FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, October 4, 2018      9:00am

(Ottawa) –The Ottawa Police Organized Fraud Unit is warning the community about a recent fraud that has been reported in the Ottawa area.  Employees at businesses, particularly those who are in administrative positions, have been receiving email messages that appear to come from the CEO of their company.  

The emails are asking the employee to purchase prepaid gift cards and to forward the number on the cards back to the supposed CEO.  The employee later finds out that it was not the CEO who has sent the email and that there is no balance remaining on the card.  

Upon closer examination of the original email, it is found not to have come from the CEOs email but from a very similar address that may only differ by one or two letters or by a slightly different domain name. 

The numbers off of the prepaid cards are then sold on the web and usually spent within minutes in foreign countries. 

Businesses are encouraged to maintain strict protocols for ordering and authorizing financial transactions by email.

The Ottawa Police Service Organized Fraud Unit is advising the public that are or have been victims of this scam to contact the Ottawa Police and make a report at 613-236-1222 ext. 7300 or online at ottawapolice.ca.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  Wednesday, November 20, 2019            11:00am 

(Ottawa)—The Ottawa Police Service released the findings of two independent reports that were commissioned by the service to address issues related to equity, diversity and inclusion today.

The Traffic Stop Race Data Collection Project Report II and the Diversity Audit were completed earlier this month and are part of the agenda for the November 25^th Ottawa Police Services Board meeting.

“The reports contain difficult findings, but they also contain opportunities to address systemic barriers and make policing better for everyone – the community and our members,” said Chief Peter Sloly. “Bias, racial profiling, and other forms of discrimination exist in society and that means they can exist in policing. These documents are proof for me that several substantive efforts have been underway to address community and member concerns.”

The Traffic Stop report shows that, while there are modest decreases in the high disproportionate rates since the last report, it also shows high disproportionate rates of Black and Middle Eastern males being stopped.

The Diversity Audit shows that, while OPS is making progress in many areas such as outreach recruitment and Neighbourhood Resource Teams, there is still work to do on leadership and governance, policy, human resource management, promotional processes, and community policing and engagement.

“One of the reasons I came to the Ottawa Police Service was because I recognized OPS as a police leader on equity, diversity and inclusion. These reports provide our Service the information we need to improve,” said Chief Sloly. “This is an organizational responsibility. This community has our commitment that this organization will put in place the changes we need to improve our systems. These are not easy issues to face in any profession and I know that community comments and criticism are felt by frontline police officers first.”

The reports also detail the OPS commitment to develop an action plan with significant inputs that have been gathered from police and community partners.

As part of this work, an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan will be developed with community partners to identify and address bias, underperforming or non-performing systems like HR policies or like the deployment model and improve the felt or lived experience of the community.

“This plan and the change it will bring is as much to help the community as it is to assist our members do their jobs and serve our community in the most effective way possible,” added Chief Sloly. “We are going to continue to strive for professional and equitable policing.  We have to work together to move from reports and recommendations to greater action.  And together we’ll create a plan by January 2020 that measures our progress along the way.”

Three upcoming opportunities to have your say:

1.      Formal delegations will be accepted at the next Police Services Board Meeting on November 25^th. Anyone wishing to speak can do so by registering with Krista Ferraro via Krista.ferraro@ottawa.ca.

2.      Further feedback or input can be provided during the Human Rights Learning Forum on December 4^th. Please register at www.ottawapolice.ca/race.

3.      Contacting Insp. Paul Burnett at edi@ottawapolice.ca by January 2, 2020.

The new Neighbourhood Resource Team (NRT) nabbed a hit and run suspect with the help of Patrol and Traffic officers as well as members of the public.

They were working in Vanier at 12:30 pm Tuesday when a 911 call came in for a hit and run collision on Montreal Rd. A vehicle traveling westbound had turned suddenly in front of an eastbound car and the driver took off before police arrived.

The NRT, along with Traffic and Patrol officers, searched the area and located the suspect vehicle abandoned. Thanks to the help of observant witnesses, NRT officers quickly found the 30-year-old man hiding in a bus shelter and arrested him.

The man is charged with several Highway Traffic Act offences:

• Drive while suspended
• Fail To Remain at the scene of a collision
• Operate a motor vehicle without insurance
• Use plates not authorized for the vehicle
• Driving without a licence

The incident is alarming because the man showed little regard for public safety, not only because he lacked the proper driving documents, but continuing to drive while suspended and in a manner that put other road users at risk.

This is just one of many stories about the new NRT unit, which started working in the city October 21. Not only do they respond to crime in progress, but the teams also actively work to build relationships within their assigned neighbourhoods, with a focus on public safety. For the past month, they have been a visible presence in three assigned areas to respond to local concerns and priority calls when there is an immediate need for police response.

A call to police by a concerned neighbour about a loud argument in the apartment next door resulted in an overwhelmed couple finding new ways to cope.

The call in late October was taken by Sgt. Jeff Simpson, a 20-year vet of the Ottawa Police Service. “First of all, I commend the neighbour who called police immediately so we could deal with it. You never know when a simple argument can escalate into something more serious.”

In speaking to the couple, Sgt. Simpson learned they were sleep-deprived and stressed by the ongoing demands of caring for a sick infant with weekly physiotherapy, occupational therapy and chiropractor visits, in addition to everyday infant care, work pressures and bills to pay.

“It was taking its toll,” he said.

A father himself and a shift worker, Sgt. Simpson understands how hard it can all be. He offered them this advice: “Don’t allow yourselves to be divided by daily obstacles. Always make time for each other and recognize each other’s needs. You’ll be surprised how much easier the other stuff becomes when you make supporting each other your first priority. And your son will benefit most of all.”

A few days later, the woman left a letter for Sgt. Simpson to let him know the impact his words had on their family. “You brought back a sense of hope and peace. Your words have truly changed the manner in which we interact with one another… each day, one lesson and one prayer at a time, we are becoming better versions of ourselves. And it reminded us that it’s okay to ask for help.”

For others struggling, Sgt. Simpson offers similar advice. “Life can be hard no matter what specific problems you have, but it’s easier to face things with support. When you need help, don’t be afraid to ask for it.”
