Police Matters

Ottawa Police Service Initiative - Jan 2017

Policing across North America is facing a lot of pressures - increasing costs, city growth, changing demographics, growing demands for service, and the increasing complexity of crime.

Ottawa is no different.
The Ottawa Police Service created a program called the Service Initiative (SI) to address these pressures and improve how we serve the city of Ottawa.   The intent is to become more efficient and effective in:

  • Managing the growing demands in our city (e.g. rise in high-tech crimes, human trafficking, etc,);
  • Assigning our police officers in the community;
  • Conducting investigations and solving crime;
  • Using crime information to improve public and officer safety; and,
  • Handling court processes, such as leveraging technology.

The first phase, which involved significant restructuring was launched the week of January 23, 2017. CHNA has worked with our partners in nearby community associations to work with the OPS throughout 2016 to help shape and guide this restructuring.  As a result,  our community will keep our Community Police Officer,  and there are numerous changes being made to ensure more effective policing at the community level.
