This service improvement plan (SIP) has been prepared to assist police services boards, police services and their Zone Advisor in the development of responses to this inspection. The SIP columns provide: the exact wording of the recommendation in the Report; the relevant Regulatory, Ministry Guideline or Best Practice references; an identifier for which stakeholder is responsible for ensuring compliance to the stated recommendation; a column for internal tracking identifying who is responsible for implementation; a column for the board or Chief to track implementation by date; an interim reporting column; and finally a column for the Zone Advisor to reconcile completed activities after 180-days
