Mysterious Water Meter Reader

From: Sarah Livermore <sarah.livermore@hotmail.com>

Hello Champlain Park residents:

I would like to pass along information important to Champlain Park residents.

On Monday January 19, 2015: there was a young man walking along Patricia Avenue with some sort of device in his hand. He was going up to people’s houses and appeared to be reading their water meters. He was not wearing anything that indicated he was from either Hydro Ontario or Hydro Ottawa. He was not ringing doorbells of homes either. He was wearing black snow pants, a grey hoodie, and a toque with the colours of the Green Bay Packers. He was Caucasian.

I contacted Const. Dawn Neilly and she advised me that Champlain Park residents should be notified. So, if you should see someone who matches the above description, please contact the police so that they may attend and identify the male at the time, and confirm if he is indeed suspicious or if he is doing a job.

If you could also drop me an e-mail, that way I may keep track of ongoing issues in the neighbourhood.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Sarah Livermore, B.A. (Hons.), M.A.

Consultation on Future deployment of Conducted Energy Weapons (CEWs)

Hello,

My name is Uday Jaswal and I am the Superintendent of the Patrol Directorate at the Ottawa Police Service (OPS).

I am assisting with a review being conducted by the OPS with respect to the current deployment of Conducted Energy Weapons (CEWs), commonly referred to as ‘tasers’.

As part of the review, the OPS is consulting the public and community groups to gain a better understanding of community questions and comments related to CEWs.

We would appreciate your valuable input as it will form part of our review and will help contribute to a report to the Ottawa Police Services Board in the spring of 2014 outlining recommendations for future deployment.

There are several ways by which you can provide your feedback:

Superintendent Uday S. Jaswal

L’éventuel déploiement des pistolets électriques (PÉ) au Service de police d’Ottawa

Bonjour,

Je m’appelle Uday Jaswal et je suis le surintendant de la Direction de la patrouille au Service de police d’Ottawa (SPO).

Je participe à un examen mené par le SPO en ce qui a trait au déploiement actuel des pistolets électriques (PÉ), communément qualifiés de « pistolets Taser ».

Dans le cadre de l’examen, le SPO consulte le public et les groupes communautaires pour améliorer sa compréhension des questions et des commentaires de la collectivité à propos des PÉ.

Nous apprécierions recevoir votre apport inestimable puisqu’il sera partie prenante de notre examen et qu’il alimentera un rapport à l’intention de la Commission de services policiers d’Ottawa au printemps 2014, qui résumera les recommandations sur l’éventuel déploiement.

Il y a plusieurs façons de fournir votre rétroaction :

  • Vous pouvez transmettre vos commentaires par l’intermédiaire de notre questionnaire en ligne. Le questionnaire prend fin le 17 mars 2014.
  • Vous pouvez courrieller un mémoire écrit à cew@ottawapolice.ca.

Pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez visiter www.ottawapolice.ca/cew_fr ou lire notre communiqué.

Cordialement,
Le surintendant Uday S. Jaswal

Car Thieves Warning

Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2013 16:34:59 -0500
From: Glen MacGillivray <dunmaglass@gmail.com>

Hello,

I live at 264 Cowley Ave. Last night we left a door on our car unlocked and someone riffled through the contents of the car over night. It was sitting in out car port. It doesn’t appear that anything was taken, but we did report the incident to the police.

I thought I’d notify the community as well, by way of this email, to ensure others are aware and on the lookout.

Best
Glen MacGillivray
