Chief Cessford advised DPD works closely with the Engineering Department when an incident occurs on Delta roads and traffic needs to be diverted. The department's principle strategies include prompt response, security of the scene, treatment of injured, investigation of the circumstances and clearing of the incident in a timely fashion. Road closures are often necessary to ensure the safety of the first responders, the general public and to allow officers to deal with the complexities of the investigation which can include subsequent legal action.

Chief Cessford advised that staff researched the Court Watch Program and reported most areas have disbanded the program. The philosophy behind the program to observe court proceedings and report on their findings had merit; but due to lack of funding and interest, most Court Watch Programs have terminated.


-- Verbal Update Received

During discussion, it was commented that there should be a "watchdog" to oversee court proceedings. Chief Cessford advised most cases are "observed" on a case by case basis, noting there has been significant community representation at the Laura Szendrei homicide trial.

Intended Use:

Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Portion of the Strategic Community Investment Funds

Plan and Progress Report Corporation of Delta

Report date: June 30, 2012

Traffic Fine Revenues support Delta Police Department as it has moved from a firm foundation in traditional policing to a proactive community based service, with a framework that serves Delta through value-based leadership, professionalism and community partnerships that instill public trust and confidence, reduce crime and its impact, and maintains safety and order.

The 2010 - 2013 strategic planning process identified the following strategic goals for the Department:

o Delta Roads: Safest in BC o Strategic Crime Reduction o Innovative Specialized Services o Leadership From Everyone o Facilities Enhancement

Traffic Fine Revenue has been incorporated into the Police operating budget as a permanent funding source to support the staffing for programs and services that ensured achievement of the above strategic goals.

The Corporation of Delta's schedule of payments from the province in order to defray the cost of local policing were as follows:

In order to provide for future years requirements, the payments were allocated as follows: $1,856,878 was used towards the Police operating budget in 2011 and the balance of $644,105 was set aside in a reserve account for police operations in 2012.

Goals/Achievements/Outcomes: Significant achievements from the actions plans developed to realize the strategic goals for 2010-2013 are as follows:

Delta Roads: Safest in BC Traffic Safety is a concern for all that live, work and travel through Delta. With a large seaport, BC Ferries terminal and a growing industrial park, Delta has a diverse mixture of

vehicles sharing our roads. Delta Police Department is committed to making our roads safe for everyone through a number of initiatives including:

• Developing a Selective Traffic Enforcement Plan (STEP) as a road map for Traffic; • Safety Initiatives, Operational Plans and Special Events; . • Enhancing traffic safety education in partnership with DPD Media Section, School

Liaison Officers and Patrol; • Implementing Intelligence-led analysis of traffic collisions and statistical reviews

to assist with targeted enforcement, education and safety initiatives; • Ensuring appropriate resource levels exist to complement current and upcoming

projects; • Developing best practice and Major Case Management guidelines for fatal and

serious collisions involving criminal code offences.

Strategic Crime Reduction Delta Police believe in intelligence-led policing. It is not enough to simply react to crime; police must think and act strategically to stop criminal activity before it happens. Some high level goals for Strategic Crime Reduction include:

• Enhancing communications to the public to deliver timely information regarding current trends and topics (identity theft, luring, fraud scams, internet safety, etc.);

• Identifying additional training opportunities for members and civilians in Major Case Management and enhanced police tactics;

• Ensuring intelligence-led programs (COMPSTAT, Chronic Offenders) are using the most appropriate technology;

• Increasing the number of Block Watch communities throughout Delta; • Utilizing Reserve Constables and Volunteers in crime reduction strategies.

Innovative Specialized Services Delta Police are proud of the specialized services offered to the communities in Delta. The last strategic plan resulted in the development of the Community Health Intervention Program, specialized crime reduction teams and the introduction of Caber, Canada's first trauma dog used to help victims of crime. Moving forward, Delta Police continues to develop services to improve operations both internally and for the public including:

• Establishing a Domestic Violence Unit; • Exploring opportunities for strategic integration with outside agencies; • Working with non-police agencies to develop topical forums on crime reduction

including bullying and domestic violence, resources for immigrants and programs for youth in the community;

• Establishing a Delta-wide Block Watch program.


