Résumé
"On October 24th, 2012 the Ontario Ombudsman released his report “‘In the Line of Duty’: Investigation into how the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ministry of Community
Safety and Correctional Services have addressed operational stress injuries affecting police officers”.
A total of 34 recommendations were made, 28 of which were directed toward the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). The remaining six were directed toward the Ministry.
The OPP established an Operational Stress Injury (OSI) Working Group led by a Senior Officer, to conduct an in-depth review of all recommendations in order to identify and
research opportunities to enhance or develop response services, programs, awareness and educational initiatives within the OPP. The OPP concurs with the Ontario
Ombudsman’s definition of an OSI as: “any persistent psychological difficulty that police personnel experience as a result of operational duties including but not limited to:
depression, anxiety, addictions, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).”
Below are the 28 recommendations proposed by the Ontario Ombudsman to the OPP and the corresponding responses. Beside each recommendation is a note on the status of
the recommendation"--text from Introduction.
