BACKGROUND
In 1991 the Regional Municipality of Durham, the Regional Municipality Durham Police
Services Board and the local municipalities located within the Region entered into a Joint
Powers Agreement which sets out how the Durham Region's Emergency 911 Telephone
Reporting System is to operate. That agreement provided that the manager of the 911 system
was to be a Sworn Officer of the Durham Regional Police. Since 1995, Theresa Virgin has
been the Manager of Police Communications and of the 911 System for the Durham Region.
She obtained the position of Manager of Police Communications by virtue of her education and
past experience, however is not a Sworn Officer of the Durham Regional Police Service.
Accordingly, the 911 Management Board has determined that it would be appropriate to
amend the Joint Powers Agreement in order to reflect the current state of affairs. As such, the
board has had a brief amending agreement prepared by the Region of Durham's Legal
Department in order to affect the required amendment, a copy which is attached as
Attachment #1.
It is respectfully recommended that the Mayor and Municipal Clerk be authorized to execute
the agreement and that the appropriate by-law be forwarded to Council.
