Summary
"An examination of media reports and anecdotal information from various police services revealed that across Canada police services are challenged by the rising costs associated with community safety and are faced with changing fiscal environments, imperatives to get more from less, and increased demands and expectations to operate through partnership solutions. After two months of domestic research, analysis and discussion to establish the domestic context for their studies, ISIS 2012 then embarked upon a review of the literature on a global stage in order to determine whether, or not, other countries and international communities were facing similar issues and, if so, how they are managing these issues. [As a result] ISIS 2012 has developed a model of Full Circle Community Safety to assist police leaders across Canada in changing the conversations that are taking place, not only internally within our organizations but externally with stakeholders, other police service boards, and with governing agencies that fund police initiatives. ISIS 2012 has presented to the CACP membership a model of policing that will redefine how performance is measured and tip the pendulum from measuring outputs to enhancing the measurement of outcomes."--text from pages 3 and 8.
