These projects may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Deploying additional frontline police officers where and when they are needed most<\/li><li>Creating school liaison programs to raise awareness of issues such as bullying, cyber bullying, drugs, harmful substances as well as internet safety<\/li><li>Developing community outreach programs on a variety of public safety issues including road safety, substance abuse, sexual violence, and human trafficking<\/li><li>Providing enhanced training to frontline officers and community partners on public safety issues such as mental health, human trafficking, intimate partner violence, and gun and gang violence<\/li><li>Setting up special units that provide comprehensive, survivor-centered approaches to address human trafficking or sexual violence and harassment<\/li><li>Setting up collaborative \u201cSituation Tables\u201d between police and community partners to better deal with acutely elevated risks such as the opioid crisis and mental health issues<\/li><li>Establishing and sharing intelligence gathering information such as surveillance of organized crime, covert operations, and social media monitoring of gang activity<\/li><li>Implementing crime prevention, intervention and diversion strategies focused on youth and young adults who are at risk of entering gangs, as well as exit strategies for victims of human trafficking<\/li><li>Purchasing new equipment that support policing operations and activities such as enhanced software\/technology and\/or new vehicles.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, approximately $42 million will be provided through the provincial priorities funding stream which includes gun and gang related violence, sexual violence and harassment, human trafficking, mental health and addictions as well as hate-motivated crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A call for application will be issued shortly to inform police services and their communities about the availability of the grant program. Eligible police services will be required to demonstrate collaborative partnerships among police services, municipalities, and community-based organizations. Successful recipients will be announced in spring 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This investment builds on the approximately $112 million the province has invested to combat gun and gang violence since 2018 with the help of the federal government through the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/guns-gangs-and-violence-reduction-strategy\">Ontario Guns, Gangs and Violence Reduction Strategy<\/a>.
