Humberto joins the 10-5 Podcast to discuss engaging men and boys to promote gender equality in workplaces and beyond.

In this episode Humberto adresses the following topics:

1. Workplace Gender Based Violence and Harassment:

The impact on staff, workplace culture, and overall organizational well-being are explored.

2. Gender-Based Violence and Harassment in Male-Dominated Sectors:

How these environments often normalize exclusionary cultures, overlook harmful conduct, and reinforce gender norms that heighten risks for women and gender-diverse staff.

3. Best Practices in Addressing Workplace Gender Based Violence and Harassment:

Evidence-based strategies are explored, such as engaging men as allies, strengthening bystander skills, investing in leadership training, addressing power dynamics, and using holistic approaches to prevention.

4. Bystander Intervention:

Fostering a culture of accountability, concrete intervention strategies such as "the 5 Ds", and empowering employees to safely address concerning behaviour early.

5. Workplace Policies: How well-designed, trauma-informed policies support survivors, set clear prevention standards, and reinforce a culture of safety, respect, and inclusion.

6. Insights from White Ribbon’s recent research: White Ribbon recently engaged in discussions with survivors on how male allies can be engaged in supporting them. They spoke to 36 intimate partner violence survivors across a number of discussion groups and in collaboration with a survivor-centred community partner.

Each September  a large gathering of OPP members, veterans and friends witness the dedication ceremony of the newest donated memory stones for that year.

Each day the Pathway of Memories and Milestones is witness to visitors and members making time to reflect on the messages and names inscribed on the stones.

The inscriptions on the memory and milestone stones donated by members, friends and colleagues, reflect expressions of pride, friendships, love and careers… creating lasting memories.

The funds raised are used to provide funding for our support of youth in need across the province.

The site will accommodate more memory and milestone stones for many years to come and we continue to accept donations until June 30, 2025 for new Memory and Milestone Stones that will be installed on the site in the spring of 2025, and inducted at the ceremony at the ceremony on September 8th, 2025.

"Because of the Line of Duty"

Members are deserving of a formal memorial effort that recognizes the positive impact of their lives and legitimizes the grief of those who carry on their memory.

The relentless exposure to on-the-job trauma can significantly impact the mental health of police members.

Establishing a distinct memorial not only dignifies their service but also prompts stakeholders to advocate for comprehensive policies addressing the mental well-being of police members and their families.

Canada Beyond The Blue is committed to ensuring these individuals are never forgotten, and that their names are spoken aloud and meticulously recorded to honour their service and acknowledge their tragic loss.

OPSM pins can be ordered in bulk through the Canada Beyond the Blue website.

Lance joins 10-5 The Official Podcast of the OPP Assocation to discuss his journey. Behind the veneer lies a deeper story of pain, anger, and a lifelong struggle with addiction and mental health. If all those cops, colleagues, clients, and even friends and family could have seen his ugly private truth, they would have detested the monster he’d become.

Lance Valcour has recently published a book with the hope to help other police officers struggling with addiction and mental health. The book is titled If They Only Knew: A Cop's Journey with Addiction and Mental Health. It is an intensely personal story, not only of one man’s demons and depression, but also of a couple’s commitment, courage, and love, of a woman who, faced with her husband’s growing venom, anger, and cruelty, found the inner strength to stand up and say, “No more. This ends today.”

This podcast and the book explores the journey of a man who, faced with this ultimatum, eventually found the strength and courage to admit that he had a problem and needed help. Who, haunted by his own self-loathing, overcame his darkest days to find serenity, peace, and fulfillment.

Michelle joins 10-5 The Official Podcast of the OPP Association to discuss the success of the Dufferin MCRT program and assert her wish for sustainable funding.  

Dufferin County has one of the highest call volumes for mental health calls in Ontario. 

The Dufferin MCRT have not been able to deal with all of the calls due to not having 24/7 coverage. 

The Dufferin MCRT have dealt with 600 calls and made 1539 referrals in the first 11 months of 2024, reducing significantly the number of hospital visits for people experiencing mental health crisis. This not only helps members of the public, it helps to prioritize hospital emergency resources, as well as valuable police resources who traditionally have to remain at hospital with persons apprehended under the Mental Health Act. 

If you wish to contact Michelle or have an idea for future episodes, please email communications@oppa.ca.

The concept of the initiative was stared in mid 2023 and features Indigenous training for Crime Stoppers Call Centre staff including cultural and geographical awareness, a plan to include Indigenous training at Crime Stoppers annual conference for Coordinators & Board members, and translation of Crime Stoppers materials in all local Indigenous languages. 

All of this was accomplished by community visits to discuss how Crime Stoppers works and how it can be customized for Indigenous communities, obtaining permission from Band Councils to engage and get feedback on local issues the Band Council would like addressed, and community tours to see the needs firsthand. 

Indigenous Focus Crime Stoppers began in Big Trout Lake, with training in Thunder Bay, in conjunction with the OPP Indigenous Policing Bureau. 

The ultimate goal is to roll out the program across the province of Ontario with local Crime Stoppers programs engaging fully with the local Indigenous communities. 

