Posted on February 17, 2021 by oshawaexpress in NEWS, POLICE
Durham Regional Police have launched a community survey to help gather input on the board’s Action Plan to Enhance Trust and Confidence in Policing in Durham Region.
Police Services Board Chair Bobbie Drew says community input is “essential” in order for the plan to produce the change the board is pursuing.
“The public must have trust in the DRPS in order for us to meet our community safety goals,” she states.
The action plan focuses on key factors, including strengthening transparency in decision-making, improving diversity and inclusion practices with the DRPS internally and externally in the delivery of community safety, strengthening service delivery related to mental health calls, and supporting the equity and inclusion plan and the four initiatives to address systemic barriers.
