Purpose of the Annual Report After the end of each year, by March 31 st of the following year, the Board will compile an annual report. The Annual Report will be provided to Council at a regular meeting of Council. Upon receipt by Council, the report will be made available to the public no later than April 30th. The Annual Report may include but is not limited to the status of strategic initiatives identified in the corresponding Business Plan, OPP statistical data and analysis, OPP incidents of note, the status of OPP special programs such as RIDE etc... as well as the financial results for both OPP and Board operations. In 2015, the elected Chair and Council appointed member was Mayor, Richard B. Woodcock. The elected Vice-Chair and Provincial Appointee was Bert Donia until the expiration of his provincial appointment on June 19, 2015. Stacey Scott was the Council appointed Community Member until Bert Donia was appointed as the Community member by Council at the April 7 th, 2015 meeting, effective June 20, 2015. There has been a provincially appointed member vacancy since June 20, 2015. Pursuant to subsection 27(10) of the Police Services Act, the Appointments Officer from the Ministry of Community Safety & Correctional Services co-ordinates this appointment which requires an Order in Council from the province. There were only two meetings held in 2015. The following contributed to the reasons that four meetings were not held: Council s decision whether to enter into another contract with the OPP or to operate under Section 5.1 of the Police Services Act (a decision to renew the contract for a period of three years was made in May 2015), waiting on the province to appoint a provincial member to the PSB and the availability of the remaining two members due to reasons beyond their control. The Ministry was contacted in regards to this situation. OPP Peterborough Detachment The Detachment Commander in 2015 was Inspector Tim Tatchell. The detachment has a compliment of 74 constables. Monthly reports and verbal reviews were presented at the NK PSB meetings attended by Inspector Tatchell and Staff Sgt. Galeazza. The Peterborough OPP also participated in the following programs and activities in the community in 2015. PC Greg White presented the DARE program to the grade 6 students at the Apsley Public School and starting in September 2015 has transitioned to the OPP Kids program which is geared towards providing educational opportunities on the various issues facing our students. PC White participated in 2 Lockdown Annual Report 2015 North Kawartha Police Services Board Page 3 of 10

drills and facilitated 2 restorative justice meetings which involved the school/parents/accused person/victim. On May 6, 2015, the Pedal for Hope cycling team attended the Apsley PS as part of their annual fund raiser for Pediatric Cancer research. Sgt. Smith, along with the Peterborough County OPP marine unit and the marine student attended the annual Cops and Kids Canadian Tire fishing derby held on Saturday July 11, 2015 on Jack Lake. The event was sponsored by Canadian Tire and the Police Associations of Ontario. Approximately 80 kids were in attendance. 01Jul15 - Peterborough County OPP Auxiliaries along with Detachment members attended the Canada day parade to provide traffic control during the event. PC Jim Evans again attended the Remembrance Day services. PC Evans laid a wreath on behalf of the OPP. 21Nov15 Peterborough County OPP Detachment and Auxillary members participated in the annual Christmas parade. Cst. Jason Folz is the new Community Safety Officer and he met with the Glen Alda Seniors group twice to talk about frauds and scams. The 2015 Festive R.I.D.E. ( Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere ) campaign ran from 23Nov15-02Jan16. North Kawartha Community Policing (NKCP) The North Kawartha Community Policing Committee is a volunteer, not for profit organization that serves as the community half of the partnership between the community and the Police as mandated by the OPP definition of Community Policing. In 2015 there was no interaction with the North Kawartha Community Policing Committee which may be due to a lack of volunteers. In 2015, North Kawartha Community Policing was supported by the Police Services Board with a $ 500 allocation in the Community Initiatives line of the policing budget (with actual expenses of $ 0) and with heat and hydro expenses in the amount of $ 2,125 provided to the Emergency Services Headquarters, 10193 Highway 28 where the NKCP office is located. Training, Education and Presentations Received Members were unable to attend the OAPSB (Ontario Association of Police Services Boards) Spring and Fall Conferences.

2015 Strategic Accomplishments The strategic accomplishments are based on an evaluation of those initiatives identified in the North Kawartha Police Services Board s (NK PSB) 2014-2016 Business Plan. Below is a list of the items that were dealt with by the NK PSB in 2015. Road Watch Program The Corporation of the Township of North Kawartha passed by-law # 59/13 in June 2013 to authorize participation in the ROAD WATCH@ program. The agreement will renew annually. NKCP agreed to facilitate the program forwarding citizen reports which will give the OPP the necessary tools to appropriately deal with these acts of unsafe driving. Offenders will be aware that speeding, aggressive driving and unsafe driving practices are being monitored by their fellow citizens. The OPP support this program. General Traffic concerns Speeding Issues within the Township boundaries (Glen Alda, Northey s Bay Rd.) Officers did attend the two locations that complaints were received in and Staff Sgt. Galeazza presented the results. While some speeding was identified, it was not excessive. The Board and the OPP discussed the benefit of visual police presence to reduce speeding. Communication Plan for Highway 28 Disruptions There was discussion on the fact that Highway 28 is a main artery transferring residents and students to and from Peterborough. Any closure of the Highway can have a large impact on North Kawartha. Emergency Detour Routes (EDR) were discussed. Because the area is very rural, it is easy for people detouring to get lost. The municipality is willing to help with detours. The Chief Administrative Officer has been added to the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) contact list for closures to provincial highways in our corridor. The Community Emergency Management Coordinator has been added to the OPP communication contact list. Parking Infractions in Apsley There was discussion on the trucks parking onto the travelled road at the bend on Burleigh Street near Foodland. There was discussion on adding barriers to prohibit parking. Further discussion may be needed with the County of Peterborough to extend the area for prohibited parking. There was discussion on enforcement of the parking bylaw. Dunfords Road and Big Cedar Lake Road A ratepayer discussed concerns with speeding and sight lines at Dunfords Road. He was concerned that the sight lines are obscured by the street name signs and the Annual Report 2015 North Kawartha Police Services Board Page 6 of 10

guardrails and as a result, the potential for an accident. He inquired about the process to sign the area of Big Cedar as a No Passing Zone. The Board contacted the MTO and this concern will be addressed in 2016. Support North Kawartha Community Policing (NKCP) No minutes were provided to the NK PSB or the Council liaison and no members of NKCP attended any NK PSB meetings in 2015. The NK PSB received no requests for funding. There was discussion on the benefits of having community policing. Many Community Policing groups around the province are disappearing due to lack of volunteers. Community Policing is a volunteer organization and there is an OPP liaison as well as a Council appointed liaison. In order to assist this group, the liaisons would need to be invited to attend their meetings. SALT Program ( Seniors and Law Enforcement Together) SALT is not currently active within the community. Public Education There were no specific public education campaigns in 2015. Future of Policing In May 2015, the Corporation of the Township of North Kawartha made a decision to renew the contract with the OPP through the Province, in particular, the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services for a period of three years, from July 1, 2015, ending December 31, 2018. Peterborough Drug Strategy / DARE program / Pedal for Hope PC Greg White presented the DARE program to the grade 6 students at the Apsley Public School and starting in September 2015, transitioned to the OPP Kids program which is geared towards providing educational opportunities on the various issues facing our students. Upon a recommendation from the PSB, the Township of North Kawartha supported the purchase of an ipod for Pedal for Hope (Cops for Cancer), which raises funds for pediatric cancer, to provide to a student at the Apsley Central School during their visit. Other accomplishments (not specific to the 2014-2016 initiatives) The PSB applied for and received a RIDE grant. The OPP were requested to continue to patrol the apartments in Apsley.