To learn more, connect with Sarah through Crime Stoppers Guelph Wellington website.

When MCRT deals with a mental health call, the patient is transported to hospital less than 7% of the time.  If the team does take a patient to hospital, the process is streamlined quickly, freeing up the police officer and nurse team to be available for other calls.

 The nurses working on the team are able to get the patients into the mental health system efficiently, which takes workload off Emergency Room nurses.  In 2023, through the partnership of the MCRT with the local hospital, wait times in the ER have been reduced, despite the number of calls for mental heath rising.

Dilnaz Garda, the President of Canada Beyond the Blue is our guest on 10-5 The Official Podcast of the OPP Association to discuss what the Ontario Police Suicide Memorial is, the significance of the planned annual event, and to welcome Members and their families to RSVP and attend the event.  

For sworn and civilian members attending, the mustering location is in the lot opposite the front steps of the Provincial Legislature at Queen's Park at 10:15am. For Members attending, #1 Dress is encouraged but not mandatory. A full security plan for the event is being managed by the Toronto Police Service.

The OPP Association along with the Police Association of Ontario and the Toronto Police Association have partnered with Canada Beyond the Blue in believing that Members who have died by suicide are deserving of a formal Memorial effort that recognizes the positive impact of their lives and legitimizes the grief of those who carry on their memory.

The relentless exposure to on-the-job trauma can significantly impact the mental health of police members. Establishing a distinct Memorial not only dignifies their service but also prompts stakeholders to advocate for comprehensive policies addressing the mental well-being of police members and their families.

Canada Beyond the Blue is committed to ensuring these individuals are never forgotten, and that their names are spoken aloud and meticulously recorded to honour their service and acknowledge their tragic loss.  

For families of Members who have died by suicide, the criteria and application to have your loved one honoured is posted on the Canada Beyond the Blue website. Please note that the collection of names is an ongoing effort that will continue after the inaugural event.

The episode  is a recap of the 2023 Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund Dancing With The Stars of 911 event held in London, Ontario Saturday October 28th.  

The Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund was created in memory of Provincial Constable Dave Mounsey of the Ontario Provincial Police who was killed in the line of duty in November, 2006.

In 2010 the DMMF held its first Dancing With the Stars event. This event was specific to members of the Ontario Provincial Police and spanned from 2010-2012.  

In 2013, to better represent the mission statement and vision of the Fund in honouring all fallen First Responders and Military persons, Dancing With the Stars of 911 was started.  

Since 2010, over 75 couples have danced at the event and twelve defibrillators have been donated thus far at the gala evening. The dedication and commitment of each dancer is a reminder of their belief in remembrance and their desire to honour those who have made the ultimate sacrifice..  

The year 2023 marked the return of the event after a three year COVID hiatus. This year a defibrillator was donated in honour of Sapper Brian Collier and his family.  

Couple one was Morgan Rolph and Austin Kohler both of the OPP. Couple two were from Middlesex-London Paramedic Services, Christopher Tran-Nguyen and Julie Colgen. Couple three was Lindsay Adamson and Ben Morgan from the OPP. Couple four was Darcy Campbell and Abbigail Boss from the Woodstock Police Service. Couple five was Jade Flay from Middlesex-London Paramedic Service and Layne Lavis from the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary. Couple six was Nick Dorken of the Thames Centre Fire Department and Michelle Marko from Middlesex-London Paramedic Services.  

The couples performed for an audience of approximately 400 at the formal dinner gala.  

The OPPA are honoured to be a Lifetime Donor to the event and thank everyone for their  support in raising over $38,000.00 at this year's event.

Listen to the episode to find out the results of the evening!

Guests are Lisa Hillstrom the now retired Executive Officer Pension and Benefits for OPP Association (served in role 2006-2023)  and Caitlin Fournier, Senior Advisor, Pension and Benefits who joined the OPP Association on May 1, 2023.

The episode follows a question and answer format as follows:

1.  What is a Member’s short term sickness plan (STSP) credit entitlement?

OPP Association members are entitled to 130 STSP credits each calendar year.  The first 6 days are at 100% salary and the balance of 124 days are at 75% salary.  Note:  130 STSP credits are based on 8 hour or 7.25 hour days (depends on the hours of the members position).

2. Can a member use attendance credits to top up the 124 STSP credits covered at 75% salary?

Yes, members have the following options to top-up the 124 STSP credits at 75% salary to 100% salary:

Uniform members – vacation credits, overtime credits and statutory holiday credits.

Civilian members – vacation credits and overtime credits.

3. How does a member qualify or requalify for Short Term Sickness Credits (STSP)?

Uniform members as per Article 7 of the Uniform Collective Agreement.  

Civilian members as per Article 12 of the Civilian Collective Agreement.  

NOTE:  Please refer to the STSP Qualification and Reinstatement chart which is available for members on the OPPA website at oppa.ca. (Login required. If you are member and require a login please email oppa@oppa.ca)

4. What is a sick day?

A sick day is an absence from the workplace when you are unable to perform the duties of your position due to illness or injury; example: If a medical appointment renders a member unable to attend to their duties, i.e. tests that require sedation, anesthetic or a recovery period.

