d u r h a m r e g i o n a l p o l i c e s e r v i c eMessage from the Chair of thePolice Services BoardThe Durham Regional Police Services Board continued to influence and lead the policeservice in 2006 by focusing our attention to "value for service."Instead of just reviewing "volume of work" indicators, we challenged the police serviceleadership by setting realistic goals and identifying long-term objectives. We continueto find that the Durham Regional Police Service is ranked among the top services inOntario in many crime fighting and crime prevention categories. We will continue toensure the right resources are in place to keep up this enviable record.Many significant events took place in 2006, not the least of which was the departureof long-standing Board Chair Doug Moffatt. Doug led the Board with compassion anddedication for many years. Other significant events included the advancement of ourfirst female Superintendent, Sherry Whiteway, the retirement of our Deputy Chief RodPiukkala and the appointment of a new Deputy Chief, who would soon be promoted tothe Chief's position - Mike Ewles.Vern White led our police service with distinction in 2006 and we were sorry to see himdepart for personal reasons. However, the strength and depth of our membership wasclearly evident as the Board had numerous outstanding internal candidates to choose from.We are very proud that the DRPS was named one of Canada's Top 100 Employers in thefall of 2006 and we will continue to keep our police service among the very best inCanada for years to come.Terry ClaytonChair of the Police Services BoardTerry ClaytonChair of the Police Services BoardP olice Services BoardAs required under the Police Services Act, The Durham Regional Police Services Board is the civilian body whichgoverns the Durham Regional Police Service. The Board consists of: Head of Council (or his or her designate), twoMembers of Council (appointed by resolution), one person appointed by Council (neither a Member of the Council oran employee of the municipality), and three persons appointed by the Lieutenant Governor in Council.4l e a d e r s i n c o m m u n i t y s a f e t y

M e s s a g e F r o m T h e C h i e fMessage from theChief of Police2006 was another very busy year for the Durham Regional Police Service, as we continuedto respond to the needs of citizens while looking internally to find efficiencies.Vern White served as our Chief throughout 2006 before departing for the OttawaPolice Service and he championed many community initiatives, not the least ofwhich was the area of alternative justice measures for troubled young people. Histime with the DRPS was significant and we continue to follow through on many initiativeshe began.Based on the proven track record in many native communities, Restorative Justice isa more immediate way for victims of crime and those accused of committing thecrime to access justice. We explored such alternative justice measures throughout2006 and launched the first large-scale project of its kind in Ontario in late 2006. Wecontinue to use these non-court tools to reach young people and get them back onthe right life path.When we look back at 2006, perhaps the most significant achievement was the continueddevelopment of our first DRPS Strategic Plan, which will help us to better achieve theobjectives of the Business Plan. Part of this work led to the fine tuning of our Vision,Mission and Value Statements and the introduction of a new philosophy: we mustbecome a more proactive police service addressing the root cause of crime instead ofreacting to ever-increasing demands.On a sad note, 2006 also marked the passing of our former Chief, David Edwards, wholed this service with distinction from 1988 to 1993. He will be sorely missed by everyonewho had the pleasure of knowing him and working with him.Mike EwlesChief of PoliceMike EwlesChief of Police2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 5

d u r h a m r e g i o n a l p o l i c e s e r v i c eOperational PrioritiesOrganized street gangs, safety on our roads and youth crime remainedtop priorities for the Durham Regional Police Service in 2006. A widerange of targeted enforcement campaigns and crime prevention initiativeshelped keep Durham Region a safe place to live work and play.Gang ActivityDurham Region is home to at least 10 street gangs and approximately21 Toronto-based street gangs have at least one member living inDurham Region. From small neighbourhood gangs to internationallyconnected criminal organizations like the Hell's Angels, gang activityremains a concern for police across the Greater Toronto Area.In 2006, the Gang Enforcement Unit and the Drug Enforcement Unitaggressively targeted this form of organized crime. Through a widerange of intelligence-led proactive enforcement initiatives, these twospecialized units arrested more than 250 individuals in 2006 and laid862 criminal charges. A total of 37 crime guns were recovered -including 19 handguns - and more than $4.2 million worth of illicitdrugs were seized. Members of the Criminal Intelligence Branch madea significant contribution to Project OSAGE, an Integrated NationalSecurity Enforcement Team (INSET) investigation that culminated inthe arrests of 18 people for terrorism-related offences.An investigation by Durham Regional Police into the Oshawa chapter ofthe Hell's Angels led to the formation of Project TANDEM by the provincialBiker Enforcement Unit (BEU) across southern Ontario, resulting in 32arrests and the seizure of $3.8 million in drugs, property and cash. Fivemembers of the Oshawa Hells Angels chapter were arrested in the sweep.The DRPS remains active members of several provincial and nationalgangs and guns joint investigative teams to share intelligence information.These include the Integrated National Security EnforcementTeam; the Provincial Anti-Terrorism Unit; the Combined Forces SpecialEnforcement Unit; the Criminal Intelligence Service of Ontario (CISO);the Provincial Asset Forfeiture Unit; the Repeat Offender ParoleEnforcement (ROPE) squad; the Provincial Weapons Enforcement Unit(PWEU); and the Provincial Biker Enforcement Unit (BEU).In 2006, we were commended by the Criminal Intelligence ServiceOntario (CISO) for the quality and number of our reports submittedto the Automated Criminal Intelligence Information System (ACIIS).Drugs/Cash Seized by GEU & DEU in 2006Ecstasy$23,460Methamphetamine$1,671,610MDMA PowderEphedrine $16,012$125,600Other$1,600Cash$78,357OxycodoneCocaine$3,540 $360,000Cannabis Resin$29,600Marijuana$2,015,972In November 2006, an explosion and fire destroyed anindustrial unit on Clements Road in Pickering. The remainsof a clandestine methamphetamine “super lab” were discoveredwith dozens of drums of precursor material and137 kg of finished product. The finished product alone hada street value of $1.37 million. The toxic mess resulted inthe permanent closure of several adjoining businesses asspecially-equipped hazardous material teams had to go inand clean up the mess.8l e a d e r s i n c o m m u n i t y s a f e t y

