The biggest for us is the desire to move forward and engage our partners in our civilian governance on the training aspect. If I may, I'll speak with regard to east region, because our commissioner is coming on Thursday.
But if I can again go with the community engagement mobilization model, in Ontario its relating to much that's been said this morning about engaging everybody in the community to start focusing on local issues that we can address before these get to the point where there's an arrest, a court process, etc. But we need to get everybody trained and engaged in that aspect to make sure they move forward with it. In this region, in the last year, we've started with our governance. We've brought in our police service boards, our local councillors, etc., to try to get them to endorse this and support us moving forward. Some municipalities have.
Somewhat to the point you made earlier about smaller communities versus larger ones, I'll talk just to the region I command. I know three detachments are moving forward heavily with this model. Bancroft has 3,000 people. They have developed a plan with the community engagement model. Everybody's engaged. They're talking about issues they can address and resolve and reduce before they become criminal activities that police need to address. Another community is Quinte West, which has 50,000 people. They are engaged in it. Hawkesbury has 15,000. So I don't believe there's any population limitation to the application of this mindset to get everybody engaged to work toward issues that can be resolved together.
We need to commit to the training piece. For us, it involves bringing in the officers, bringing in partners, etc. We don't have a budget line for it. For us, our priority—as a region anyway—is that we see a huge beneficial outcome afterwards. So we do invest in training, etc., and we develop as we move along.
