"Community Policing"

Public Safety: |
|
A community's civility begins with public safety.
|
Special Public Needs: |
|
As the demographics of our community change, so do the needs.
|
Public Tranquility: |
|
One of our community's assets must be peace and quiet.
|
Positive Public Image: |
|
We have an obligation to provide a positive role model which reflects the best core values of our society.
|
Leadership in Public Affairs: |
|
The public will listen and respect officers who are experts in police matters and leaders in our community.
|
Leadership in Community
and Police Matters: |
|
Leadership in regional, provincial, federal police organizations and associations will demonstrate to other communities that Brockville can make meaningful contributions to the overall direction of policing policy. |
Law Enforcement Responsibilities
Law Enforcement: |
|
Our primary policing function is to enforce municipal, provincial and federal laws.
|
Motor Vehicle Safety: |
|
The safe operation of motor vehicles as part of a positive and safe community image through R.I.D.E. and selective traffic enforcement strategies.
|
Crime Investigation: |
|
A high clearance rate is an indicator that our police service has an effective Crime Investigation unit.
|
Technologically Current: |
|
To provide the services which our community needs, in accordance with our available funding, including E911, CRISYS, videotaping of statements, encrypted radio communications, Internet web site. |
Quality Management
Human resources: |
|
The police service is a people service both internally and externally enhanced with progressive career development, promotional and hiring policies.
|
Financial resource accountability: |
|
Financial resources are a limited commodity and are used prudently and effectively, monitored through ongoing analysis and monthly reports.
|
Quality delivery of service: |
|
Continuous improvement in the way in which service is delivered will provide cost effective service through training, adherence to standards and progressive policies.
|
Standards development and audit: |
|
Standards of service provide clearly defined direction for all persons who provide police services. Regular auditing of the standards will provide the means for improvement to these standards.
|
Quality management: |
|
To provide more effective two-way management communications, the administration will provide tools as a greater resource to front-line officers as generalists. This will provide continuous improvement in quality management, public safety and innovative policing.
|
Employment excellence: |
|
A community police service which mirrors the cultural makeup of the community will gain the respect of its citizens.
|
Internal and external communications: |
|
Effective communication will always occur when honest information is transmitted within the police service and between the police service and the public.
|
Policy development: |
|
The Board develops policies providing the guiding principles whereby the Chief of Police can develop specific goals, objectives and timetables for implementation. |
