4 Public Safety and Policing Committee June 26, 2017 E. ACTIONS / OLD BUSINESS: E.1) Review Action List - Did not discuss. F. REPORTS: F.1) Quesnel R.C.M.P. Detachment - Review of Finalized R.C.M.P. Annual Performance Plan and Quesnel Detachment Performance Plan - Staff Sergeant Burton to Discuss Committee discussed the Quesnel R.C.M.P. Detachment's Annual Performance Plan in general and, specially, the mental health related response call inefficiencies from Northern Health's Quesnel Unit for Emergency Short Stay Treatment ("QUESST") to the Quesnel R.C.M.P. The challenge is having a physician sign-off before the Quesnel R.C.M.P. may leave the scene at QUESST as per Section 28 of the Mental Health Act which states: "Emergency procedures 28 (1) A police officer or constable may apprehend and immediately take a person to a physician for examination if satisfied from personal observations, or information received, that the person (a) is acting in a manner likely to endanger that person's own safety or the safety of others, and (b) is apparently a person with a mental disorder." Further, that Northern Health may want to consider hiring a security guard, instead of calling the Quesnel R.C.M.P. to QUESST, so that the Quesnel R.C.M.P. won't be required to remain on the scene while the nurse administers medicine and/or food to the mental health patient. Mayor Simpson advised that work is currently underway in putting together a mental health and additions committee. This committee will bring the community's mental health and additions stakeholders together to discuss the mental health and addictions needs of the Quesnel area. ACTION: Mayor Simpson to speak with the GR Baker Hospital's Chief of Staff to see if there is a way to expedite the required physician sign-off for mental health patients at QUESST so that the R.C.M.P. can then efficiently leave the scene at QUESST; AND if Northern Health has the capacity to maintain the safety of nursing staff during a mental health incident at QUESST with Northern Health employees to avoid the Quesnel R.C.M.P. being called to attend the scene for these routine mental health incidents at QUESST. F.2) Terms of Reference - Review Updated Draft - Mayor Simpson to Discuss Group discussed the draft Terms of Reference and made the following revision by adding a clause that reads: Adopt Meeting Minutes of June 26, 2017 Page 4 of 9 2
