Ottawa Police Service - Public Information Session on Service Delivery Changes
2017-01-18 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Toronto)
Ottawa Police hosts information sessions on service delivery changes
(Ottawa) – The Ottawa Police Service (OPS) is hosting a series of public information sessions for residents to learn more about changes to its service delivery model.
These changes are part of a strategy called the Service Initiative (SI) Program, which is designed to improve how the OPS serves the community.
At the information sessions, residents will learn about their Community Police Officers, how to access policing services, where to direct concerns about safety in their neighbourhood, and more.
Three sessions are being hosted across the city. Spaces are limited (100 spots per session) so residents are asked to register online, starting today.

A number of changes have already been made to the OPS service delivery model – such as a new organizational structure for investigative units and the Strategic Operations Centre, a hub for frontline, day-to-day operations and acts as a virtual back-up for officers on the road.
Effective January 23, 2017, the OPS will be launching the last of the major SI restructurings, the new Frontline Deployment Model, which is aimed at improving community safety by making it easier to move resources across the city to where they are needed. The new model will also have more streamlined processes for partners and the public to access services.

2017-03-22 18:30 - 20:30 | Alexander Community Centre, 960 Silver Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Project Information

A community is made up of lots of things – people, streets, buildings, parks, businesses and so much more. There’s always room to make communities better over time, with careful planning and participation from people who live there.
You are invited to participate in two studies happening in your community in 2017. The outcomes of both will affect how Merivale Road looks and functions in the future.

The Community Design Plan will review the current zoning of land, consider a range of economic development incentives and create a complete street design to improve walking, cycling and streetscape.
The Transit Priority Measures study will review ways to improve bus transit services.

The CDP study area map focuses on the street and properties that front Merivale Road, as well as some properties that are on adjacent side streets.
