MESSAGE FROM<br />
THE CHAIR<br />
It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to congratulate Peel Regional Police on a successful year<br />
of policing. We have one of the finest police services in Canada with a Chief recognized as a leader in the policing<br />
community.<br />
<strong>2015</strong> was marked by many successes, including achieving performance targets as established in the 2014-2016<br />
Strategic Plan. A cornerstone of our success can be attributed to the many community partnerships that have<br />
been formed. The <strong>2015</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> showcases the overall commitment to excellence in the vision of “A Safer<br />
Community Together”.<br />
My goals for 2016 are to build on what we have achieved so far through two over-arching themes:<br />
• Service to all the people in the Region of Peel<br />
• Service to the members of Peel Regional Police<br />
These goals will be accomplished by listening, collaborating and building strong, constructive relationships.<br />
The Board will be forward-looking. We will put increased energy on Strategic thinking and conversations on<br />
emerging issues. At the same time, the Board will also do its share to provide the technology, training and<br />
expertise to our staff to be the best that they can be today.<br />
Human wellness of our employees is an area that will be getting my personal attention. I believe that we can and<br />
should do more in our understanding and prevention of mental health issues like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in<br />
our employees. I am committed to ensuring that we bring to bear state of the art knowledge on the medicine and<br />
psychology of PTSD to provide the best possible service to our officers and civilians.<br />
Finally, the Board’s objective is captured so succinctly in Sir Robert Peel’s 5th Principle of Law Enforcement. The<br />
police will serve “...all members of society without regard to their race or social standing, by ready exercise of<br />
courtesy ...” These words of the great man resonate as strongly today as they did when he stated them in 1829.<br />