O p e r a t i o n a l P r i o r i t i e sTraffic ManagementWe continued our aggressive yearlong road safety campaign“Drive to Stay Alive in 2006” and continued monthly R.I.D.E. programsto keep our roads safe.These efforts paid off - there were two fewer motor vehicledeaths on our roads in 2006 compared to 2005. However, 27 peoplestill lost their lives on roads patrolled by DRPS in 2006 - alevel that is still not acceptable.Changing driver behaviour through enforcement campaigns wasa key focus in 2006. Specific enforcement campaigns targettedcottage-bound speeders, motorists in school zones, tailgatersand those who ignored traffic signals. Officers laid over 1,600charges against motorists in school zones during one week inMarch as part of Operation "In the Zone."In one enforcement campaign, officers targeting suspended andprohibited drivers laid 45 charges in two weeks. Officers arrestedmany of these offenders getting into vehicles outside of courtbuildings where they had just received licence suspensions.The Festive R.I.D.E. campaign in late 2006 was very successful asofficers stopped over 23,600 vehicles, performed 489 roadsidebreath tests and arrested 101 people for drinking and driving.Another 167 motorists received 12-hour suspensions for havinga high level of alcohol in their system. Yearlong Reduce ImpairedDriving Everywhere (R.I.D.E.) campaigns and targeted enforcementinitiatives remain an effective way of changing driver's attitudesand alerting driving behaviour.As per the chart below, Durham Region roads are becomingbusier and more congested every year. A reduction in motor vehicledeaths in this context is a very positive outcome.3530252015One of our officers conducts a road side checkMVC PersonsKilled*302004292005272006*Excluding medical episodesOur Roads:Population* vs # of registered vehicles in Durham Region*800,000600,000543,240Durham Region Population*579,705 591,960555,150568,410400,000339,117355,006365,700376,578388,220# of registered vehicles in Durham Region**200,0002002 2003 2004 2005 2006* Revised from previous counts ** Source: MTO2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 9

d u r h a m r e g i o n a l p o l i c e s e r v i c eOperational PrioritiesYouthStatistically speaking, Durham Region is one of the “younger”areas of Ontario according to the 2006 Statistics Canada Census.There are 158,600 young people under the age of 20 in DurhamRegion, which represents 28.3 per cent of the regional population.The Ontario average is 25.0 per cent of the population.Although reported youth crime has been decreasing across Ontario,troubled youth continue to be a community safety concern inDurham Region. In 2006, the Durham Regional Police Service continuedto implement its Youth Strategy, which calls on a multi-agencyapproach to dealing with troubled youth at an early stage. Thisproactive approach is designed for young people before theydevelop further bad habits.In November 2006, the Durham Regional Police held the community'sfirst ever Youth Summit to deal with young people in conflictwith the law. Over 230 delegates from 40 different local agenciesattended and discussed new ways of sharing information abouttroubled youngsters so the right kinds of services could bedirected to the families involved.Under the leadership of Chief Vern White, Durham RegionalPolice accellerated new partnerships with the Eastview Boys andGirls Club, the John Howard Society and the Pinewood treatmentfacility to facilitate extra-judicial options for young people. Workwas also done to introduce Restorative Justice conferencing toDurham Region, where young people accused of crimes can takeresponsibility for their actions by speaking directly with victimsand others affected by the crime in a controlled and supervisedenvironment. A youth Co-ordinator was hired and the programbegan in November 2006. There were 57 youth diversion contractssigned by late 2006.In 2006, the Crime Administration Branch was re-organized tosupport the transition to restorative justice programs andimprove service for vulnerable people such as youths, seniors andthose with mental health issues.Also, in the summer of 2006, DRPS was one of only two policeservices in Ontario to receive funding from the Ministry of Youthand Children Services to hire summer students from at-riskneighbourhoods. This program saw five students spend the summerwith our service, learning about the business and hopefullyinspiring them to choose policing as a future career option.Youth Minister Mary Anne Chambers meets summer students.The first Youth Summit, sponsored by the DRPS, took place in 2006.Summer students help clean playground equipment.10l e a d e r s i n c o m m u n i t y s a f e t y

