The funding is part of the province\u2019s plan to help protect communities, support victims of crime and keep people safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis partnership between the Durham Regional Police and other Provincial Policing Services is a step forward in safeguarding the public,&#8221; said Lorne Coe, MPP for Whitby and Parliamentary Assistant to the Premier. \u201cWe must reassess and strengthen the framework of bail reform, ensuring that it serves not only as a means of upholding individual rights but also as a robust safeguard for the well-being of our communities.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through the Bail Compliance and Warrant Apprehension (BCWA) Grant program, the government is investing $24 million across the province to help <a>establish dedicated bail compliance and\/or warrant apprehension teams to monitor high-risk individuals. <\/a>The funding is being delivered over three years and will also support new technology for a province-wide bail compliance monitoring system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is unacceptable that repeat and violent offenders are committing serious crimes while out on bail,\u201d said Solicitor General Michael Kerzner. \u201cBy giving police the tools, they need to track and arrest offenders who violate their bail conditions, our government is helping to ensure Ontario is one of the safest jurisdictions in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/page\/community-safety-initiatives-and-resources#section-3\">The BCWA Grant<\/a> is part of a <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ontario.ca\/en\/release\/1002987\/ontario-takes-action-on-high-risk-and-repeat-violent-offenders\">$112 million investment<\/a> to strengthen the province\u2019s bail system and ensure repeat and violent offenders comply with their bail and court-ordered conditions.

The sustained success of the dashboard will come from the continued support and investments to deliver and grow this important community safety program.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Chief Peter Moreira, Durham Regional Police Service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The BCWA Grant program will support 17 municipal police services, four First Nations police services and 12 Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>QUICK FACTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Ontario is fighting auto theft by <a href=\"https:\/\/news.ontario.ca\/en\/release\/1003005\/ontario-cracking-down-on-auto-theft\">investing $51 million<\/a> over three years to help police identify and dismantle organized crime networks and put thieves behind bars.