Leading Edge Technology

Technology is in a constant state of development. New technologies have changed how police respond to criminal activity. Investigations become increasingly complex as new forms of communications and information sharing are developed. Delta Police is seeking to ensure we equip our staff with the appropriate tools to fight crime and ensure we meet the needs of the public we serve. There are a number of operational and administrative goals in planning our investment into new technology which include:

• Developing an integrated approach to information systems software to ensure timely and accurate information for investigations and administration;

• Implementing digital fingerprint technology; • Investing in crime scene and collision analysis equipment including thermal

imaging and laser scan technology; • Continuing to integrate with outside agencies in data and information sharing.

Leadership from Everyone Developing strong leaders is a contemporary issue for many organizations throughout Canada. Delta Police believes that being a leadership organizatian takes continual work and commitment to developing leaders. We expect every member, civilian and volunteer to behave as a leader and have re-committed to this philosophy. Every section ofthe department has identified similar goals including:

• Making resources available to those who show interest in promotion and professional development;

• Establishing succession planning programs in all areas of the department; • Establishing inter-departmental mentorship programs; • Providing junior members with new opportunities during investigations; • Offering training in a number of areas with a focus on leadership development.

Facilities Enhancement The Delta Police Department continues to grow in size as a reflection of the communities of Delta. With growth comes the need for space; and paramount to quality policing is the need for appropriate accommodations for training, operations and administration of police services. Plans for capital facilities include:

• Developing an enhanced training facility for use-of-force and weapons training and re-qualification;

• Determining the appropriate timelines and feasibility of a new Headquarters building;

• Ensuring spatial needs for all sections are identified and improved to maintain effective work flow;

• Researching the feasibility of off-site Professional Standards office.

2012 FCM Resolution Amendment . . .

At the January 30, 2012 RegularCouncii Meeting,peltaoouncil¢ndorsed astaff recommendation to fOTWard a Delta Police resolution titled,"Federal Fuudingfor

CSCP12.3.03 Federal Funding for Independent Municipal Police Departments

WHEREAS, The Government of Canada has introduced legislation implicating a number of federal policing initiatives including, but not limited to, increased drug enforcement, improved homeland security, identification of child and immigrant sexual exploitation, prevention of human trafficking, and enhanced border and port policing; and

WHEREAS, Local municipal police forces which are responsible for policing 78% of the municipalities across Canada are implicated in these federal policing initiatives despite that fact that these initiatives are a federal responsibility and beyond the scope of local municipal policing responsibilities; and

WHEREAS, Bill C-10 (Streets and Communities Act) has resulted in several federal legislative changes that have lead to the establishment of new criminal offences, stricter penalties, mandatory minimum sentencing, elimination of conditional sentencing, increai>ed pretrial detention, and harsher sentencing principles for young offenders; and

WHEREAS, These federal legislative changes will place additional demands on local municipal police forces that will be called upon to attend court more frequently and will be responsible for managing increased administration; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That the Federation of Canadian Municipalities request that the federal government allocate resources to local municipal police departments so that they have the necessary means to manage the policing demands arising from new federal crime legislation including Bill C-10.

Corporation of Delta, British Columbia

Background Research and Assessment:

Background

FCM has not considered a resolution on this issue in the past three years

Implications arising from federal legislative changes including Bill C-10 (Streets and Communities Act) will lead to additional time and work demands by local municipal police departments. Where this legislation is federally mandated additional resources should be provided so as to avoid a decline in the ability of municipal police to deliver services.

Current Status

Local municipal police forces are currently responsible for policing 77% of the municipalities across Canada. By their nature these police forces are implicated in federal policing initiatives brought about by federal changes to the system.

Canada's auditor general warned that the RCMP had cut federal policing. In June 2011 he stated, " ... other RCMP programs, primarily federal policing, had to cut back. In particular, the RCMP's Federal and International Operations Directorate - which has responsibility for organized crime investigations, border integrity, drug enforcement, and money laundering -has had to reduce its budget by more than $47.7 million or 8.4 percent in the 2010-11 fiscal year."

