The <strong>2011</strong> AnnualReport clearly sets out our goals and objectives for the year, as contained in the current Business Plan,as well as performance indicators and progress report.As Chief <strong>of</strong> <strong>Police</strong>, one <strong>of</strong> my goals has been to enhance our community outreach and partnerships.Throughout <strong>2011</strong>, we have reached out and interacted with diverse members <strong>of</strong> our community. As anexample, on April 15 th we announced the introduction <strong>of</strong> our Multi-Faith Chaplaincy Program, at whichtime Rabbi Ammos Chorny and Imam Dr. Munir El Kassem joined our two long-serving <strong>Police</strong> Chaplains,Reverend David Carrothers and Father Jim Mockler, in service to our members and the community-atlargein times <strong>of</strong> need.On Sunday, September 18 th , the <strong>London</strong> <strong>Police</strong> <strong>Service</strong> celebrated a significant milestone.

It is my hope that our expanded facility provides a comfortable and efficient work space that will meet theneeds <strong>of</strong> our staff for years to come.Throughout the fall <strong>of</strong> <strong>2011</strong>, preparatory work began on our three-year Business Plan covering 2013 to 2015. Development <strong>of</strong> theBusiness Plan is a lengthy process that involves a public needs survey, an internal needs survey, and a series <strong>of</strong> community consultationswith citizens, community groups, business associations, boards <strong>of</strong> education, etc. The 2013-2015 Business Plan, together with ourextensive Workload Analysis completed in <strong>2011</strong>, will guide our <strong>Service</strong> over the next several years to identify and address our priorities interms <strong>of</strong> human resource and community needs.<strong>London</strong> is well served through the tremendous dedication to duty and strong work ethic that is at the core <strong>of</strong> each and every one <strong>of</strong> oursworn and civilian members.

The efforts, originally spearheadedby the CACP Informatics Committee, have brought the Communications Interoperability Strategy forCanada to fruition and have drawn many public safety organizations to the table, including police, fire andEMS (Emergency Medical <strong>Service</strong>s) national associations.ii) During 2010, the LPS successfully completed the transition with the Fire <strong>Service</strong>s to oneVoice Radiosystem, which is a local <strong>London</strong> system. The LPS has continued to enhance the oneVoice system. Dueto a major shift in directions in public safety communications in North America, the P25 standard is nowbeing demanded by governments. The P25 upgrade contract was signed with Harris Communications in<strong>2011</strong> and implementation is underway. It is anticipated that all city agencies will be transitioned to theP25 system during 2012. Once completed, the P25 system will provide many enhancements to bothpublic safety and city works users. Policy or by-laws surrounding the new radio tower to restrict otherusage (e.g., private companies) have not been developed yet.iii) The LPS Explosive Disposal Unit, in cooperation with Defence Research and Development Canada andthe Canadian <strong>Police</strong> Research Centre, conducted a Hazardous Environment Operations-Home MadeExplosives Course in <strong>London</strong>. This two-week course, held in <strong>2011</strong>, had participants from both thenational and international explosive disposal community attend. Instructors were from Canadian privateand government agencies, as well as the ATF (Bureau <strong>of</strong> Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives) fromthe United States.Also during <strong>2011</strong>, a large-scale multi-agency “Community Emergency Management Program Committee”scenario was conducted (in part) at the Emergency Operations Centre in <strong>London</strong>.iv) During <strong>2011</strong>, equipment was shared between agencies during several incidents.• The LPS Explosive Disposal Unit (LPS-EDU) received a JEPP grant for 4 SCBAs (Self- ContainedBreathing Apparatus). This grant was secured because <strong>of</strong> the interoperability <strong>of</strong> these SCBA’s withthose used by the <strong>London</strong> Fire <strong>Service</strong>s (LFD). The LFD fills the LPS SCBA tanks, which can beinterchanged with the LFD tanks during CBRNE (Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear andExplosive) calls for service since both agencies are now using the same brand <strong>of</strong> tanks.• RCMP truck and full CBRNE response equipment was loaned to the LPS for 11 months. This wasrequired due to fire damage to LPS-EDU building and equipment. This arrangement illustrates thecooperative relationships that have been developed with our police partners.“Facta Non Verba” -15- “Deeds Not Words”

Funding forthe implementation <strong>of</strong> a recycling program was submitted as part <strong>of</strong> the 2012 LPS budget.However, through the budget reduction process this item was eliminated. A budget request fora recycling program will be submitted again during the 2013 budget process.ii) The LPS continues to expand existing green fleet initiatives. Throughout <strong>2011</strong>, unmarkedvehicles due for replacement were reviewed for required size and power. Where feasible andpractical, vehicles traditionally equipped with 6 cylinder engines were replaced with mid-size 4-cylinder vehicles. A total <strong>of</strong> 8 unmarked vehicles were replaced with the 4-cylinder vehicles.Through stock-piling <strong>of</strong> Ford Crown Victorias, the LPS fleet will continue to have the ability <strong>of</strong>supplying the only (known) propane-powered police patrol fleet in North America. The cleanerburning propane fuel provides a significant reduction in harmful green house emissions. Asvehicles are replaced, the LPS continues to maintain a baseline <strong>of</strong> 22 propane vehicles.The facility expansion and renovations resulted in an enhanced infrastructure.For example, the new state <strong>of</strong> the art firing range can accommodate ten<strong>of</strong>ficers on the firing line at one time. The lighting in the range has beendesigned to replicate a wide variety <strong>of</strong> low light situations. The lightingcombined with the sound system adds a touch <strong>of</strong> realism to training.“Facta Non Verba” -23- “Deeds Not Words”
