• It is a joint project amongst community partners; to address those in the community
facing the highest need, with Police as one of the champions to move it forward

• The situation table, which forms part of ‘Collaborate Barrie’ is not a new body and does not
keep any case-records, and only tracks de-identified data on risks and situations for the
purposes of identifying opportunities for systemic change
“We do other peoples jobs poorly but
together we can do all jobs well”
10. Recognition of the Model
This innovative, collaborative approach to risk-based community safety originated in
Glasgow Scotland with great success.
In the fall of 2010, (then) Prince Albert Saskatchewan Police Chief Dale McFee organized
a group that went overseas to see how they operate and brought the idea back to Prince
Albert.”
This type of mobilization has been gaining national and international recognition since it
began.
Communities across Canada are embracing this type of crime prevention initiative with
great success.
Barrie will be next
11. The Economic Argument
• Police services across the country are seeing the cost of reactive policing is forever
increasing but the impact is not. We know that we need to find new and innovative ways
to achieve results.
• This model:
-uses existing resources.
-requires minimal additional dollars to operate.
-through the collaborative front-end efforts to address issues before they
escalate, reduces demands on the back-end, which can result in enormous
savings down the road.
12. The Economic Argument
In this image, taken from Saskatchewan in 2013, it shows that police are bringing 51%
of the situations to the table, but they are leaving with a lead role in only 10% of those
situations.
13. Recognition of the Model
Across Canada, there are models operating or
starting up in:
BC
Alberta
Saskatchewan
Manitoba
Ontario
New Brunswick
PEI
Nova Scotia, and
Newfoundland
and Labrador.
14. Recognition of the Model
There are several models now in Ontario, in
various stages of operation including:
FOCUS Rexdale
Our Shared Commitment Sudbury
Connectivity Cambridge and Kitchener and
Waterloo
The Guelph Enterprise for Community Safety
and Well-being
Community Mobilization North Bay
Safe Brantford
The City of Ottawa’s MERIT program and now

17. What About Privacy?
• Saskatchewan conducted a year-long study into provincial and federal privacy
policies, and the result of that study confirmed that with a few small adjustments,
the Hub model could continue working within the letter and spirit of existing
regulations.

• Saskatchewan conducted a year-long study into provincial and federal privacy
policies, and the result of that study confirmed that with a few small adjustments,
the Hub model could continue working within the letter and spirit of existing

• In Ontario, to build on those findings, a multi-sector Ontario Working Group also
conducted a lengthy study on existing policies. The widely adopted Four Filter
process, used in these Hub or Situation Table models, has been reviewed by the
OIPC and all signs have been favorable that this approach stands up to the highest
levels of scrutiny.

• In an effort to put the issue to rest for good, both Ontario and Saskatchewan
co-hosted with Public Safety Canada (PSC) a National Policy Makers Dialogue in
January, with the goal of arriving at common practices that will accommodate
federal and all provincial laws, regulations and policies.
