Since 2018, submissions of federal regulatory proposals have required an analysis of baseline social impact compared with a regulatory future state. Proposals require the calculation of evidence on net benefits prospectively or to estimate results if a policy were adopted. Proposals are also intended to evaluate consequences and trade-offs, foster transparency to the public and facilitate evidence-based decision making. The challenge to policing is how to bring these complex federal social impact models to local decision-makers.
researchers understand the economic and social impacts of crime and to help identify the impact of strategies for preventing and reducing crime. It uses seven major crime types (or shadow prices) to calculate the social impact for U.S. jurisdictions. Back-testing using York Regional Police’s 2021 actual crime data, the RAND tool estimated the social impact of crime in the York region at $1.2
billion based on the seven crime types. This statistic, however, differs significantly from the social impact of $2.7 billion, calculated using the Fraser Institute estimates and prorated to York region’s population. Although it’s useful to show a range
of potential outcomes using different methods, an ideal tool would incorporate
regional crime rates as well as local social impact.

more comprehensive studies and multiple costing methodologies.

Leading in a Post-COVID World
Law enforcement professionals play a unique role in our society. Our police members are obviously counted on to ensure the safety and well-being of anyone who makes ontario their home or visits our province for business or pleasure. But to accomplish this, we need police professionals who are able to discern social or other underlying challenges in our communities and adapt the delivery of policing services to meet the community’s safety expectations.

What We Can Learn in Policing from Wildfires
I had trouble figuring out where to begin this year’s renewed version of the Police Leadership Program. The challenge was too many options. The leadership issues in policing today range all the way, for example, from community mental health to organizational budgeting to technical skill development.

The Complexity of Police Leadership
Yet leadership effectiveness is, simply put, about people understanding people. It is a skillset that can be learned, and that depends quite simply on leaders investing in themselves. With social-scientific discoveries, self-awareness, and powers of observation and communication, leaders can pull others together around a common goal. Among others, the below three skill sets help to get you there:

Countering Incivility, Harassment, and Discrimination in Policing
Creating a workplace environment that is inclusive, respectful, and free from harassment and discrimination is an ongoing priority for ontario police services. However, services face systemic challenges in their efforts to prevent these negative behaviours, effectively address them, and change their culture.

The Leadership Imperative: Leader development in Ontario
Modern policing is complex. Whether mediating a dispute or managing a crisis, it’s a job that not only requires a deep understanding of the law and society, but also the ability to lead with confidence and compassion.

THE FUTURE OF LEADERSHIP IN POLICING
Under the leadership of Chief Jim MacSween, the executive leadership team at York Regional Police (YRP) established a mission to re-imagine leadership development within the organization. YRP knew that standardizing leadership principles and delivering them to all ranks of the organization would enrich the development of ethical and professional leaders.

Connect, Lead, Inspire
As policing leaders, there are key elements to consider when it comes to developing outstanding organizations. Opening conference keynote presenter Tanya McCready of the Winterdance Dogsled Tour and author of Journey of 1000 Miles opened the conference with a timely message: time, dedication, trust, and practice are key elements to leadership, as well as ensuring that leaders know their team and where they thrive best.
