When a support payor is arrested on this type of warrant, the person may be taken to the family court, or if the court is not
sitting, brought before a Justice of the Peace as soon as possible to be dealt with according to law
The FRO Warrant unit may be contacted to assist in determining the appropriate court return date to be noted on the

Guidelines for Divisional Crime Management
Status: Amended Issued: R.O. 2020.01.03–0001 Replaces: R.O. 2016.02.08-0158
There are four key steps in establishing the Crime Management Process at the divisional level. Their purpose is to ensure
a high level of integration, co–ordination and focus of divisional resources:
1. Long–term strategic planning and evaluation to set direction for the division
Unit Commanders must designate a divisional Crime Manager.
Depending on the unit size, this person should be at a minimum, the Detective Sergeant in charge of the Detective
Office. In those divisions where there is only one Detective Sergeant, efforts should be made to divest them of
administrative duties, so that they can adequately perform their role as Crime Managers.
The divisional Crime Manager will chair the divisional Crime Management Team, which will include
representatives from all sections of the unit, including the Unit Commander and representation from the local
Community Police Liaison Committee (CPLC).
The divisional Crime Management Team must meet, at a minimum, quarterly starting at the first of the year to
establish the crime priorities and strategies for the unit.
Divisional strategies will be based on Service priorities and identified crime management problems. Evolving local
or neighbourhood problems and other strategies approved by the Chief and Command may be added.
The Crime Manager will be responsible for the internal and external communication of divisional crime
management strategies and results.
The measurement process should include a frequent survey of officers on crime management issues to assist in
setting divisional priorities.
The divisional Crime Analyst will provide the Profile Sheet and appropriate additional data to the Crime
Management Team who will review, measure and evaluate strategies.
Special information (i.e. suspect information, problem areas, etc.), will be catalogued and regularly provided to all
members of the division by the divisional Crime Analyst.
The Unit Commander will establish a mechanism to facilitate community input and provide feedback on results to
the community on crime related issues.
2. Short–term/daily tactical planning and evaluation to adjust and react as required
Principal members of the Crime Management Team will meet regularly.
Ongoing monitoring of divisional strategies, priorities, tactics and making mid–course corrections.
Implementation of short–term decisions and tactical deployment plans.
Internal and external communication of short–term strategies and results.
Project co–ordination and integration.
Validation and prioritization of concerns.
Local intelligence information on crime, active criminals and public disorder to be co–ordinated through the
divisional Crime Analyst/Crime Management Team.
3. Integrated Role for Divisional CPLCs
Divisional CPLCs will be partners involved in the crime management process and will assist the problem
identification, problem solving and evaluation systems. The measurement process will include surveys of the
community.
4. Targeted Debriefing of All Prisoners
Where practicable, persons in custody will be debriefed as to information they may provide on any of the crime
problems set as a divisional priority.
The duties of a police officer are set out in subsection 42(1) of the Police Services Act (PSA). These are

Post Incident Firearms Exposure Session
Review
Post incident firearms exposure sessions are individual sessions involving firearm exercises undertaken with a qualified
firearms instructor. These sessions do NOT consist of a qualification standard. Rather, post incident firearms exposure
sessions consist of a course of fire intended to be educational, to provide reassurance, and to promote officers’ confidence
with their firearm. Post incident firearms exposure sessions at the Toronto Police College are mandatory for officers who
discharge their firearms in the line of duty and officers determined by their unit commander to be directly impacted by the
incident. However, any officer involved in a shooting incident may request to participate in a post incident firearms exposure
session.
Post incident firearms exposure sessions do not apply to the discharge of a firearm for the purpose of dispatching an animal,
unless circumstances suggest otherwise.
The training cadre attached to Specialized Emergency Response – Emergency Task Force (ETF) is comprised of qualified
firearms instructors. Therefore, ETF officers who discharge their firearms in the line of duty, or are determined by their unit
commander to be directly impacted by a shooting incident, have the option of attending a post incident firearms exposure
session with a qualified firearms instructor at the ETF or at the Toronto Police College.
Unit commanders should consult with the supervisor, the officer in charge, the Armament Officer – Toronto Police College
– Armament Section, and a Service Psychologist, as required, when determining officers directly impacted by an officer–
involved shooting incident.