When the RCMP is unable to perform its federal policing duties, local forces' must pick up the slack. Every year, municipalities spend hundreds of millions of dollars on major organized crime investigations, interprovincial and international Internet crime, security for federal events and

. international dignitaries, commercial crime and national securitlt investigations.

The Streets and Communities Act is another example of a policy initiative that had originally been designed to impact areas of federal responsibility, but has since led to anindirec\ and potentially direct increase of demands beyond the scope of local municipal policing responsibilities.

Analysis

In 2004, the federal government developed a National Security Policy which outlines a strategic framework and action plan designed to ensure that Canada is prepared for and can respond to current and future security threats. Over the last eight years, the Ministry of Public Safety has used this Policy to guide the development of a number of federal policing initiatives, including, but not limited to, increased drug enforcement, improved homeland security, identification of child and immigrant sexual exploitation, prevention of human trafficking, and enhanced border and port policing.

On March 12, 2012, the House of Commons passed Bill C-10 (Safe Streets and Communities Act) which enacted the Justice for Victims of Terrorism Act and amended the State Immunity Act, the Criminal Code, the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Corrections and Conditional Release Act, the Youth Criminal Justice Act, and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The bill imposed a number of changes to minimum sentencing for many crimes including child and immigrant sexual exploitation, organized-crime related drug charges as well as other victim-based reforms.

Several reports estimate that Bill C-10 could cost anywhere from $78.6 million to $924 million over the next five years. As an example, local municipal police forces may be called upon more frequently to testify in court - this takes away front line policing resources and creates a gap that must be filled using existing resources compensated at a premium entitlement or by adding new resources. In addition, the expanding responsibilities of the federal RCMP are not being accompanied by appropriate resources which means that local police will need to fill the gaps.

The federal government has committed to paying the direct costs associated with implementing Bill C-10 federal legislative changes. However, local municipal police forces are concerned that they will be obligated to bear the indirect costs associated with enforcing these arid other legislative changes.

Assessment and Recommendation

Federal policing initiatives stemming from Canada's Natural Security Policy and federal legislative changes resulting from the Safe Streets and Communities Act will demand more time

and resources from local municipal police forces. This work goes beyond the scope of local municipal policing. Therefore, FCM is supportive of the request that the federal government allocate resources to manage the municipal policing demands arising from new federal crime policies and legislation including Bill C-10.

Staff recommends Category "A"; concurrence.

",

- 2 -Community Donations for Volunteer Fleet October 1, 2012

At the June 2012 Delta Police Board meeting, staff was asked to approach Community Service groups and the Delta Police Foundation to seek donations towards replacing the volunteer fleet as these vehicles are starting to reach the end of their useful lives.

• DISCUSSION:

Through a partnership of generous donations from Delta Police Foundation and the Rotary Clubs of Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta, 3 Chevrolet Orlando vans are being donated to the Delta Police Department. These vehicles will be deployed to the Community Police Stations in each community.

The value of the donated vehicles is approximately $75,000. As these donated vehicles will replace existing vehicles in the fleet, there are no additional operating costs to consider. In addition, Mr. Moray Keith, Chair of the Delta Police Foundation is supplying the decaling for the vehicles.

• CONCLUSION:

The Board is apprised of any monetary and/or in-kind donation of a value of $500 or more, in order to formally authorize acceptance of the same. Accordingly, staff is seeking Board approval for acceptance ofthese donated vans valued at approximately $75,000.

From: Kelsey Spring Sent: September-20-12 7:52 AM To: HonYee Cc: Lois Jackson Redirect; Mayor Lois Jackson Subject: Update Wed, Sept 19,2012 RE: Traffic Situation - TilburyTo Tsawwassen

Mr. Vee,

The attention that Delta Council, Engineering and Police have put to improving the traffic flow for Delta residents driving in Delta from Tilbury to Ladner and Tsawwassen is having a significant effect.

Here is a summary of observations noted while using the left lane along River Road and 62B that eventually crosses over Hwy 99 and becomes Hwy 17 to Tsawwassen. These observations were noted on Wed 20120919.

