On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to submit the 1981-82 Annual Report of
the Justice Institute of British Columbia. This fiscal period, the Institute reached
a plateau, a welcome respite after three years of intense and rapid growth. The
infra-structures for providing high calibre, effective and cost efficient programs
and services for our clients in the Ministries of Attorney-General and Health
are now established. The quality of instruction, the utilization of resources and
the implementation of unique and innovative program have continued to draw
interest and support from a cross section of public and private agencies. The
reputation of the Institute as a centre of excellence in justice and public safety
training continues to grow.

Report of the
Chairman of
the Board

In 1981, the Five Year Educational Plan of the Institute was submitted to the
Ministry of Education. Questions concerning the lnstitute's role within education; its relationshjp to other post-secondary institutions and to its clients; and
educational alternatives for the future were raised in order to create a dialogue
on the future directions that the Institute should pursue. This process demonstrates the Justice lnstitute's commitment to working within the educational system of the Province in order to maximize the use of available resources. To this
end, the Institute Board has endorsed the cooperative planning activities of the
Principal as a member of the Lower Mainland Cooperative Planning Group.
This year, 12,576 people attended an Institute course, program, workshop,
seminar or conference across the Province. The credit for the student population increase goes to our major clients for their commitment to the professional
development of their personnel; to the Ministry of Education for its support
and funding of continuing and community education; and to the administration, staff and faculty of the Institute for their creativity in programming to
meet the justice and public safety needs of British Columbia.
During this period of economic restraint, the Justice Institute has demonstrated
its flexibility by adjusting its pattern of growth to a more realistic expectation,
while continuing to achieve maximum effect from existing resources. The development of a student residence on campus, along with the other components of
the capital program, would create the opportunity to generate further economies in annual operating costs. During the four years of operation, approximately one million dollars has been expended on student accommodation
and support in downtown Vancouver hotels. These costs will continue to escalate. Therefore, the construction of a residential facility on campus will be the
major priority of the Board for the future.

Robert J. Stewart,
Chairman of the Board

Report of the
Principal and
Chief Executive
Officer

During 1981-82, the Justice Institute of B.C. completed Phase 111 of the comprehensive Five Year Educational Plan. The Plan, developed in consultation with
our major clients, charts new directions and goals for all divisions of the lnsti·
tute. Based on an analysis of client and community needs, the Plan is dynamic.
It projects involvement, areas of programming, and financial and facility requirements for the future. It will be revised, modified or expanded as changing
conditions dictate. It provides both the Institute and its major clients with a
reliable framework within which the future can be anticipated and systematic
planning undertaken.
The fiscal year 1981-82 was exciting for the administration, faculty and staff of
the Institute. Course offerings were up by 23% to 768 programs and the number of students increased by 71 % from 7,328 to 12,576. Familiar programs
were reviewed and updated, new programs were researched and developed
and many controversial justice and public safety issues were addressed for the
first time in a cross system context. Sexual Abuse, Incest, Family Violence, Advanced Cardiac Life Support and Trauma were all attended by cross system
professionals and by interested individuals. Without the Justice Institute to
provide the integrated focus, it is doubtful that these disturbing but important
issues would be brought forward for discussion and debate.
The lnstitute's commitment to integrate theoretical knowledge and practical
experience was further developed this past year. Inter-divisional programming,
the success of the Management Development Centre and the overwhelming
positive response from all corners of the Province to the courses offered by
the Community Programs Department, the Emergency Medical Assistant I
course and the Volunteer Firefighter training program attest to the impact the
Institute is having on the quality of professional justice and public safety training in the Province.
The success of the major training academies (Police, Corrections, Emergency
Health and Fire) continues to be based on the close working relationships between their programs, field managers and the respective senior officials within
the Ministries of Attorney-General, Health and Education. The quality of these
relationships enhances the substance, effectiveness and continuity of the
learning experiences for all students.
The achievements of the Justice Institute during 1981-82 have been exceptionally visible. They are documented in the following pages of this report. The
students leaving the Institute are proof that an integrated cross system model
can work to the benefit and satisfaction of all parties. The dedicated efforts of
the faculty, staff and Board of the Institute•. who in their individual contributions translate concepts into realities, deserve applause for a job well done.
With such vision, dedication and talent, the future is secure. It is a pleasure to
have the opportunity to be a part of such a team.

Principal and
Chief Executive Officer

Division

Mission Statement

To provide a range of training courses and staff development services to ensure that Corrections Branch employees receive basic, advanced and
management training in accordance with Branch policy and standards,
government policy and appropriate collective agreements.