2 0 0 6 - A Y e a r i n R e v i e wAlthough the actual number of person and property crimes is gradually decreasing across Canada and certainly here in Durham Region,the demands for police service and the time needed to clear each call continue to increase. Certain violent crime categories are alsoclimbing higher in Durham Region, again reflecting the provincial and national trend.Calls for ServiceOur new Versadex Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Record Management System (RMS) continued to provide a new level of statisticaldetail and accuracy. In 2006, there were 122,485 citizen-generated Calls for Service (CFS).19 Division (Ajax/Pickering)31.9%2006 Population By Division15 Division (North Durham)9.4%16 Division (Clarington)13.8%19 Division (Ajax/Pickering)27.1%Total Calls for Service 2006 By Division*15 Division (North Durham)7.5%16 Division (Clarington)10.3%18 Division (Whitby)19.8%17 Division (Oshawa)25.1%GrowthOne major factor affecting police is population growth. DurhamRegion continued to grow at a brisk pace in 2006, recording $1.5billion in total building permit activity. That's the third highestlevel in Durham Region's history, largely driven by $1 billion worthof residential building permits. There were 5,244 new residentialunits approved for construction in 2006 alone. The 2006 Census alsorevealed that Durham Region's population is younger than theprovincial average, with 79.5 per cent of our population 15-yearsoldor older, compared with 81.8 per cent provincially.Organizational ChangeThe organizational chart was refined in 2006 and both DeputyChief positions were placed in Operations, emphasizing the importanceof operational response. With the retirement of Deputy ChiefRod Piukkala, Inspector Mike Ewles was promoted to the vacancy.A new Superintendent position was created to lead our strategicplanning process.A total of 32 promotions took place, including 1 Deputy Chief, 1Superintendent, 6 Inspectors, 7 Staff Sergeants and 17 Sergeants.New leadership was assigned to the North Durham, Clarington andOshawa divisions. New leadership was assigned to the CrimeAdministration Branch and several new programs were launched,including the Domestic Violence Bail Unit, the Vulnerable PersonsUnit, the General Occurrence Audit Unit to improve police reportquality and a Centralized Alternative Response Unit.18 Division (Whitby)16.3%17 Division (Oshawa)35.3%* 3.7% of CFS cannot be attributed to a specific Division, as they are usually originating outof-region.The largest division - Oshawa - had 35.3 per cent of all CFS in 2006 even thoughthat city's population accounted for only 25.1 per cent of the regional population.Enhancing Frontline ResponseIn 2006 a cross-functional team was established to do a carefulanalysis of how we deploy police officers. The Patrol StaffingAnalysis Project (PSAP) began looking at calls for service data,frontline deployment and other issues affecting police response.In order to take less serious calls away from patrol units in thefield, a Centralized Alternative Response Unit (CARU) was createdin 2006. The unit takes away non-emergency calls frompatrol cars, such as reports of theft, historic break and enters,lost property or minor property damage. Launched in the fall,CARU was consistently diverting about one-third of non-emergencycalls from patrol units by the end of the year.2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 11

McLaughlin Armoury inOshawa with Ontario RegimentCommanding Officer LCol. Dave Parry.Durham Regional Police was amongthe first in Canada to show such apublic display of support for our bravemen and women overseas.The idea came to Inspector Charlie Green and SuperintendentBob Chapman after DRPS officers spontaneously attendedHighway 401 overpasses and ramps in Durham Region to paytribute to fallen soldiers who were being transported from CFBTrenton to CFS Toronto. Inspired by that gesture and supportedby the Chief, the Senior Officers' Association and the DurhamRegional Police Association, Inspector Green andSuperintendent Chapman came up with the plan to purchase“Support Our Troops” decals to be placed on every markedpolice cruiser and motorcycle.There are 3,021 Canadian Forces personnel stationed aroundthe world, including Afghanistan, the Iranian Gulf, Iraq, Bosnia,Sudan, Congo, Cyprus, Sierra Leone and Haiti.Durham Regional Police Service has a long and proud historyof supporting peacekeeping missions around the world.

