Policing Environment 2005
Police Sector Council

Since the release of Strategic Human Resources Analysis of Public Policing in Canad, the initial 2000 Study, much has happened domestically and internationally to affect the Canadian police community. To gain an accurate picture of the current environment, and to lay a strong foundation for the work of the Council, the PSC conducted the 2005 scan. Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) funded the research.

Through the 2005 scan, the Council presents important findings:
• key demographic info about the workforce in general and policing in particular;
• labour market projections including representation in employment equity groups;
• operational and public policy issues such as private vs. public policing;
• federal/provincial authorities, governance and oversight;
• describing the use of technology such as e-learning.

Strategic Human Resources Analysis of Public Policing in Canada
Police Sector Council, 2000

The Strategic Human Resources Analysis of Public Policing in Canada is the product of consultations with more than 700 individuals from every constituent group within the Canadian police sector. This 2000 study was funded through a cost shared contribution agreement between the police sector and Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC).

The study was led by a Steering Committee made up of leaders representing police services, training institutions, police boards, municipalities, police associations, unions and government departments. The Committee generated a total of 26 recommendations under 5 main priorities:

• attracting the next generation of talent for policing organizations;
• increasing sector-wide efficiencies;
• improving the sector's human resource planning capacity;
• improving labour-management relations; and
• increasing funding and resources.

One of its key recommendations was the formation of a Police Sector Council which held its first Board of Directors meeting on June 30th, 2005. Click below for a downloadable version of either the Executive Summary or the full report.
