New Ottawa Police Service district model to cost taxpayers $11.4M over three years
Article content Maloney said the OPS referenced other community safety frameworks from police jurisdictions in the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom when building their own. Article content He and his team also looked at existing data and talked to academics to make sure the new framework has evidence-based policies, he said. Article content 'We changed our practices. We're returning to that more community-based policing methodology and bringing it and enhancing it, but also infusing it throughout various aspects of the organization,' Maloney added. Article content But Stubbs said this model isn't unique to the OPS. Other Canadian cities, like Vancouver and Toronto, have a similar framework and district model. Article content 'Every big city will have districts and zones and areas. Every single one of them. They don't just tell constables to go police somewhere and hopefully we cover all of the city. There's structure in every city,' the police chief said.
