CopLogic Review Recommendations
1) The TPS should leverage existing technology and expand the use of the CopLogic software in order to allow the submission of administrative reports online. 2) The TPS should implement a ‘Security Partner arrest and reporting process’ (Theft Diversion Program) whereby the CopLogic software is used by them to submit reports to the police for processing. 3) The TPS should internally utilize CopLogic to allow its members to submit certain administrative reports. 4) If the previous recommendations are approved, a thorough, City-wide and Service-wide multimedia/social media campaigns must be released, marketing the following: CORE (Citizen Online Report Entry) SPORE (Security Partner Online Report Entry) MORE (Member Online Report Entry) Registries A corporate logo should be created to identify the ‘online reporting programs’ and published throughout the Service and the City, as part of the multimedia awareness campaign. E.G. o Internal marketing to our members should stress the concept that the o Service’s processed data is the product and TPS members are the customers (“Information IS Policing”). o A ‘Social Media’ component is integral for the awareness campaign to be successful, including creating a smartphone application specifically designed for TPS. o The concept of online reporting should be communicated to the public at every contact with membership while continuing to place an emphasis on customer service (dispatch, front line, front desk, website, TPS correspondence, etc.).

The Reviews – in implementation The Right Number Review •
Recommended for the Toronto Police Service, to be efficient, effective and economical, requires 5,781 police officers –
The implementation of this recommendation is dependent on budget discussions for fiscal year 2014

Board Next Steps: Approve hiring, consider approving any recommendations re establishment change
Vision Alignment
Efficient, Effective, Excellence
Estimated Savings
None
Cost Implications
Depending on final approved establishment
Staff Implications
The recommendation would increase number of police officers, reduce stress on employees, reduce unclaimed overtime, may reduce some premium pay. 73
The Right Number Review Recommendations
1) Based on detailed analysis of officers’ activities, volume data, officer caseload, and officer availability, this report finds the number of officers deployed at the TPS should be 5,781. (The approved strength for the Toronto Police Service is 5,604. The Service is currently operating at 5,347.) 2) The number of officers in Homicide, Financial Crimes, Guns and Gangs, and Community Response Units should increase. This supports one of the current strategic priorities of the TPS which is a focus on guns, violence and organized crime. 3) Proactive units, such as the Drug Squad, have the ability to produce results in line with the number of resources allocated to them. The TPS can make strategic decisions as to how many officers should be dedicated to these units given the Service’s strategic priorities.

Internal External Review (interim) Recommendations
1) Revise Service Procedure 05-07 A report should not be required for a “level-1 emergency response” fire if: (a) there were no fatalities, (b) the cause was “determined,” and (c) there was no criminal offence 2) Revise Service Procedure 10-07: Regarding industrial accidents, two criteria should be revised: a) the criteria for dispatching PRU at Communications, b) the criterion for mandatory reports by PRU. 3) Eliminate reports for lost Canadian identification and Ontario licence plates.
4) Eliminate specified lost property reports, i.e. credit or debit cards and cellular phones. 5) Revise the service delivery model for found property calls-for-service i) Implement a selective criteria for accepting some types of found property ii) civilian personnel to deal with low priority and low risk found property calls-for-service 6) Revise workflow for landlord and tenant calls-for-service: filtered through telephone resolution provided by officers at the Central Alternate Response Unit. 7) Implement two filters to minimize PRU deployment for dispute calls-for-service: i.e. Communications intake and the Central Alternate Response Unit.
