Recommendation 16:
Decisions concerning the parent in conflict with the law should, wherever possible, consider whether the parent has dependents or responsibilities for the care of children, whether the offender is a sole or primary caregiver, the age and developmental needs of the children involved, and the best interests of each of the children involved. To that end, a number of measures can be taken at each stage of the criminal justice process.

Recommendation 3:
Currently “Specialized Service Agreements” under Part 2, Section 4(3) are focused on criminal investigation services, traffic enforcement services, police communication services, and forensic services. If the Ministry wished to ensure behavioral health and crisis response supports were coordinated with policing within designated service areas, this section could be amended to include such supports, with regulations in place to limit the role of police officers in mental health response while providing access to alternative service agreements to support coordinated, community-based crisis response.
