Policies or Program
- CAPG is carrying on discussions with Minister of Public Safety and others about Mental Health Strategy for the escalation of police response to mental health related calls and the impact it has on police resources and local government budgets.
- CAPG participates with department and ministry staff in discussions on First Nations Policing, including governance and funding.
- Economics of Policing. Canadian Association of Police Governance (CAPG) is liaising with Public Safety staff and continues ongoing discussions with Ministry staff on advancing the Shared Forward Agenda on the Economics of Policing. CAPG participates regularly on the Shared Forward Agenda Committee with the Assistant Deputy Minister Kathy Thompson.
- National Training for Police Governance Bodies- CAPG will be asking Public Safety Canada's advice on ensuring common standards across the country. Police Act legislation is either unclear, inconsistent, or non-existent regarding the training of police board/commission members. Where such training exists, it has been identified as insufficient, out-of-date, or
inaccessible. Police boards/commissions across Canada are often under-resourced, with accessible, cohesive, evidence based
training consistently being identified as a gap in addressing effective governance and oversight of municipal police services.
