SE New head of Calgary Police Commission outlines plans Lucie Edwardson Metro |Calgary The man who now sits at the head of the Calgary Police Com- mission table says he's ready to help lead the Calgary Police Service through their current challenges. Brian Thiessen, the new CPC chair, is a lawyer and a partner at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP. Thiessen's work focuses on em: ployment and labour issues, in ‘cluding employment arrange ments, workplace investigations, privacy law matters, employment disputes, and human rights com- plaints Ina sitdown interview with Metro, Thiessen talked about how he plans to lead the CPC in their efforts to support Chief Roger Chaffin through issues in the force such as workplace bullying and harassment, mak- ing changes to the Police Act and conducting a review into the increased number of officer involved shootings in 2016. WORKPLACE CULTURE In 2016 the Calgary Police Service (CPS) found themselves under a microscope after a 2013 internal audit came to light ind cating issues of bullying and ha- rassment within the force — something Thiessen is already addressing with the CPC and CPS executive, Brian Thiessen, the newly appointed chair of the Calgary Police Commission, hopes his expertise in workplace law and human rights complaints will help him lead the CPC. cuzaucm cameron /roRMerRO “The starting point is there has to be an independent ob- jective person that can take in complaints,” he said. “If you're a member of a minority group, have gender issue, whatever your issue is, you have to have the ability to go to an independent “objective person on an anonym- ‘ous basis as possible, be able to complain” At the last CPC meeting, Thiessen and the commission presented a seven-point plan to the CPS which includes hiringan independent third party to be in that position, as well as having an extemal expert address rec ommendations from the 2013 review, and offering training to all members in consultation with the Calgary Police Association, ‘on the promotion of job place. ment policies and humansights ‘accommodation policy. “That's an example of the strategic direction we want the PS to take and goal posts we're going to measure them by,” he said. “That allows us to influence ‘what they do. POLICE ACT In 2016 Chaffin raised num- erous concerns about the police act and the limits it puts on a chief or service and how they deal with specific issues One such issue was raised when it came to light a CPS member had been on paid sus pension for nearly eight years, raking in around 800K during his suspension, Thiessen said he believes the ‘commission plays role in help- ing the chief raise his concerns and helping to push for reforms to the act. “There are four bodies that play a role in reforming the po- lice act, most importantly the province because it's provincial legislation,” he said. “Lknow they're interested in reforming it, but it’s a massive undertaking” Thiessen said the statute is very dated, and ina perfect world there would be a total overhaul, but until that time he said they will help the chief pinpoint issues (such as paid suspensions) “There are specific clauses in the police act that we can nar- row down to what effectively allows us to deal with employee issues,” he said, “So what we're working on is bringing forward a small suite of changes to the act that we can bring forward to the Minister of justice.” OFFICER-INVOLVED ‘SHOOTINGS: Over the course of 2016 there ‘were 10 officerinvolved shoot- ings in Calgary — something that has caused alarm and raised questions for citizens Further, the investigative body in charge of looking into these cases, ASIRT, often takes a year or more to complete their i vestigation — leaving the off cers involved and citizens in the lurch, wondering if the actions ‘were appropriate Thiessen said ASIRT's role is to get down to the nitty-gritty of individual issues — which takes some time—which allows the commission not to focus on each complaint until they have the facts “That's really important so that we don't have a knee jerk reaction.” he said, “ASIRT does theirjob, and then itcomes back tous, but the good thing that Chief Chaffin is do- ing is that he isn't waiting for ASIRT to be done until he does something” ‘Thiessen said the chief has re- quested an independent review of the service on their practices ‘and policies regarding officer- involved shootings. “For the commission, that is something we can be involved in,” he said." ‘The chief has spoken with us about itand the justice Minister ‘about it, and anything we can do to help him get that review, ‘we will do” Thiessen said CPS is in the midst of finding somebody (maybe a judge or a university) to conduct the review, and said he expects CPS to update on that process at the CPC meeting later this month.
