Policies or Program
- Economics of Policing
Public Safety Canada has begun a process (starting with the recent Economics of Policing Summit) to increase awareness of the challenges and opportunities facing policing, provide practical information on improving efficiency and effectiveness, and strengthen the foundation for innovation and reform in Canadian policing.
The Summit on the Economics of Policing is but one step on a longer journey toward increased efficiency and effectiveness of policing in Canada. At their meeting in Regina on October 31, 2012, federal, provincial and territorial Ministers agreed that a key outcome for the Summit will be to lay the foundation for the development of a shared forward agenda for policing in Canada.
Following the Summit, consultations with key stakeholders will take place through the spring and summer of 2013 to build on the Summit’s outcomes and collaboratively develop a strategy for Ministers’ consideration in fall 2013. Such a strategy will strive to strengthen Canada’s policing advantage in order to ensure that policing in Canada remains sustainable now and in the future.