1. Wednesday 20120919 = 20 Minutes starting at 15:30. South bound line up begon near 62B St and 65BAve. a) 68 St & RiverRd = Signage emphasis on "Local Traffic Only". Both directions. Flag person

enforcement. b) 62B 5t & 65B Ave = Signage emphasis on no left turn from 62B to 65B when south bound. No

north bound restriction. Police enforcement visible parked on east side of 64 St. facing north. Saw approx 8 vehicles over a 3 minute period that were either north or south bound on 62B St,

turn from 62B onto 65B Ave. About half saw the Police cruiser sitting nearby on 64 St and stopped and backed up or turned around to reenter 62B. Others proceeded east on 65b and turned south on 64 St. Two of these were subsequently seen to be stopped by the Police before our visibility was obscured.

c) 62B St & 60 Ave = No apparent sign age but could perhaps have been there. Enforcement visible in the form of a police SUV with flashers. On other side of 62B, saw two vehicles turning westward onto 60 Ave from 62B, then do a U-turn around the No U Turn sign and then reenter 62B. This is a busy area and everyone who cuts in at this pOint causes a lot of confusion and delay for others.

d) 62B St, two vehichles north bound driving on shoulder as they approached 60 Ave. Both were headed for the No U-turn trick noted above.

2. Comments:

a) Comparing the Monday, Tues and Wednesday (Sep. 19'h), transit times have dropped from 52 to 25 to 20 minutes respectively. The "Local Traffic" restrictions appear to be having a significant impact when backed up by enforcement. These were suggested in our input of 20110914. They need to be backed up by enforcement for a good period of time. These restrictions will likely be necessary, until the SFPR is open.

b) Suggest more clear and emphatic bi-directional signage at 62B St & 65B Ave with an emphasis on NO U Turns on 62B itself. Enforcement will be needed to get the message across. These restrictions will likely be necessary, until the 5FPR is open.

c) With regards to 1c and 2c above, the No U-Turn sign is there. To be effective, I think this will need to be enforced per item Ion the sketch provided earlier. I had also suggested that the concrete ribbon be extended per item 2 on the sketch.

d) With regards to ld and 2d above, stronger sign age is needed re driving on the shoulder and this needs to be backed up by enforcement or blockage points. (See item 5 on the sketch).

e) The following comment embedded below in italics is copied from a submission made on Tues the lS'h. It remains pertinent. It should be noted however that the traffic in the left lane of 62B trying to head south to Ladner, Tsawwassen and the Ferry, was moving on Wed Sep 19'h, at approximately the same pace as that in the right lane of 62B heading for the Tunnel and Vancouver. Given the even flow, there is a great reduction in lane jumping in the vicinity of 60'h Ave from the right lane of 62B (normally faster) to the left lane of 62B (normally slower) as traffic moves north on 62B in the vicinity of 60 Ave. As expected, if the left south bound lane of 62B is able to flow through at a similar pace to that ofthe right south bound lane of 62B bound for the tunnel, there is no point in lane jumping and the vehicles south bound in the left lane of 62B receive their fair shake ofthe available "bandwidth".

a. A huge number of vehicles use the Vancouver intended right lane of 62B when heading south towards the tunnel exchange and then change to the left flow through lane by jumping in front of slower moving heovier trucks at the 62B St and 60 Ave intersection. This is the same intersection suffering from the "cross country" troffic thot is now supposed to be local only. This results in the troffic in the left lane of 62B trying to head south to Ladner, Tsawwassen and the Ferry Terminal, making extremely slow progress , even though they are on a straight flow through path. Between all the lane jumpers and u-Turns etc going on at 62B St and60 Ave and south to the Shell station, it can take 15+ minutes to crawl the last Ji km. To help reduce the lane changes, I had suggested (see item 4 on the sketch) signs that prohibit lane changes beyond a certain point. This is done in other locations such as the Tunnel itself Without restricting the lone changes, the last Ji km prior to the intersection of 17 and 99 will continue to be jammed up.

3) Several other thoughts for consideration were noted in my email of Tue, Sept lS'h.

The attention that Delta Council, Engineering and Police have put to improving the traffic flow for Delta residents driving in Delta from Tilbury to Ladner and Tsawwassen is having a significant effect. With continued effort and further improvements, it will hopefully be possible to sustain the results and trim further time from the local commute.

