Annual Reports - Adequacy and Effectiveness of Police Services

The Adequacy Standards Regulation requires that police services boards and police services meet minimum standards for what are adequate and effective police services. This provision is a mandated responsibility of police services boards which includes the developing and adopting of approximately 80 performance standards, a vigorous training program, and an ongoing skills development plan.

As a minimum, these policies require compliance with both the regulation and guidelines and in addition, provide the Board with reports in order to continually assess compliance. The reporting requirements also assist in future budget processes, business plans, and in assessing the needs of the police service on an ongoing basis.
