2.0 Divisional Highlights & Milestones Legislative Services/Clerk's Department Highlights

Valuation of City Owned Land Policy for Use of City Lands

A comprehensive policy was prepared and endorsed by Council, detailing the process for determining values for use of City owned lands. The policy provides for consistency and equity amongst users, complies with the provincial legislation and provides revenue to the City for individual, association or commercial use of City lands.

Council Agenda Reports on the Internet. Item Time Index, Viewing of Resolutions

Posting the agenda to the City's webpage with a link to the corresponding Council reports provides Councillors, the media and the public with all of the detailed information that is provided in the Council agenda packages by accessing the City's website. The estimated time that each agenda item was dealt with is also posted on the website allowing users to go directly to the item of interest rather than scrolling through the entire meeting. The ability for Council members to view a motion on the LCD screens ensures the motion is correctly worded and the Council members are clear what is being voted upon.

Departmental Training

Chief Williams attended a symposium on High Rise Firefighting in New Westminster. It was a very valuable training session and a number of training materials were brought back to be used by our department. Deputy Spalding and Deputy McCleary attended a "Train the Trainer" workshop in Kelowna that enables us to deliver an Officer Program in-house to save the costs of sending students to the Lower Mainland. We have been approached by other fire departments in the RDOS to see if they can use our live fire prop at Station 2 and we will be looking at a fee structure and policy development for its use by outside agencies.

New Fire Engine

The Truck Committee has had the opportunity to visit other fire departments that have recently purchased apparatus. They have also met with some manufacturers to finalize the RFP specifications.

Dispatch Study

The contractor for the Dispatch Study has supplied the final copy to the Regional District but it has not been supplied to us as of yet.

Crime Trends"

Penticton RCt\fP responded to approximately 8% fewer overall criminal code offenses within city limits between July 1 and September 30, 2010 than during the same period in 2009. September saw the steepest decline since last year, with 12% fewer criminal code flies and 6% fewer total calls for service received than during the same month in 2009.

Robbery reports remain lower in 2010 than they were in 2009~ however, robberies increased once more in the third quarter, after a steep drop in reported incidents in the second quarter. The majority of this quarter's robberies were categorized as 'other robberies'; that is, without weapons. Several robbery reports in the downtown core were similar, typically involving groups of youths strong-arming passers-by in an attempt to steal their alcohol, cash or other belongings. One male was arrested in August after assaulting a bylaw officer and s tealing coins which he had been collecting from downtown parking meters. RC1\fP continue to investigate the remalOlOg robbery reports.

Once again, reports relating to vehicle crime continue to be lower than last year's numbers; however, Penticton RCMP responded to a comparatively high rate of vehicle break-ins in the third quarter, with concentrations in neighbourhoods in North Penticton, particularly in the area of Riverside Drive as well as Marina Way. Several youths were arrested in relation to vehicle break-ins over the course of the third quarter, causing a significant drop in thefts from vehicles in the last weeks of September, a trend which has thus far continued into October.

Initiatives and Priority Areas

June 30th, 2010 the Ole of the Penticton RCMP and Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton signed an 'Acknowledgement of Consultation (see Appendix A, page 11) which defined the following list of priorities:

1. Police / Community Relations - Communications

2. T raftic - Safe Roads

3. Substance Abuse - Drugs and Alcohol

The initiatives relating to the above noted three priorities are explained below.

Drug Enforcementlll

During the third quarter of2010 Penticton RCMP investigated 58 founded drug offenses.

15 of these files involved illicit drug trafficking. Trafficking involved cocaine (7), cannabis (3), psilocybin AKA magic mushrooms (2), methamphetamine (1), barbiturates (1), MDMA (3), morphine (1) and other drugs (1). 3 of these files involved the trafficking of two or more different drug types by the same individual or group of individuals. Of the 15 trafficking files in the third quarter of 2010,11 have resulted in charges (73% charge rate).

3 of these files involved drug production. One investigation revealed a small 3-plant grow operation in a backyard. Another investigation culminated in a search warrant for a property in the rural area west of Kaleden, revealing a large indoor grow operation totaling approximately 5000 plants.

Community Engagement

The position of Penticton's Downtown Community Coordinator was filled by Jim PORTEOUS, a longtime ReMP member who recently retired.

