Summary
"The changing society and increasingly complex situations
the SPVM is facing nevertheless indicate a need for an overhaul
of the neighbourhood policing model, which is still the
cornerstone of SPVM actions, in order to increase the
strength and independence of the neighbourhood stations
and reinforce the integrated public security offer over the
territory. These changes will give the PDQs the means they
need to act and fully actualize the neighbourhood policing
model.
Redesigning the PDQs will pave the way for coordinated
and strategic intervention to resolve existing problems. The
PDQs remain anchored in their neighbourhoods, but their
service offer is more in tune with the boroughs and connected
cities, and they benefit from more neighbourhood
officers devoted to proactive action and problem solving.
Effective and reassuring police visibility in an integrated
approach is also improved. There is more emphasis on and
opportunity for direct and regular contact with the citizens
of Greater Montréal."--Text from Conclusion.