Rd: Massive pile-up Highwat # 10 and 88th St., Dumptruck with trailer.

September 10, 2012.

Dear Sir: Once again we had a massive pile-up of a dump-truuk with a number of

cars with the resulting stoppage of traffic for hours. vfuat made it so galling to us was that the emergency repair crew from Surrey, that was going to help us with a toxic sewage back-up in our condo in Tsawwassen,

was not able to proceed. The OPTIMIST reported that the accident was caused by a dump-truck

with a trailef plowing into a passenger vehicle and it in turn hitting another vehicle. Luckily personal injuries were insignificant. HO"::;,,;:n,

the traffic mess waw gigantic once more{ we living south of the tunnel in Tsawwassen). The truck driver was charged with driving with undue care and attention.

dur questions to you are:

1) Did the drivwr carry a valid licence for a dump-truck with trailer? 2) What is the fine for driving with undue care and attention?Is this

an effective deterrent?

3) Who,if anybody, checked the roadworthyness of the combined trucktrailer combination, i.e. - were the brakes adequate for this vehicle vombination? - was the steeringof the truck satisfactory? - was thr hitch between truck and trailer satisfactory? - were the tm±es adequate for the total load?

It cpuld easily have been o~e of the considerable number of trucks that would have failed a routine roadside test.

We, being greatly inconvenienced and potentially contaminated by the toxic sewage, and the general public surely ddserve satisfactory answers and explanations to these quwstions.

Mr. Puetz:

DELTA POLICE DEPARTMENT

Jim Cessford - Chief Constable

This is to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated the 18 September 2012, regarding the "Massive pile-up Highway #10 and 88th Street.

I had tried to speak with you on the telephone regarding your questions but it seems you would not take my calls. In your letter you asked some questions to which I now provide a response:

1. the driver was a fully licensed truck driver. 2. the fine for Driving Without Due Care and Attention is $368.00, plus 6 demerit

points, plus an ICBC surcharge. This is an effective deterrent. 3. The Delta Police Department Truck Unit members inspected the truck and trailer

involved in this collision and confirmed the vehicle was properly maintained and roadwortby.

I personally attended at the scene of this collision and I am satisfied that the traffic was dispersed in a timely manner. The traffic was also re-routed around the collision site in an orderly fashion.

I trust this letter answers your questions.

Yours truly,

~ Chief Constable

Cycling to Beat Cancer

On behalf of the 2012 Ride2Survive team, we extend a huge "Thank You· for providing us with Police support from Ken Uslpluk, Dave Ogllvy, John Merryman, volunteers and reserves. Your team has

. always been very supportive of the R2S, and we are truly honoured having you play sUCh a huge rollin bringing us home to Delta safely.

Though fully recovered physically, we are still going through the mental highs of the June 23rd ride from Kelowna to Delta.

The day started with the wake up call at 2:15 AM. Barely awake after only a few hours of light sleep we rolled out of Kelowna at 3:30AM. Each year We face the wind but this year, thick fog met us as we climbed the Penask summit. We arrived in Merritt 20 minutes a head of schedule.

The weather held good from Merritt to the Britton Creek rest stop where the rain started and grew very heavy as we descended down into the snow shed. In Hope, the sun and warmth met us at 3pm for our 40-minute supper stop. Leaving Hope, the hurricane winds and torrential rain welcomed us until Mission - and still the riders and crew completed the distance without incident.

We arrived tired but elated in Delta at 11:05 PM after 19.5 hours of ride time, an hour late .

We had strong and powerful weather to conquer, we had a strong and power team, andwe had even stronger and more powerful donation dollars. To date we have raised over $424,000.00 directly for cancer research.

You are part ofthe Rlde2Survive extended family. Your generous donation allows us to continue with one of our stated values - "no event cost overhead comes from the donation dollars" - this allows us to

directly pass 100% of the donation money through to Research Projects in Canada.

Thank you once again for your generous donation. Your commitment and dedication strengthens the spirit of this ride. We hope you will consider being part of this grass roots R2S team again in 2013. please do not hesitate to contact us directly either by phone 604.789.5840, oremail [email protected].

We look forward to June 22, 2013 for next year's ride.