Citizens On Patrol

Penticton's Citizens on Patrol (COP) continue to be instrumental in tackling crime and disorder in the community. In the third quarter of 20lU COP volunteers maintained routine daytime and Friday and Saturday evening patrols (totaling 324 volunteer hours), providing timely intelligence resulting in police attendance to MVIs, disturbances at the local beach, intoxicated youth, property damage and other types of nuisance complaints. Priority patrol areas include school grounds, Pcnticton's industrial area and concentrated crime and disorder hot spots throughout the city. Citizens on Patrol's daytime volunteers tackled the city's most prominent auto crime hot spots, issuing 302 Lock Out Auto Crime notices between July and September 201 O.

Downtown Community Policing

The Downtown Community Policing Office continues to coordinate all RCMP volunteer operations, including Citizens on Patrol, the Auxiliary Constable program and Penticton Speed \\Tatch, all of which aid in enhancing police to community contact. 4 new auxiliary police officers are currently continuing their training, with a current group of 8 established auxiliaries who continue to assist operations. The downtown office also works closely with the Downtown Penticton Association and other resources in order to address emerging crime and disorder issues which occur in the downtown core.

Pen tieton RCMP's Community Safety Team conducted routine bicycle patrols throughout the summer, concentrating on the downtown core, public beaches and other known crime and disorder hot spots. Pour constables, working in teams of two, targeted nuisance complaints, liquor infractions and other high volume me types which are common within the city during the summer tourist season. A Community Safety Team corporal's position has also been recently filled and is slated to commence once the successful applicant completes the transfer process from another jurisdiction.

establishments and their compliance with the Liquor Control and Licensing Act, in direct partnership with the South Okanagan Liquor Inspectors.

Restorative Justice

Penticton Community Policing continues to offer the Restorative Justice Program, which assisted in mediating 18 tiles in Penticton during the third quarter of 2010. Other restorative justice projects include:

• Ongoing training for additional 13 Restorative Justice Program Volunteer Facilitators.

Prolific and Chronic Nuisance Offenders

Chronic Nuisance Offenders'

Five active chronic nuisance offenders in the city of Penticton generated approximately 3% of the city's total files and approximately 9% of the city's total founded liquor act and cause disturbance complaints during the second and third quarters of 20lU. The group consists of three males aged 35 - 48 and two females aged 25 and 44. All five individuals are known substance abusers and two of the five do not have a fixed address.

The Downtown Community Policing Office and the Community Safety Team continue to target some of these highly visible prolific nuisance criminals in a bid to reduce the fear of crime in the downtown core. An integrated approach including the RCl\IP, Downtown Penticton Association, social housing and other agencies has been successful in taking several of these individuals off the streets and placing them into local housing. In severe cases, courtimposed conditions have been placed on these nuisance offenders to keep them out of the downtown core, where they tend to generate the most files,

Prolific Offender Management and Inter-Agency Communication

Penticton RCMP is committed to fostering an inter-agency approach when focusing on prolific and priority offenders in the community. Members continue to attend regular meetings with youth and adult probation officers, as well as collaborate with local parole officers. These relationships have been instrumental in the identification of high-risk individuals and the timely dissemination of important informacion such as warrants, address changes, conditions and other compliance measures. Penticton RCl\1P continues to actively target some of the city's most prolific offenders through various types of enhanced enforcement as well as facilitating offenders' contacts with social agencies. RC~1P also liaise with other detachments across the province to ensure that warrants are executed on offenders even if they have left the local detachment area.

Crime Stoppers

Crime Stoppers received 31 tips relating to events in Penticton and area during the third quarter of 2010. 2 suspects were arrested as a result of information provided by tipsters. The South Okanagan Crime Stoppers Coordinator also visited all detachments within the area

The girls are involved in high risk behaviours which may include, but are not limited to relational aggression, criminal activities, high risk sexual behaviours and addictions. The program is designed to target decision-making skills and assist the girls in recognizing each decision represents a choice that has the potential for consequences, good and bad.

• Participate in integrated case management meetings with various stakeholders within the community including MCFD, child and Youth Mental Health and local schools to support youth at risk.

• Threat Assessment Protocol - The Youth Constable will take the lead in working with SD67 to develop effective Threat Assessment ProtocoL This will involve delivery of training as well as engaging stakeholder agencies in the community in the process.
