Note from Assistant Commissioner Gary Forbes

Reference to our discussions and study session.

We are in the process of examining a number of initiatives that have been surfaced by our people. For your group it would be interesting to see if there are any areas they feel we should address. If there is, we could look at those as well.

For us we are currently looking at:

1. A strategic Communication Plan.... A better way of providing information in a timely fashion.
2. Municipal Traffic - Can they work together and how...what about street racing?
3. Training.....how many trainers.....how do we improve the process....understanding the cost associated with training.
4. A strategic Staffing initiative for the LMD. With all the pressures of the Federal and specialized sections....how do we ensure the front line is properly resourced.
5. Financial accountability....each municipality and E Div, HQ Ottawa, all have people responsible for this....is there a seamless approach?
6. Area Commanders....how would they function.

If any OCDP Candidate is interested in getting involved, I am available to discuss and of these or other topics if someone wants to jump in to help. Certainly, the experience they would obtain from a corporate perspective would to great.

take care gary
