Inspector Lauren Weare
Officer in Charge
Airdrie/Beiseker, Alberta
Dear Mayor and Council,
Attached you will find the quarterly Community Policing Report that encompasses the July 1st to
September 30th, 2022 reporting period, and will provide you a quarterly snapshot of the human
resources, financial data and crime statistics for Kneehill County. These quarterly reports
contribute greatly to ensuring that the police services provided by the Alberta Royal Canadian
Mounted Police (RCMP) to you, and the citizens you represent, are meeting your needs on an
ongoing basis.
This quarter I want to update you on the status of Body Worn Cameras (BWC), which are set to
be field tested early in 2023 at three different pilot locations in Alberta. A total of 191 cameras
will be distributed amongst front line officers in Grand Prairie, Parkland, and St. Paul
Detachments respectively; the objectives of this Field Test will be as follows:
• Confirm the Contractor is able to deliver the required services as defined within the
SOW (Statement of Work) and Request for Proposal (RFP).
• Provide an early opportunity to get cameras in the hands of 191 frontline officers who
will be the primary users of the BWC and the accompanying Digital Evidence
Management System (DEMS) Service.
• Capture preliminary “lessons-learned” to help refine service delivery processes for full
implementation in Alberta.
Should the top vendor demonstrate they can meet our requirements, the next step will be full
implementation later in 2023. The introduction of body-worn cameras and digital evidence
management service will become a new national standard to enhance public trust, confidence
and public safety. Although preliminary estimates were provided within the 2023/24 to
2027/28 Multi-Year Financial Plan for your community, the field test results may impact the
estimated costs. As details are refined the forecast will be updated and shared with your
community.
11 2022.11.29 Adopted Council Package

Your ongoing engagement and the feedback you provide guides our Detachment team in
responding to the priorities of our citizens. It solidifies our strong community partnership that
supports your Alberta RCMP Detachment in providing flexible and responsive policing services
that reflect the evolving needs of those who we are proud to serve.
As the Chief of Police for your community, please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Inspector Lauren Weare
Officer in Charge

BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL:
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) is an international organization which strives to
advance excellence in government finance by providing best practices, professional development,
resources, and practical research for more than 22,500 members and communities they serve.
The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is designed to encourage and assist local governments to
prepare budget documents of the highest quality that reflect best practice of budgeting, and to recognize
those governments for achieving that goal.
There are over 1,700 participants in the Budget Awards Program throughout North America, and
approximately 15 recipients within Alberta in any given year.
DISCUSSION/OPTIONS/BENEFITS/DISADVANTAGES/OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:
The Distinguished Budget Presentation Award was received by the County for the first time for the 2021
Budget document and has been received for a second time for the 2022 Budget document.
The distinguished budget presentation award represents a significant achievement by the County. It
reflects the commitment of Council and administration to meet the highest principles of governmental
budgeting. In order to receive the budget award, the County had to satisfy internationally recognized
guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity's
budget serves as:
• A policy document
• A financial plan
• An operations guide

• A communications device
Budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories, and in the fourteen mandatory criteria
within those categories, to receive the award.
When a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is granted to an entity, a Certificate of Recognition for
Budget Presentation is also presented to the individual(s) or department designated as being primarily
responsible for having achieved the award. This has been presented to Marika von Mirbach.
FINANCIAL & STAFFING IMPLICATIONS:
There are no staffing implications of receiving this award. Work plans for the upcoming year include
staffing time to ensure the 2023 budget document also meets the criteria in order to submit the document
to GFOA for consideration for the award.

BACKGROUND/PROPOSAL:
As a way to provide good governance, Kneehill County Administration has been actively reviewing the
Bylaw database to ensure the Bylaws that are in place are in order and comply with current legislation.
Kneehill County’s Bylaw database consist of 1958 Bylaws. Upon comprehensive review of the bylaw
database it has been discovered that more than 90 bylaws are obsolete or redundant. Theses bylaws
largely fall into one of four categories:
1. Bylaws that were created for a very specific purpose and once acted upon, have no further effect
or are no longer required;
2. Bylaws that have been superceded by a change in overarching legislation or by another bylaw;
3. Bylaws that were created for a specific purpose or situation that no longer exists; or
4. Bylaws that were created for a specified time period, which has now elapsed.
In the next couple of months, Administration will bring around 10 bylaws per meeting for repealing
Once the review has been completed and the obsolete bylaws have been removed, a four- year review
cycle will be created for the current bylaws, just like we do for our policies we have in place. /

Guest Speaker, Alexander (Sasha) Sergeev, Supply Chain Management, Latest Trends and
Developments.
-Reminded us that products have a network of layers of supplies, from raw materials to finished products.
The complexity has created problems.
-Though there is improvement from pandemic days there are products that will be months or more
before we see changes. Shortages of raw products, weaknesses in transportation, the strict restrictions in China
are contributors.
-“Decoupling Strategies” are resulting as manufactures are experiencing supply issues. Manufacturers are
moving towards building in Canada, USA and Europe. This is also happening as consumers are demanding ethical
practices to be in all layers of the products for the purchase of the product.
- Standards of ethics (child labour, environmental accountability, etc) are going to be recorded and will
follow products. There will be digital data attached to the product that the consumer can access the ethnicity of all
sourced materials used to manufacture the item.

-Digitization will increasingly be utilized in many, many products, ie: fridge will order the food you need,
and it will be delivered automatically.
-Procurement is briskly moving to planning far ahead and the days of ordering as needed is no longer
practical.

Doing Democracy Better; Challenging the Politics of Fear and Resentment
Date: November 18-20, 2022
Overall Highlights:
Keynote, Jared Yates Sexton, shared some excellent points around politics of today. Commonly, we see political
leaders are replacing the crisis at hand with another crisis and not dealing with the symptoms and the issues. We
as voters need to know and demonstrate that we matter and why we matter and vote. We are seeing what he calls
“mass politics” where large groups are activating on one issue in highly polarized, strong messaging which results
in making democracy challenging.
My favorite break out of the weekend was “Rural/Urban Divide and its Impacts on Politics and Democracy”
-Jack Lucas shared his research which focused on democracy and representation in Canadian local governments
as well as urban-rural divides in Canadian politics. He presented graphs that showed where urban and rural
communities sit on the scale measuring right to left values. He notes the gap in differences are much smaller
than either urbans or rural peoples would think.
-Clark Banack shared excellent insights to rural perspectives on topics including Alberta Policing, erosion of
public services, hospital and EMS, property crime etc.; noting that rural communities are very much on the
defensive. A large part of his presentation shared insights he gained by going to community gathering spots in
Alberta small communities and sit and listen. He suggests that all Albertans need to be careful not to assume
what other groups of citizens are about; emphasizing the discontent of rural Albertans needs to be regarded
and a rural lens needs to be applied to policies. Democracy need s the people to focus on what the policies are.
-I have contacted both presenters for their slides and hope to have them to share with the council
at some point.
Many other insights were shared by the presenters including the idea that in order to make affective change
people need to bridge gaps, understand the issues and refrain from assuming far right or far left, use inclusive
language and pay attention to disillusionment of communities.
