspectives. Our <strong>of</strong>ficers will once again<br />
work hand in hand with base personnel to ensure a successful two day event within our <strong>City</strong>.<br />
“ Two Armed Robberies solved after lengthy investigation”<br />
I am pleased to announce changes with the Community Policing Officer and School Resource Office positions.<br />
Constable Dave Snider will move to the School Resource Officer and Constable Lonne Foeller will<br />
take over the position <strong>of</strong> Community Policing Officer.

Hi Ken; Just a note <strong>of</strong> thanks to Tony for<br />

even stayed on for an extra 2 hours to advise our and mentor<br />
our members who have interest in policing. Please add my note<br />
to his file. Thank You. Mike Mason<br />

On behalf <strong>of</strong> the school, I would like to extend my<br />
thanks and appreciation for the support that Constable Michelle Barry provided us in dealing<br />
with issues on Tuesday, March 2 nd . She arrived to the school very shortly after our call for assistance<br />
and acted in a decisive and efficient manner as she received the information. As<br />
well, I understand there has already been significant time given to the follow up with these<br />
issues which is appreciated.<br />

About The Canine Unit<br />
The O.P.P. Canine Unit was formed in<br />
1965. Three teams were trained to provide a<br />
support service for the O.P.P. and other law<br />
enforcement agencies.<br />
Today, 27 teams: each consisting <strong>of</strong> a dog and a<br />
handler, are stationed at strategic points across<br />
the province and provide canine support for<br />
search and rescue operations, tracking wanted<br />
persons, detecting narcotics, explosives, cadaver<br />
and physical evidence.<br />
The teams are also involved in community service<br />
work, fund raising events and public demonstrations.<br />
Canine teams undergo 16 weeks <strong>of</strong> intensive training at the O.P.P. Academy Canine Training Centre. This training includes promoting<br />
obedience, exposing the dogs to obstacles such as stairways, heights, ladders, tunnels and water. The emphasis is on<br />
tracking. Training the dogs to follow specific human scent over various terrain in all weather conditions requires determination,<br />
concentration and patience. The dogs are taught to protect the handler on command even in the face <strong>of</strong> gunfire.<br />
Within one year <strong>of</strong> completing the training, teams return to be trained to detect narcotics.<br />
Specialty dogs, usually Labrador retrievers, are trained for specific duties. There are currently 6 teams trained to detect explosives,<br />
6 additional teams are trained to detect human remains that are buried or under water, and 2 teams are trained to locate<br />
people buried as a result <strong>of</strong> a disaster.<br />
Careful consideration is given to the selection <strong>of</strong> both dog and handler. German shepherds, aged 18 to 24 months, are chosen for<br />
general service duties. This breed is renowned for its' keen sense <strong>of</strong> hearing and smell, its' even temperament, stability, alertness<br />
and for its dependability in various weather conditions.<br />
Handlers must be in top physical condition in order to keep pace with their dogs.<br />
Each dog lives at the handler's home and stays in an outside kennel provided by the O.P.P. This develops a proper heavy undercoat<br />
that will protect the dog during cold weather assignments. Teams use a specially designed vehicle to provide proper security<br />
for the dog and storage for equipment the handler requires. The teams are on call 24 hours a day for assignment anywhere in Ontario.

Emergency Response Team<br />
The Emergency Response Team (ERT) received <strong>of</strong>ficial recognition in 1992, when the Ontario Provincial Police made a decision to<br />
incorporate a number <strong>of</strong> specialized emergency response units into one team.<br />
The Ontario Provincial Police's ERT is comprised <strong>of</strong> 262 men and women whose full-time responsibilities are conducting front-line<br />
policing duties at detachments located throughout the Province.<br />
Any other situation that the Regional Commander deems requires their expertise<br />
To become an ERT member, OPP <strong>of</strong>ficers must be able to demonstrate integrity, sound judgement under stress, leadership and effective<br />
communication skills as well as the ability to problem solve and take initiative. ERT members must maintain a high level <strong>of</strong><br />
physical fitness and are required to maintain a state <strong>of</strong> readiness to be called out with little notice and are <strong>of</strong>ten required to work away<br />
from their homes for extended periods <strong>of</strong> time. The working environment during an incident may be unpredictable and subject to<br />
rapidly changing factors.<br />
It is important for the success <strong>of</strong> the ERT program that the appropriate candidates are selected for this challenging role.<br />
Identified ERT candidates must successfully complete the 9-week ERT basic training course. This course is physically and mentally<br />
demanding and will give the candidate the knowledge and skills to be able to be an effective member <strong>of</strong> ERT.<br />
The OPP search and rescue program is recognized as having one <strong>of</strong> the premier search and rescue units in North America. The latest<br />
scientific data and equipment are utilized in the search <strong>of</strong> lost persons.<br />
The Emergency Response teams are a valuable resource to the OPP and the community. They provide a rapid, pr<strong>of</strong>essional response<br />
to local emergencies whether searching for a lost child or responding to a natural disaster or a high-risk incident.<br />

“Operation Freeze": Promoting positive<br />
encounters with youth<br />
ORILLIA, ON, June 30 /CNW/ - Kids will have another reason to look forward to their next encounter with an Ontario<br />
Provincial Police (OPP) <strong>of</strong>ficer, thanks to a recent youth initiative developed in partnership with Mac's Convenience<br />
Stores. This initiative recognizes positive behaviour by our communities' youth in a very cool way...with a very cool<br />
treat.<br />
In partnership with Mac's Convenience Stores across Ontario, OPP <strong>of</strong>ficers who observe local youth doing random<br />
acts <strong>of</strong> kindness or exhibiting positive behaviour will be able to recognize that person with a "ticket" which is actually a<br />
coupon valid for a free 710 ml Froster beverage valid at all participating Mac's stores in Ontario throughout the summer<br />
<strong>of</strong> 2010.<br />
In addition to recognizing good behaviour, "Operation Freeze" <strong>of</strong>fers opportunities for OPP <strong>of</strong>ficers to interact with<br />
youth in a positive manner while supporting the OPP Positive Ticketing Program. Officers may use the coupons to recognize<br />
youth for wearing bicycle helmets, doing good deeds, participating in community activities, picking up trash,<br />
pro-actively deterring crime or observing safe-street crossing rules. Officers can also make use <strong>of</strong> the coupons as<br />
"icebreakers" to establish a dialogue with kids in their patrol area.<br />
Though the reasons for issuing the coupons may vary, the end result <strong>of</strong> this youth positive ticketing initiative is the<br />
same for every youngster: a positive police - community interaction experience and a free Froster beverage!<br />
"Mac's strives to be a leader in crime prevention," said Sean Sportun, Manager <strong>of</strong> Loss Prevention & Security for Mac's<br />
in Central Canada. "We are very excited about Operation Freeze and the positive message it delivers."<br />
"The OPP is pleased to participate in an initiative that recognizes youth for responsible and caring behaviour," said<br />
Inspector Mark Allen, Manager <strong>of</strong> the OPP Crime Prevention Section. "Partnering with local business and engaging our<br />
youth in a positive manner builds partnerships that make our communities strong<br />
