GUELPH – Guelph Police is one of six Ontario police services using a new provincial tool aimed at monitoring and sharing information about individuals on bail for firearms-related offences.
The new Provincial Bail Compliance Dashboard is managed by the OPP.
Other participating services include the Waterloo Regional Police, York Regional Police, Peel Regional Police, and the Toronto Police Service.
“The Guelph Police Service has embraced this new Provincial initiative to better protect the City of Guelph from those considered a potential risk to community safety,” said Deputy Police Chief Daryl Goetz in a news release.
The online dashboard provides map-based, near real-time critical information about charged persons released on bail for firearms-related offences.
Police say this new strategy permits the police to ensure those released on serious firearm-related offences are complying with their bail terms. If they are not, they are either charged or apprehended.
In Guelph this would include those charged by the Guelph Police Service as well as those charged by other services but living in Guelph.
