ANNEX A

Progress:  2013-2015 Business Plan

 January to June 2014

 

The Ottawa Police Service monitors and tracks the progress of actions and activities that support the implementation of the 2013-2015 Business Plan’s 14 goals and 44 objectives. A self-assessment is completed every six months and the results reported to the Police Services Board, the community and members of the Ottawa Police. 

 

Overall Progress Q1/Q2 Year 2 Implementation – ON TRACK

 

Following the adoption of the Business Plan in March 2013, the OPS embarked on a renewed planning framework and the development of Directorate Operational Plans to define the initiatives and projects to put the strategic priorities into action.   Operational Plans developed for each Directorate identified the specific activities, initiatives and outcomes at the operational level, as well as identify interdependencies and horizontal linkages across the Ottawa Police Service to ensure implementation success.

 

This progress report highlights the key actions and outcomes undertaken by front line officers and civilians over the first two quarters of 2014. The self-assessment identifies strong progress to date, as the needle has moved from moderate progress at the end of 2013 to on track for the first two quarters of 2014.  There has been strong progress made on a number of projects that will improve service to citizens while bringing potential cost savings and increasing capacity.  These initiatives include the refresh of the OPS web site; introduction of on-line reporting; soft launch of the Collision Reporting Centre at Huntmar Station, Ethics Sessions, refit of existing space to serve as a Service Command Centre, launch of the Workplace Innovation project and continued progress on SI.  

 

Si has identified transformed opportunities to improve service into a series of projects across the organization, ranging from operational, multi-directorate, and/or organizational in scope and scale:  

·         Demand Management – Control System and Alternative Response Options

·         Deployment Model – Sustainable, Dynamic and Effective Alignment of Resources

·         Investigative Model – Prioritization, Solvability and Resource Optimization

·         Multi-Agency Group – Joint Working, Joint Problem-Solving and Joint Evaluation

·         Court Process Model – Improving Effectiveness and Efficiency

Supported by an outcome-based culture:

·         Performance Management Framework – Accountability, Transparency and Performance

Enabled through the effective use of information:

·         Evidence Based Decision-Making – People, Process and Systems

 

In early April the Service Initiative Program launched into Phase 3; project sponsors have put together strong teams with subject matter experts from within the police service in addition to project management and change management expertise that will take us through project planning and execution to close out.   This current phase consisted of taking the high level work plans (desired future state) developed in the initiation phase and breaking out the detail stakeholder, resource, implementation and communication plans and activities. The project teams are actively engaged at all levels.  The projects are at different stages and this is being managed and coordinated through our Program Management Office.  All projects have touch points with other strategic projects within OPS such as the Workplace Improvement Plan and Information Management with all projects proceeding with firm alignment to the OPS business plan, operational plans, and a focus on Provincial Adequacy standards.  The Si Program office is currently launching integration activities to address the interdependencies within each project and weekly updates have provided awareness of the gaps/opportunities as the Si Program moves forward into the design and implementation phase.

 

Additionally, the OPS continues its engagement of stakeholders and the community in moving forward with the Guns and Gang Strategy, Violence against Women and Road and Traffic Safety initiatives, which are included in this self assessment.  Key accomplishments achieved during the reporting period have been grouped within each of the four strategic priorities.

Identify gaps and partnership opportunities

ü  Ending Violence Against Women is a priority for the OPS and we continue to do a lot of great work with respect to VAW through sections such as Partner Assault, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse, Youth, Elder Abuse, our Victim Crisis Unit, and Patrol.   The three areas of focus: research, prevention, and response.   The OPS is in the process of entering into a research agreement with the University of Ottawa with the goal of gaining a better understanding of VAW in Ottawa and how our Service responds and investigates it.   The University will also be assisting in developing a process to interview VAW victims to help evaluate our areas of strength and for improvement, with respect to police response.  The research is expected to be completed by the Spring of 2015.  The OPS is partnering with the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women (OCTEVAW) and Crime Prevention Ottawa, on a public awareness campaign to be launched in the Fall of 2014. The campaign will build on OCTEVAW’s existing “I can MANifest change” campaign and focus on positive messaging that targets an audience typically left out of VAW discussions — men and boys. Finally, we are looking at holding a community consultation to help us develop tangible ways to improve our response to VAW, both as a police service and together with, and through, our partners.

ü  Engagement is a priority of the OPS, with engagement and outreach to our diverse communities through a number of programs such as the OPS Flag and Banner events and participation / recognition of Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, Black History Month, Chinese New Year, Irish Week, International Women’s Day, International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, National Victims of Crime Awareness Week, International Day of Awareness about epilepsy (Purple Day), International Day of Pink, Vaisakhi, Passover, Asian Heritage Month, Haitian Flag Day, International Day Against Homophobia/Transphobia, Aboriginal Awareness Week, the Annual Clothesline Project, National Aboriginal Month, Italian History Week, Savuot, and Anniversary of Philippine Independence and Heritage Week.
