Préparatifs de sûreté publique pour la #FêteduCanada 2022: Le Service de police d’Ottawa collabore avec ses partenaires policiers et les organisateurs de la Fête du Canada à la mise en œuvre d’un plan de sûreté publique visant à permettre à tous les Canadiens et aux visiteurs... ..de jouir librement et en sûreté des attraits de la capitale dans le cadre de cette célébration. On s’attend à ce que cette activité de Patrimoine canadien soit d’une plus grande envergure qu’à l’habitude, pour ce qui est de la taille des foules et de l’empreinte de l’événement.

2022 Canada Day Public Safety Planning:

We are working with #CanadaDay organizers and our policing partners to implement a public safety plan that allows all Canadians and visitors to freely and safely enjoy the capital during this celebration. #ottawa #ottnews The expectation is that this Heritage Canada event will be larger than usual both in terms of crowd size and the footprint of the event.

We are also expecting several large events throughout the Ottawa area to celebrate the day.

Mardi, nous avons perdu notre collègue et ami, l’agent Vijayalayan Mathiyalaghan, lors d’une tragique collision hors travail à motocyclette. 1/4 Vijay n’avait que 28 ans. Il était un jeune homme gentil, amical et doux qui faisait honneur au Service et à la collectivité, qu’il servait avec fierté et dévouement. Il avait été embauché comme agent de police en novembre 2020 après avoir servi plusieurs années dans l’armée. 2/4

On Tuesday, we lost our colleague and friend Cst. Vijayalayan Mathiyalaghan in a tragic off-duty motorcycle collision. 1/4 Vijay was just 28-years-old. He was a kind, friendly and gentle young man who was a credit to the Service and to the community he served with pride and dedication. He was hired as a police officer in November 2020 after serving in the military for several years. 2/4

With great sadness, we share that one of our members passed away last evening after a single-vehicle collision. The incident occurred off duty. (1/2) Flags at all of our buildings are half-mast in honour of our friend and colleague. The collision is being investigated by the OPP. (2/2)

Police seeking witnesses to a serious collision on Aviation Parkway ottawapolice.ca/Modules/News/i… #Ottnews

Enquête sur une collision grave, promenade Aviation : on recherche des témoins ottawapolice.ca/Modules/News/i… #Ottnouvelles Yesterday, we responded to a vehicle collision involving a motorcycle. The motorcyclist sustained serious non-life-threatening injuries.

As mentioned above, we are looking for witnesses.

We are currently testing a Dodge Durango Enforcer cruiser until May 4th. Afterwards, we will test a Dodge Charger Enforcer until mid-June.

These tests are part of our due diligence for potential future fleet vehicles. Over the coming days and weeks, you may see this OPS cruiser with a Quebec plate. It has @OttawaPolice markings and is fully functional. It will be driven by uniformed officers.

Mise à jour sur le convoi de cette après-midi : Plus tôt cette semaine, @ottawapolice a été informé qu'une manifestation en véhicule en provenance du Québec avait l'intention de faire un passage symbolique à Ottawa et de se rendre à une destination finale à Vankleek Hill. Un itinéraire restreint (sans arrêt, sans klaxon) a été désigné afin d'accélérer le passage du convoi en tenant compte de la sécurité de la communauté. L'itinéraire a utilisé les routes des camions pour qu'ils continuent de circuler à travers #Ottawa.

Update on afternoon convoy: Earlier this week, @ottawapolice was advised of a vehicle-based demonstration from Quebec intending on making symbolic passage through Ottawa and then proceeding to an end destination in Vankleek Hill. A restricted route (with no stopping or honking) was designated to expedite the safe passage of the convoy with community safety in mind. The route utilized truck routes to keep them rolling through #Ottawa.

Message du chef par intérim Steve Bell à la communauté

#ottnouvelles This past month, the people of Ottawa have faced immense disruptions, fear, and uncertainty due to the illegal occupation of our city. That was followed by significant changes in leadership, both at the Ottawa Police Services Board and within the Ottawa Police Service.

Nous savons que les événements à #Ottawa sont bouleversants. Nous demandons toutefois aux gens de cesser d'appeler les lignes d'urgence et les lignes opérationnelles pour exprimer leur mécontentement à l'égard de l'action policière visant à faire... ...disparaître un rassemblement illégal au centre-ville.

Des vies peuvent dépendre de l'acheminement des appels au 911. C'est un crime d'appeler inutilement le 911 ou notre numéro de non-urgence (613-236-1222).

We are aware of a concerted effort to flood our 911 and non-emergency policing reporting line. This endangers lives and is completely unacceptable. (1/2) It is a crime to unnecessarily call 911 or our non-emergency number (613-236-1222). We track calls and will charge anyone deliberately interfering with emergencies. (2/2)

OPSB Statement from Interim Chief Bell:
Overnight and throughout the day, residents are seeing a major increase in the number of police officers on our streets.

We have begun to erect barriers and fencing throughout the downtown core. Only those with lawful reason to enter the core, such as residents, businesses and others with lawful reasons, will be allowed in the area

The unlawful protesters must leave the area and will not be provided access.
