Workshop Descriptions:Friday, November 6th (1045 - 1215)

1. Elder Abuse Recognition & Investigative Resources - A Primer for the front line officerA/Sgt Rick Anthony - Oak Bay Police Department

This presentation is designed and presented with the front line patrol officer and other first responders in mind. In so many calls for service the first ones through the door and getting the initial impression of the situation are police officers and paramedics, and quite often if it isn’t clearly a criminal or medical issue, they aren’t always aware of the resources and appropriate agencies to contact with a potential elder abuse case. This presentation illustrates the multiple partner agencies that exist to assist with these tragic and difficult cases where elder abuse is present.

2. Human Trafficking in BC: Coordinating a Response Between Service Providers, Police and Provincial Government Partners Rosalind Currie – Director, BC Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons; Cpl. Jassy Bindra - RCMP BC/Yukon Human Trafficking Coordinator; and panel of community partners

Human trafficking is a global problem and Canada is not immune. Due to the hidden nature of the crime, most human trafficking activities are undetected or unreported. In 2007 BC established the Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons (OCTIP). This panel session will provide an overview of BC’s response to human trafficking and efforts to coordinate between service providers, police and provincial government partners. Resources, supports and services that are available through OCTIP and other panel participants will be reviewed. Participants will learn about the definition of human trafficking including laws in Canada and examples of cases from BC and Canada. Participants will also gain knowledge of human trafficking indicators and how to provide support and services to trafficked persons.

3. Introduction to Civil Forfeiture in BC Phil Tawtel - Civil Forfeiture Office, Ministry of Justice

Since it started in 2006, the Civil Forfeiture Office has forfeited $58 million in property associated to organized criminal activity and has provided $21 million back to communities in BC in the form of crime prevention grants. In this workshop session

participants will learn about the history of the BC Civil Forfeiture office, what property is eligible for forfeiture consideration and how the grant funds are being used. Participants will also be provided with the opportunity to hear about actual forfeiture cases. (This session will be 75 minutes in length)

4. Restorative Justice Conferencing for the CuriousAlix Devlin & Wendy Cahill - Ministry of Children and Families Youth Probation Officers Restorative Youth Justice Conference Facilitators

Crime hurts everyone - the victim, the perpetrator, families, friends and the community at large. That thinking underscores the work of the Ministry of Children and Family Development’s (Youth Probation) Restorative Youth Justice Conference Facilitators. The Youth Criminal Justice Act (2003) mandates conferencing as an approach designed to bring together a young offender and the person(s) harmed, their respective families and supporters, and other people affected by the harm with the goal of finding a mutually beneficial resolution.

5. Be a Leader – Be a Team Player – The VPD Cadet Program

Being a teenager in today’s world isn’t easy. Teens have to constantly make decisions that could affect them their entire lives – and sometimes it may be difficult figuring out which way to turn. This workshop session will showcase the VPD Cadet Program, highlighting how the program provides high school students who are up for the challenge the skills to become tomorrow’s leaders. Workshop participants will hear from current VPD Cadets about the activities they participate in and how this program has personally impacted them.

Friday, November 6th (1315 - 1445)6. BCCPA Abuse of Older Adults Awareness and

ResponseJanine Aussem - BC Crime Prevention Association

The inability to detect and promptly respond to abuse and neglect of older adults is well documented. This has been attributed to multiple factors including: a poor understanding of what constitutes abuse and neglect; a reluctance to report suspected elder abuse or neglect, an unawareness of who to


Workshop Descriptions cont...:

report to; and finally a lack of understanding of policies and procedures and resources available. This workshop will provide participants with an overview of types of abuse experienced by older adults, indicators of abuse, how to assist older adults who are being abused and resources available.

7. Counterfeit Detection TrainingSabrina Cordeiro & Farid Salji - Bank of Canada

As the sole issuer of genuine currency in Canada, the Bank of Canada is responsible for issuing quality bank notes that are readily accepted and secure against counterfeiting. The RCMP and the Bank of Canada work closely together to inform the public on bank note security features. This presentation will focus on the new polymer bank notes, counterfeiting trends, security features of Canadian and US bank notes, and how to prevent counterfeiting.

8. iPatrol+ AppCst. Blake Chersinoff - Vancouver Police Department

Did you know there is an app to assist you in your community policing activities? Cst. Chersinoff will provide an overview of the iPatrol+ App, a free app on the App Store that is designed to assist and record the activities of community policing volunteers while on patrol in their communities. This presentation will also discuss how the app was created and provide a case study highlighting the features of the app and how community policing groups will benefit from its use.

9. We Get the Message - Changing the way Transit Police engage and respondSgt. Wendy Hawthorne & Carolyn Baldridge - Transit Police

It is widely accepted that fewer than 10 percent of victims of sexual assault or unwanted incidents of a sexual nature are reported to police. To address this important issue, the Transit Police embarked on the See Something, Say Something campaign to raise public awareness about sexual assault and harassment on transit. This presentation will review the innovative initiatives that Transit Police took to encourage reporting, educate and empower the public.

10. “When Words Fail” Sgt. Kevin Bracewell - North Vancouver RCMP

Sgt. Bracewell will present tactical communication tips, for front line staff and volunteers, that can both be used in the office and out in the community. Participants will gain skills to assist in defusing a verbal confrontation and to prevent it turning into a physical altercation. Sgt. Bracewell will also provide an overview of “Why we do What we do” and insight into our inherent make up that triggers our response to conflict.

11. Exploring the World of Mental Health and StigmaAndrea Paquette - Bipolar Disorder Society of British Columbia - Bipolar Babes Project

Using her personal journey of living with a mental illness Ms Paquette will offer an accessible approach to discussing the topic of mental health. This is not a how to address a crisis workshop, but will explore a number of tools that may prove helpful in enforcement work. This workshop will contain interactive elements and Ms. Paquette will provide participants with a sense of encouragement and a new perspective on mental health.

12. NASKARZ a Turning PointSgt. Tim Houchen - Vancouver Police Department Alex Vasiljevic - Raycam Community Centre

The NASKARZ Program was just an idea 10 years ago. Kids were stealing cars on a daily basis — some as many as five a night. They would be arrested and some would be bitten by a police dog. The situation looked like it was only going to get worse. The divide between youth and the police would grow with every arrest. In this workshop participants will learn about the NASKARZ Program and leave with an understanding of the challenges and unique situations that have fostered good relationship and sense of community.

13. Little Warriors Prevent It! Michael Collins - Little Warriors Facilitator

This workshop is brought to you by Little Warriors, a national charitable organization, committed to the awareness, prevention, and treatment of child sexual abuse. Talking with children about child sexual abuse is a critical step in reducing their vulnerability. Through this workshop session, participants will gain knowledge to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse. Participants will learn about child sexual abuse, how to talk to children about sexual abuse, learn about concerning signs to watch for in both children and other adults, along with ways to take action to help stop child sexual abuse.

14. Protect our Seniors from Social Media ScamsDanielle Primrose & Jeanette Jackson - Better Business Bureau

More and more seniors every day are using the Internet and learning to stay connected with loved ones through popular social media sites like Facebook. There is a downside, however, because as we age we become more trusting. This opens many seniors up to a host of social media scam artists who will stop at nothing to steal their life savings. This session will provide participants with insight into why seniors represent a vulnerable group in the online world along with scams targeting this demographic.
