CACP Special Purpose Committee - Governance
At the Annual Conference in Edmonton, co-chairs of the Special Purpose Committee on Governance A/Comm. Peter German and Chief Dale McFee proposed a new CACP Governance Model. The model reduces the Executive from 9 to 6 and the Board from 21 to 19. All Directors would be appointed by Provincial Chiefs of Police Associations, and once elected, the Provincial Directors to appoint from within, three VP's, one representing the RCMP. Only the President and Secretary Treasurer are to be elected by the membership. The co-chairs and the members of this Special Purpose Committee are seeking views and opinions on the proposed Governance Model and/or recommendations. The committee's next report is scheduled for Dec. 8, 2010.
CACP Nomination and Election Process
The President of the CACP has tasked the Special Purpose Committee on Governance to review the nomination and election process and make recommendations. At the Edmonton conference, it was suggested that in March of each year the President identifies an Election Commissions consisting of three members of the Board. The Commissions responsibility is to present a slate of Directors to the CACP membership.
Recommended nominations procedures are as follows:
· May 1st Election Commissions will call for a slate of candidates by
seeking nominations for available director positions.
· For Provincial Director positions, the committee will consult with the respective President of the Provincial Chiefs Association seeking nominations for that position.
· The proposed slate of candidates will be circulated to all voting members no later than June 1st prior to the CACP Association's AGM.
· Additional nominations signed by two voting members, may be submitted to the Election Commission no later than June 30th prior to the Association's AGM.
· The proposed slate of candidates and the names of any other nominated members will be circulated to all voting members by July 15th prior to the Association's AGM.
· There will be no nominations received from the floor during the AGM.
The Special Purpose Committee also suggested that in regards to the election process:
· One vote per member
· No proxy voting
· Life Members may vote at conference
· No right to vote for Associate Members
· Reschedule AGM to Monday of Annual Conference
Views, opinions and suggestions are welcome.
CACP Regional Workshop
As directed by the President, the Executive Director is working to re-establish Regional Executive Forums for CACP members. Peter Cuthbert has met with the Director of CPC, C/Supt. Cal Corley and the Executive Director of the Policing Sector Council, Geoff Gruson to identify potential topics and develop sub-themes to the workshops. One topic being seriously considered is "Police Leadership During Difficult Economic Times".
The two day 2011 spring workshops would travel the country within a three week period. Logistical arrangements, agendas and speakers have yet to be determined.
CACP Block Membership
One of Chief Blair's priorities is the introduction of Block Membership within the CACP. The Executive Director has been requested to submit his report and recommendations at the Dec. 8, 2010 Board meeting. As of this date there are 431 active members in the CACP. There is a potential of 1600 plus senior officers that the CACP needs to reach out to. One recommendation being considered is that for a Police Service to be eligible for Block Membership they must register the Chief, D/Chief and Superintendents at the full active membership rate and all other senior officers within the service would pay a half rate. Views and opinions are welcome.
President's Council on Strategic Direction #2
Chief William Blair has requested the Executive Director to invite members of the Board, Committee Chairs and Project Leaders, and Presidents of Provincial Chiefs of Police Associations to a meeting on January 12-13, 2011 in Toronto. The purpose of this meeting is to:

Government Relations
By Timothy M. Smith,
Government Relations and Communications
A number of communications have been sent to each of our members with regards to initiatives both by the CACP and Government of Canada which effect law enforcement. These include:
Given that government is not well represented and engaged in CACP committee activity, my current focus has to been to create avenues to re-develop the relationship with government and develop greater collaboration and the sharing of information between our organizations as we move forward. To this end, I have met with officials both within the Department of Justice and Public Safety Canada, at both the political and departmental levels, to begin developing the lines of communication.
During the next few months, my focus will be on working with committee representatives to create further discussion with government regarding interoperability, lawful access, emergency management and drug abuse. In addition, we will be adding a Government Relations page to the CACP web-site to allow each of you greater access to the material I have been working on.