S e t t i n g t h eS t r a t e g i cD i r e c t i o nIn 2006, Durham Regional Police continuedwork on a number of major projects thatwill shape the future of policing inDurham Region for years to come.Building on the strength of the 2005-2007 Business Plan with its 22 objectivesand 49 action plans, the DRPS embarkedon the creation of its first ever StrategicPlan, under the guidance ofSuperintendent Greg Mills and theStrategic Planning Unit. This plan will tiein the Business Plan with operationalplans and build on the new, proactivephilosophy of the police service.An integral part of the new approach isdetermining exactly where frontlinepolice resources should be positioned.With the assistance of U.S.-based consultantPeter Bellmio, the Servicelaunched the Patrol Staffing AnalysisProject (PSAP) to ensure its resources areproperly aligned to workload.

d u r h a m r e g i o n a l p o l i c e s e r v i c ePublic ComplaintsThe rate of public complaints received in 2006 remained athistorically low levels considering the nature of the businessand the volume of calls every year.In 2006, there were 100 public complaints received - the samelevel as 2005. That works out to 16.6 complaints per 100,000citizens, down from the 2005 rate of 17.1/100,000, or only onecomplaint for every 1,227 calls for service.Every public complaint is taken seriously and is investigated eitherby the supervisor on duty or the Professional Standards Unit.The majority of complaints are quickly resolved after an initialdiscussion with supervisors. Many complaints are found to beunsubstantiated or unfounded after initial investigation. Insome instances, further follow up is required. If the complaintis found to have merit, the consequences for the officer canrange from a verbal reprimand to outright dismissal.In most police services, the most frequent public complaintsinvolve allegations of improper language, rudeness or poor attitudeamongst police officers. Of the 100 complaints received in2006, 14 involved allegations of Excessive Use of Force, 69involved allegations of Discreditable Conduct and 27 involvedallegations of Neglect of Duty. In total, 33 were found to beunsubstantiated, vexatious or made in bad faith and 43 werewithdrawn by the initial complainant.The SpecialInvestigations UnitEvery year, some police officers inevitably find themselves inlife-threatening or dangerous situations while on duty. FromEmotionally Disturbed Person calls to domestic violence incidents,officers are specially trained in how to deal with these situationswith the right amount of force.In Ontario, when a person is seriously injured or killed during anypolice activity, the Special Investigations Unit must be notified.In 2006, the SIU were called to Durham Region eight times andafter thorough investigations, every incident was cleared andthe officer was deemed to have acted appropriately.P o l i c e P u r s u i t sOne of the most dangerous parts of policing is vehicle pursuits.Durham Regional Police officers are governed by a strict policyof when such pursuits are warranted due to the increased riskto public safety.In 2006 there were only 59 police pursuits in Durham Region andalmost all of these (56) lasted less than five kilometres. In 22 ofthese incidents, the pursuits were called off by police officers orcommunication supervisors for safety reasons. There were ninereported injuries - three to police officers and six to suspects.125Public Complaints History*100755025011920021032003112200410020051002006* Source: Professional Standards Unit, DRPS16l e a d e r s i n c o m m u n i t y s a f e t y

N u c l e a r S e c u r i t y D i v i s i o nSeptember 11th, 2001 changed North America forever. The surpriseterrorism attack caught the United States and the rest of theworld off guard.The ripple was felt across the world and Canada, America's largesttrading partner and neighbour, certainly took notice. Federalregulators required increased security measures at potentialtargets and Durham Regional Police were called upon by OntarioPower Generation (OPG) to provide 24/7 security services at thenuclear power plants in Pickering and Darlington. Under the leadershipof 31-year veteran Inspector Dietmar Schoenrock, DurhamRegional Police's team of specially-trained security officers hasemerged as a prototypical model. This model is the only one of itskind in Canada where the outside and inside responding policeservice to a nuclear facility is the same. Other jurisdictions havetraveled to Durham Region to learn how this innovative partnershipwas forged and how a specialized police service has blendedin so well with the OPG culture.A big part of the success of our Nuclear Security Division istraining. Officers are continually trained and put in realistic,dynamic exercises to test their abilities and enhance theirteamwork and reaction time. No one is expecting a problem ateither nuclear power plant, but the citizens of Durham Regioncan rest assured that both plants are being watched by trainedprofessionals who live in this community and are prepared forany occurrence.In 2006, Ontario Power Generation opened new security buildingsat the Darlington and Pickering facilities, part of the $300 millionit has spent on security upgrades in the past five years. FormerDRPS Chief Vern White praised the new facilities at the grandopening event in November 2006 for their robust securityscreening equipment, including geometric hand monitors, X-raymachines, metal detectors and explosive detection devices.New security building opened in 2006New security building at PickeringTraining in a controlled setting2 0 0 6 A n n u a l R e p o r t 25
