2014—2016 Business Plan

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN

It is my pleasure, on behalf of my colleagues on the Owen Sound Police Services Board, to present the Business Plan for 2014-2016. This Plan was developed as a result of collaborative effort and extensive consultation with members of the community, members of the service, key stakeholders and the board to ensure that the future direction of The Owen Sound Police Service is reflective of the needs of the City of Owen Sound. The clearly identified goals and objectives provide strategic

direction for the service and will be continually monitored and evaluated to ensure our efforts for a safe and secure community. Garth A.H. Pierce Chairman, Owen Sound Police Services Board

2014—2016 Business Plan

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE

The foundation for the future and wellbeing of any organization is strategic planning, and the Owen Sound Police Service is no different. The provincial government mandates that police services produce a business plan every three years to chart the direction of the organization. For the OSPS, our business plan serves as the cornerstone of how we will deliver police services over the life of the plan and also as the roadmap for accomplishing our goals. Belief in community policing ensures that the Board consults with the public, various partners and stakeholders and our staff to develop the methods in which we deliver services. The critical aspects of community oriented policing are problem solving and responsive and measured service delivery by both the front line officer and the entire organization. It is formed at the neighbourhood level and developed through community partnerships. This plan is a measurable document that is reviewed and reported on to ensure progress is being made in the identified areas. Each goal is measured and is the responsibility of the identified group or individual member of the Service. It includes a timeline and details the strategies utilized to accomplish the objectives. As each goal is achieved, it will become the expected level of service delivery. The development of this strategic plan was difficult work. Many of the goals and objectives address issues that are complex and have existed in our community for years. Some are issues that are new and have only developed as a result of technological advancements. I want to thank our staff, partners and stakeholders for their contributions and opinions on important issues. The word sustainability has become a mainstay in policing. While it was not the first word discussed in all of our consultations, it was not that far down the list. The Board and I heard this message and together we have produced a document that ties community safety and sustainability. I hope you will take the time to read the plan and more importantly to ask questions about our progress. Bill Sornberger Chief of Police

2014—2016 Business Plan

THE PLANNING PROCESS

Section 4., of the Police Services Act of Ontario, obligates municipalities in the Province to maintain adequate and effective police services which shall include, at a minimum, crime prevention, law en-forcement, assistance to victims of crime, public order maintenance and emergency response. Ontario Regulation 3/99 outlines the specific criteria that define minimum standards for adequacy and effective-ness. Section 30 of this Regulation requires every Police Services Board to prepare a business plan for its police service at least every three years. This plan builds upon previous Owen Sound Police Service business plans, particularly the last one that provided direction and accountability for the organization and its members from 2008 to 2010. The board members, police service representatives, and those from the public who commented on the business plan and the planning process, universally expressed their preference for the continuation of the format used in the last business plan. The only significant departure for the 2011 to 2013 plan re-sults from the main subject headings being reorganized and expanded into the same numerical se-quence as is contained in Section 30 of the regulation. To assist in the planning process, the Board engaged consultants to follow up on their earlier Financial Review and, moderate the consultation sessions, ensure that the plan meets all of the requirements and expectations of the legislation, and properly reflects the priorities of the organization and the public it serves. It was also guided by the Community Satisfaction Survey that was completed by Georgian Community College. During the planning process, two of the four uniformed senior management posi-tions were vacant due to the retirement of the Chief of Police, and the absence of an Inspector for ma-jor surgery. Nevertheless, the consultants consistently received the cooperation and assistance needed to move the process forward. In addition to the consultation sessions chaired by the consultants, civilian and sworn members of the Police Service met to revise the vision, mission and value statements. They also itemized the strengths and weaknesses of the organization, as well as the opportunities and threats facing its members in both the short and long term. The participants stressed the need for the Business Plan to acknowledge the value of all Police Service employees as the key component in addressing future challenges, and the requirement to invest in training and support to allow them to maximize their potential. The mem-bers also thought that priority should be placed on the completion of a thorough organizational review and strategies to enhance community awareness. All of the feedback received from the public expressed a substantial appreciation and support for the Owen Sound Police Service and the manner in which its members perform their important public ser-vice. Most often the major priority was an enhancement to the existing service levels, although some concerns about cost implications were registered. As a result, the new Business Plan focuses on initia-tives to continue and enhance the current level of service in an effective, cost efficient manner. The Board and the Owen Sound Police Service view the Business Plan as the key document for guid-ing the organization and measuring its success during the next three years. The Board also fully sup-ports this Plan as an essential component of its civilian governance responsibility.

2014—2016 Business Plan

The success of any business plan lies in the ability of those with oversight responsibilities to organize the work and achieve the goals and objectives that have been established. In order to ensure its success, the following steps have been put into place to accurately monitor the on-going work that has been undertaken to implement the identified goals and objectives of this plan: Annual Review A review of the previous years work on the plan will be undertaken in January. The identified goals and objectives for the coming year will be examined as to there continued relevance, and those responsible for the oversight will develop there implementation teams tying those identified individuals to the goal and objective through their personal performance review and personal goal and objectives setting for the coming year. A report will be generated in each quarter of the year that clearly indicates where the stage at which a goal and objective is at until it has been implemented. These reports will be forwarded to the board for their review. Annual Report The Owen Sound Police Service, Annual Report is a legislated requirement of the service. The report, which details the activities of the police service in the previous year, is also used to facilitate the exchange of information and report ability that the police service has to the community, council and its members. The reports will be made available on the website. Action In the business plan those individuals who hold a responsibility for implementation have been identified. These members will be required to report on their progress in getting their goals and objectives implemented. Monthly Up-date A bi-annual report will be filed by the Chief of Police indicating the current status of all goals and objectives with the Board to ensure that all facts of the business plan are be-ing pursued in a timely manner, or in the alternative, issues that are preventing the process from going forward have been identified and are being addressed.
