Board meetings and strategic plans from Ottawa
The committee reviewed the staffing strategy implementation and approved a proposal for a two-phase expansion of board office staff. The discussion centered on adding a senior policy and data analyst and a quality assurance and finance advisor to strengthen oversight capabilities under the Community Safety and Policing Act. Members and the Chief discussed the importance of maintaining operational bandwidth, fostering collaboration between the board office and the police service, and ensuring efficient communication. The committee also directed the executive director to engage a third-party job evaluation specialist to assess the proposed positions and report back on salary ranges and associated financial implications.
The committee meeting focused on a presentation regarding the Digital Modernization Strategy. Key discussion topics included leveraging existing technology investments to improve operational effectiveness, support frontline policing, and enhance service delivery. The proposal outlined a three-tiered pathway for modernization, moving from maximizing current assets to more advanced investigation and real-time operational tools. The committee emphasized the importance of a governance-first approach, ensuring that all future technological deployments prioritize privacy, security, and human accountability, with stage-gate reporting to the board.
