BUSINESS ARISING FROM MINUTES<br />
a) Parry Sound High School Liaison: There are plans to have an officer from each<br />
platoon appointed to participate as a high school liaison officer. The officer would<br />
act as a “contact person” for non-urgent calls from the school. Members of the<br />
crime unit and street crime unit would also be involved in this program. If there is<br />
an actual problem at the school, 911 would still be used.<br />
b) OPP Self Reporting Program: It is recognized that the OPP Self-Reporting<br />
Program is not being used effectively. There are plans to address the issues and<br />
re-introduce the program.<br />
REPORTS<br />
a) Accountability Report (01 July 2017 to 30 September 2017): S/Sgt M. Gordon<br />
presented the Accountability Report. Orphaned events are occurrences assigned<br />
to the detachment, but not specifically to a municipality, i.e: a collision with no<br />
location attached to it.<br />
Foot Patrol Challenge: Platoons took part in an internal foot patrol challenge as<br />
part of an ongoing wellness program. Members attended many community events<br />
over the quarter in an effort to log foot patrol hours. The platoon with the most<br />
hours is to receive a complementary barbecue. The member with the most hours<br />
received a Fitbit. Overall, foot patrol hours increased by 50% over 2016.<br />
b) Municipal Chart (01 July 2017 to 30 September 2017): S/Sgt M. Gordon<br />
presented the report.<br />

reported on the first quarter municipal statistics.<br />
Municipality of Whitestone: There were 78 calls for service over the quarter.<br />
One RIDE event was held resulting in one impaired charge being laid. 911 calls<br />
have seen an overall increase across the region, which can occur over the summer<br />
months.<br />
