Summary
"Volume 2 of the Report of the Ipperwash Inquiry recommends that the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) prepare and distribute an annual report on the Framework for Police Preparedness for Aboriginal Critical Incidents (recommendation # 41). In keeping with this recommendation, the OPP is pleased to provide an annual report for the Framework approach for the years 2007–2012. A Framework for Police Preparedness for Aboriginal Critical Incidents (the Framework) is contained within an OPP system called Police Orders. Police Orders are policy, procedures, directions and guidelines issued by the Commissioner. Police Orders are structured to reflect OPP corporate direction, ensuring that core policing areas are effectively and efficiently addressed and that public safety and crime prevention are adequate and effective. Within Police Orders are 15 Critical Policies covering areas of greatest concern, impact and repercussion. The Framework is a Critical Policy. Police Orders and Critical Policy may involve operational matters, and are generally not publicly available. This report, therefore, provides an overview of the principles contained in the Framework and outlines performance indicators for the application of the Framework approach over the six-year period from 2007–2012. It should be noted that the statistical information reflects available data and therefore does not include statistics for a full six-year period"--text from Introduction.
