2 SESSION 1 09:00-09:45 An Agency-Wide Approach to Sustaining Professionalism in Policing An agency-wide approach to ethics will depend on the size of the police service. The twelve police agencies in Canada of 1200 sworn members or more will have a much more complex and structured approach than smaller agencies. Larger agencies will need to foster cooperation amongst different areas, e.g. Professional Standards, Training, Human Resources, Career Development, and Communications. Four key programs are also vital to an agency-wide approach: an early intervention program, a Professional Standards internal outreach program, a respectful workplace program, and finally the ethics/professionalism program itself. In this presentation I will focus on larger agencies by discussing the role of the aforementioned areas and programs in sustaining a commitment to professionalism. Dr. Stephen Maguire, Executive Director, Centre on Values and Ethics, Carleton University Inspector Darren Leggatt, Calgary Police Service SESSION 2 09:45-10:30 What Explains Police Willingness to Report Professional Misconduct of Members? In the CACP Professionalism in Policing survey of 10,266 sworn members up to the rank of Staff Sergeant, we were able to identify the most significant programs and practices that are correlated with willingness to report professional misconduct. In a more sophisticated data run building on the differences between the RCMP and municipal agencies in willingness to report we were able to identify, over and above existing differences between the RCMP and municipal agencies, the strongest factors that influence members willingness to report professional misconduct. The results were surprising. Dr. Stephen Maguire, Executive Director, Centre on Values and Ethics, Carleton University Inspector Darren Leggatt, Calgary Police Service Updated on May 5,

3 10:30-11:00 Network Break (Saint-François) SESSION 3 11:00-12:15 Effective & Efficient Policing and Community Trust in 2015 Community, legal, and social expectations of what constitutes Police Professional Standards have evolved considerably over the years as a result of many drivers such as the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, various major events, technological innovations, cultural and demographic shifts, globalisation, and even social media. In this presentation, Chief Blais will look back at some of the developments in this area to determine where the next challenges will lie for policing services. Chief Jean-Michel Blais, M.O.M., Halifax Regional Police Service Superintendent Donald MacLean, Halifax Regional Police Service, Co-Chair, CACP 12:15-13:30 Lunch (Saint-François) SESSION 4 13:30-14:15 The New RCMP Act On November 28th, 2014 the new RCMP Act came into force which resulted in the most significant organizational change to the Force since the mid 1980's. The new Act has resulted in a modernized approach to RCMP administrative processes which includes how it now deals with Conduct matters. A/Cmmr. MacMillan was the chief architect of these reforms and is responsible for overseeing the new RCMP Conduct regime. He will provide an overview of the new Act as it relates to Conduct matters and the institutional impact it will have on the RCMP for years to come.

4 Superintendent John MacDonald, Royal Canadian Mounted Police SESSION 5 14:15-15:00 Integrity Bureau - Service de police de la Ville de Montréal The Security and Integrity Division was created following the different behaviours adopted by some SPVM police officers, which were highly targeted by the media. Those behaviours were linked to security incidents, as well as behaviours that did not correspond to what is expected from police officers, while on duty. The Division is directly linked to ensure the respect of security and integrity rules around information, physical resources, and staff. Furthermore, the Security and Integrity Division adopted a prevention, intervention, and supportive approach to its employees and supervisors around risk behaviours concerning security matters as well as work behaviour. s Chief Inspector Jean-Ernest Célestin, Service de police de la Ville de Montréal Sergeante-détective Christine Brais, Service de police de la Ville de Montréal Inspector Costa Labos, Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, Co-Chair, CACP 15:00-15:30 Network Break (Saint-François) SESSION 6 15:30 16:30 Online Training for Managers: Managing Risky Behaviours and Discipline within Members of the Sûreté du Québec This session will present the context and the challenges related to the development of the online training, as well as to discuss the educational methods used to develop the training program.

6 SESSION 8 09:30-10:30 The Principles of Natural Justice: Avoiding Pitfalls of Not Complying with Natural Justice and the Risks Involved Understanding the Principles of Natural Justice allows for police agencies to create disciplinary regimes which, when followed, will withstand appeals and public scrutiny. Professionalism is a key goal for every agency, and an examination of what constitutes a professional organization is not that they have complaints or internal problems but rather how they handle and resolve those issues. The session will allow for a discussion on case law and the four pillars of natural justice: the judicial function of a hearing process, jurisdiction, procedure including bias, and superior legislation. A brief overview of the use of discretion and trendy issues will be supplemented with tips on how to run a hearing and the key elements of writing a decision after the hearing is concluded. Superintendent John Reid, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (Ret.) Superintendent Donald MacLean, Halifax Regional Police Service, Co-Chair, CACP 10:30-11:00 Network Break (Saint-François) SESSION 9 11:00-12:00 McNeil: Six Years Later First, the contentious nature of police work often leads to public complaints, some legitimate and others spurious. On the other hand, the Crown and the defence both have interest in discovering the existence of an unreliable or unethical police officer. But what happens then to the right to privacy of honest police officers, victims of unfounded denunciations, six years after jurisprudential development following the McNeil decision of the Supreme Court?

7 Inspector Costa Labos, Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, Co-Chair, CACP 12:00-13:15 Lunch (Saint-François) SESSION 10 13:15-14:00 Stay in the Game, New Developments The CPS Stay in the Game program has been a largely successful prevention and education program directed at reducing the number of complaints against its members; targeting the most common complaints from citizens. Since its implementation in 2010, success was achieved, but it was shown to be only temporary in nature. A new iteration of the Stay in Game was developed and released in early 2015, with the intention of making the impact sustainable through the use of an interactive website, videos, blogs, and top to bottom participation by all CPS employees. Darren will endeavor to provide an overview of the program s history and the improvements to date. Inspector Darren Leggatt, Calgary Police Service Inspector Chris Rheaume, Ottawa Police Service SESSION 11 14:00-14:45 Proud to be Peel The Proud To Be Peel campaign was borne out of a desire to develop ways to better look out for one another. Launched in the fall of 2013, the initial focus was to educate employees about the potential damage inflicted to members, their families, and the organization as a whole as a result of police misconduct allegations. Various videos and posters were circulated in an effort to raise awareness about the issue as incidents were on the rise. Updated on May 5,

8 Moving forward, the campaign showcases service excellence while continuing to support employee initiated ideas for positive change such as the addition of the Compliment a PRP Employee portal, to our external PRP website. Prior to the suggestion made by one of our members, our external website offered citizens of our region the opportunity to complain about our services, but offered no alternative to commend members for a job well done. As a result of this valued employee feedback, members of our community regularly utilize the website to praise our employees for the exceptional service they provide. s Superintendent Robert (Rob) Ryan, Peel Regional Police Detective Sergeant Lorie Linale, Peel Regional Police Deputy Chief Dave Jarvis, Peel Regional Police 14:45-15:00 Closing Remarks Updated on May 5,
