commonsense 正路正在悄悄回归。但是因为有个别社区的人把警察形容为强盗。所以这种回归竟然也争议重重。

我个人对渥太华警察力量一直抱有信心,从来没有国哪怕一点点的怀疑。也许能力有限,但是很可能跟各种政治正确的框框太多有关,打击了执法力量的士气。

Ottawa police bring back old community strategy in 3 places
Social Sharing

Teams coming to Vanier and Overbrook, Carlington, south end this fall

Some of the people who pushed Ottawa police to embed officers back into neighbourhoods are welcoming the force's plan to add more neighbourhood resource officers in some areas this fall.

"We heard from our community. We heard from membership. We definitely heard from our police services board that we have to get back to community policing and so that's what we are doing," said interim Chief Steve Bell.

Bell said the three teams of eight officers each will launch in October in Carlington, south Ottawa, and Vanier and Overbrook, with plans for more as police see how this approach is working.

"We know when we put boots on the ground, we build better relationships. When we build those better relationships we have better, increased public safety in those areas," he said.

There is a community police centre on McArthur Avenue that's not staffed full-time, like each of its 14 centres, and one south of Carlington on Meadowlands Drive near Merivale Road.

The "Ottawa South" community police centre is in Orléans.

'Huge mistake'
In a heavily criticized move, the service pulled back neighbourhood officers in 2017, planning to incorporate those functions into frontline units.

There are now 14 community police officers, down from about 60.

Sahada Alolo, co-chair of the police's Community Equity Council, said that has been widely seen as "a huge mistake."

"There's a lot of distrust among community members of the police, but if the police officers are in the communities, working hand-in-hand, we can begin to build the trust," Alolo said.

Bell said the 2017 move was not a mistake, but just something that didn't work as planned.

"Theoretically it was very sound in terms of how we could deliver that service. As we practically delivered it in this city, it didn't work the way we wanted to," he said.

"We need to actually listen what people have to say and put those resources in those communities."

Tailored to the community
Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, who became police board chair in December, said she and residents were demanding this change and she is glad it is going ahead.

"Police need to know the players in the community and the community needs to know the police," she said.

Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury said he hopes the new model is sustainable and will allow police to tap into resources such as school boards and social services.

"Right now, what we're seeing is police running from call to call and that simply doesn't get to the more complex issues," he said.

"Police can't fix all the issues; they're one important voice."

Bell said they want to tailor each unit to the community, with specific training.

"[Vanier has] one of the largest Inuit populations outside of the North. It would be very beneficial for our officers to understand the nuances of that culture," he said.

The move is one part of the service's latest strategic plan, meant to guide the force until the end of 2020 — a shorter term than usual, given the new board has been in place less than a year and a new chief has not been hired.

It also includes being a more inclusive, diverse service, better supporting officers and improve its technology and workspaces.
