Ottawa’s police chief has reassigned as many as 12 officers to the force’s Guns and Gangs unit as the number of shooting incidents in the city continues to climb.
The deployment comes in advance of a meeting this week between Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, Chief Charles Bordeleau and police board chair Eli El-Chantiry to discuss what could be a record year for gunfire in Ottawa.
There have been 42 shooting incidents in Ottawa so far this year. That compares with 49 in all of 2014.
El-Chantiry said the additional officers will come from other departments within the force.
“It is within the chief’s purview to deploy officers and this reassignment of personnel did not require board clearance or approval. It will not affect the budget,” he said.
The Ottawa force will be seeking as many as 25 new officers in 2016, as issues pertaining to gangs and gunplay continue to escalate in Ottawa. Earlier this year the city pledged $300,000 annually to fund a gang exit strategy that is being delivered by the John Howard Society and Ottawa Community Immigrant Services Organization.
According to El-Chantiry, two police officers from each of the force’s East, West and Central divisions will be reassigned to the Guns and Gangs unit. Members of the Direct Action Response Team (DART), which includes five constables and a sergeant, have already been temporarily reassigned to the Guns and Gangs Investigative team.
