The Brockville Police Service is issuing this information and public advisory after careful consideration of all related issues, including privacy concerns, in the belief that it is clearly in the public interest to inform members of the community of the release of SOUCY.

This public safety advisory has been issued under the authority of Regulation 265/98 of the Police Services Act, which allows for disclosure of personal information about an individual if it is reasonably believed that the individual poses a significant risk of harm to other persons or property and believes that such disclosure would reduce that risk.

Community Survey

Essential to the long-term growth of the Brockville Police Service is a strategic plan that establishes a vision for the future and a set of measurable goals and objectives to help guide decisions on priority actions. As we look ahead, we are developing such a vision – one that builds on the success of our previous plan. The new vision will establish a set of commitments that align with our mission and values and clearly articulate our aspirations as a police service.

I write today to advise that Consilium Public Sector Services has been appointed to lead the planning effort.  This is your opportunity to provide input towards guiding the Brockville Police Service to better serve your needs.  Please scan the QR code below or follow this link to participate in our survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F6ZTMRT
