Board Meeting Highlights - March 23, 2022


Community Safety and Well-Being Plan

York Region Director of Strategies and Partnerships provided an update on the development of the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan for York Region. The Plan,  developed in collaboration with York Regional Police and York Region, identifies and prioritizes risks, and contains strategies to reduce the incidence and severity of harm and victimization.  It includes key features and objectives such as supporting and enhancing safety and well-being through preventative, targeted and community-driven actions. Research and engagement with partners have been underway since 2018 and includes York Regional Police, local municipalities, school boards, community partners and residents. The Plan will be presented to Regional Council at its May 2022 meeting for approval. Update on the Development of the Community Safety and Well-Being Plan for York Region

Missing Persons Report

The Missing Persons Report provides an overview of reporting requirements under the Missing Persons Act, 2018 and details any urgent demands made under the Act by York Regional Police.  The government enacted the Act in July 2019 to provide police with additional resources and options when an individual goes missing, and there is no evidence of criminal activity. York Regional Police investigated 1,325 missing persons reports in 2021 which represents a 5.6 percent increase compared to 2020. The Police Services Board posts this report publicly, and it can be located under Missing Persons on the Annual Reports page of its website.