5. What is not a sick day?

Some examples are: Scheduled routine medical appointments (annual medical checkup, dental hygiene, vision examinations, hearing tests, etc.), dependent care issues, weather, transit disruptions/traffic jams, vehicle breakdown, and utility disruption.

6. Do Members continue to contribute to their pension with the PSPP while using STSP credits?

Yes, members will continue to contribute to their pension while using STSP credits. Their pension contributions are made based on their full salary, therefore if the member elects to not top up their 124 STSP credits with available credits, the pension contributions are deducted as if they were paid at full salary.

7. What questions will be asked of a Member who is away from the workplace using their STSP entitlements?

(a) When did they start to be off continuously using their STSP credits. 

(b) Did the Member have 130 STSP credits when they started to be off continuously?

 (c) If the Member used some STSP credits prior to their current continuous absence, do they know how many credits they have available to remain on the payroll. 

(d) Has the Member elected to top-up their STSP credits covered to 75% salary with available credits or not?

(e) If the Member  has been off more than 3 months, have they received an LTIP package from the Ontario Shared Services? 

NOTE: On this episode the provisions of Long Term Income Protection (LTIP) are not discussed, however it is important for members to be aware that there is a 6-month qualification period before LTIP can be approved. If members don’t have enough STSP credits for the full 6-month period, they can remain on the payroll using available vacation, overtime or stat credits or they can request a leave without pay.

Policing can be challenging to maintain a healthy lifestyle.  Sylvie and Rick want to help police officers understand where they are and get where they want to be by creating happy lives and healthy minds. Sylvie went from anger, resentment and despair, amongst many other emotions, to becoming grateful, happy and fulfilled through the help of a friend who helped her refocus.  She will explain how reconnecting with the reason “WHY” she was doing her job caused everything to change.  

When Sylvie and Rick reconnected after 25 years apart, in 2017, Rick was in poor health and 50 pounds overweight.  Rick will explain how he regained his health by taking control of his emotions after going through stress, unhappiness and hopelessness.  He did this using tools he learned in a life coaching course and Sylvie's support.  

Sylvie's co-worker in the recruitment unit took his own life in 2017, and it had a profound impact on her.  She wished she could have done something for him to prevent it.  Since then, she has learned tools and strategies to help people change their lives.  Sylvie describes in the podcast how she is making a difference.

Sylvie and Rick explain the importance of physiology, focus and language by providing examples from their lives and experiences, as well as how our beliefs can affect the decisions we make throughout our lives, limiting our opportunities and our happiness.  

Learn how they learned to understand each other, meet each other's needs, and have a harmonious and loving relationship as they transitioned from their career to retirement. They describe their involvement as a volunteers, traveling, operating an AirBnb, participating in Toastmasters International and continued learning in the areas of growth, development and leadership.    

Sylvie and Rick participated in extensive training for the last eight years, both graduating from Tony Robbins Mastery University, and are continuing their involvement in the program.  They describe how this training has been the foundation of the transformation of their lives.  Along the way, they have learned that the secret to living is giving and decided to help others live their best lives.

The outcome was positive both for Joe and the police officer. Joe credits PC Scott MacLeod with saving his life. Joe feels there needs to be more awareness of positive outcomes between people in mental health crisis and the police and reached out to the OPP Association to help bridge that gap in any way he can. This podcast is the beginning of that outreach to create awareness of the good that police do to defuse situations involving people in mental health crisis.  

Since Joe's mental health crisis, he has since gone on to become a successful CEO and live a productive life. He is passionate about giving back to the community and raising awareness about mental health and homelessness. He was the driving force behind "The Push for Change". Joe began pushing a shopping cart across Canada to raise awareness and dollars to end youth homelessness. This national trek started May 1, 2016, from St. John’s, Newfoundland and ended September 29, 2017 in Vancouver, British Columbia: a 9,064 km, 17-month journey. The shopping cart is a symbol of Joe’s transformation from youth homelessness. It represents the outcome we are trying to avoid for future generations of young people.

OPP Association Director, Rob Jamieson was among the many OPP members and members of the public who walked alongside Joe Roberts on the Push For Change. In this podcast episode Rob interviews Joe about his life changing experience with an OPP officer, when his life challenges began, who inspired him to change, and the Push for Change, an event that Joe is carrying on today with his continued awareness and outreach.

Many of these scams can directly affect our members and their families. Awareness is key to avoid being victimized. A number of resources are available to assist front line officers in fraud investigations on the OPP Connections internal website under the Anti Rackets section. (OPP member access only) 

Det/Cst Armit is also featured on a CBC and BBC podcast series focusing on romance fraud called Love, Janessa, that we feel is also worth a listen. 

Reporting of fraud is encouraged regardless of the scope. For official public info on recent scams visit the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre website. Reporting can be done by phone or online. Click here for information on how to report fraud in Canada.