Divisional Report

The development of a training plan for the 1981-82 fiscal year involved a
detailed needs analysis. Each Corrections Branch employee identified the
training needs required for effective job performance in present positions
and the training needs desired for personal growth. Upon completion, an
academic plan was presented to the Branch Management Committee indicating the priority training needs that could be met within budgetary
allocations. From the academic plan a detailed course schedule was
developed and distributed to all staff outlining course objectives and anticipated learning outcomes. As a result of the needs analysis process and
feedback received from field staff, changes were made and new programs
initiated. The Youth Supervisor basic training program was reviewed and the
content modularized. A Hostage Survival Workshop was developed for onsite training in adult institutions. The First Aid training portion of Security
Officer courses was modified to include cardiopulmonary resuscitation and
first responder skill development. Comprehensive lesson plans were
developed for the Probation Officer training courses and examinations and
measurement criteria were introduced on a number of courses.
Most courses were full or had waiting lists. An exception was the Youth
Supervisor training program which tended to be undersubscribed due to the
difficulty in freeing up youth containment staff during periods. of overcrowding.
A total of 113 courses and workshops were carried out during the year
amounting to 9,387 student training days involving 2,126 Corrections
employees. To reduce training course costs, a number of institutional programs were offered on-site, minimizing the cost of replacement staff and
employee travel. These programs were well received and will be offered
more frequently next year.
A system of pass/fail standards for recruit training programs was introduced
and examinations requiring a 65.% grade for successful completion were administered to persons on basic training programs.
A set of physical fitness standards was introduced for Security Officers and
physical fitness sessions were added to the basic Security Officer training
program.

18

Maintenance of the Corrections Branch Manpower Inventory System continued to be a responsibility of the Division. The system ensures that current
records are maintained on employee training and career development status
allowing analysis for more effective human resource planning.
The Corrections Branch continued to make active use of the Justice Institute
Continuing Education Librarian and a large volume of reference and
research inquiries were handled from Corrections Branch employees around
the Province. The circulation of acquisition lists and listings of journal articles assisted Branch employees to maintain an awareness of current correctional issues.
In addition to the recruit training programs, the Division offered a variety of
advanced courses and workshops including: Criminal Law, Conflict Resolution by Mediation, Custody and Access Report Preparation, Organization
and Utilization of Community Resources, Family Violence, the Expert
Witness, Parole Coordinators Workshop, Crisis Intervention, Hostage Survival, Stress Management, Interviewing and Motivation Skills, Youth
Management, Career Planning, Firearms Requalification, Tactical Squad
Commander's Course and Handcuffing Techniques.
The Staff Development Division continues to face the challenge of pro'viding a maximum number of training opportunities to Branch employees
while reducing expenditures. On-site and distance learning programs will
continue to be emphasized and curriculum studies are being completed on
a regular basis to ensure that training content is relevant and high calibre.
The support resources available through the Justice Institute of British Columbia have assisted the Corrections Staff Development Division to provide
a professional and comprehensive training and development program.

Educational
Services
Division

Mission Statement
Educational Services Division promotes and supports cross systems programs and educational services at the Justice Institute and across British
Columbia by providing:
1) community and outreach conferences, workshops and seminars;
2) multi-media library and media resource centre;
3) cross system management programs;
4) program development services;
5) psychological services;
6) contracted programs;
7) Court Services training.

Divisional Report
The Educational Services Division brought together three different functions
at the Justice Institute during the 1981-82 fiscal year. It provided program
support services to enhance the quality of training and education programs
conducted by the Academies at the Institute. It planned, organized and
delivered community and management cross system programs to meet identified needs and issues in the justice and public safety system. It provided
administrative support to the Court Programs section of the Institute.
To achieve these needs, the staff of the Division have remained open and
flexible in developing services and programs to meet the diverse training
and educational needs of the Academies, their clients and the students involved in Justice Institute programs.
The following is a summary of the Educational Services sections highlighting
some of their activities.

Service Activities
Instructional Services
During 1981-82, all three units of Instructional Services - the Media Centre,
the Resource Ce11tre and Continuing Education Field Services - experienced rapid growth in service utilization.
The assimilation of Instructional Supplies and Graphics Services into the
Media Centre meant that staff could better accommodate teaching aid requests. This change was reflected in the Media Centre usage statistics which
showed a 100% increase. Major video and slide-tape productions, "It May
Be Your Neck" for Emergency Health Services Academy, "Roll Call Training
Package" for the Police Academy in cooperation with municipal police
departments and the R.C.M.P., "Witness Preparedness" for Contract Programs with the Ministry of Forests, are some examples of the high quality
curriculum aids that the Media Centre have produced over the year. Several
Media Centre productions have been broadcast on the Knowledge Network
to interested audiences across the province. In addition, Media Centre staff
were involved in the production of Emergency Medical Assistant I Distance
Learning Modules for the Emergency Health Services Academy.

20

The Resource Centre revised, published and distributed the "Justice Institute
Audiovisual Catalogue". The catalogue lists more than 400 films,
videotapes, slide-tapes and slide sets owned by the Institute and available
for loan to the provincial justice and public safety community. Audiovisual
loans have increased so dramatically that a film inspector/cleaner was purchased. The addition of a part-time cataloguing librarian and better on-line
computer services has greatly increased the efficiency of acquiring
materials for the Resource Centre. Approximately 800 additions were made
to the collection now comprising 8,500 titles. There was a significant rise in
the demand for professional librarians' services particularly in the production of specialized bibliographies covering a variety of related subject areas
and an increase in the number of in-class instruction and orientation sessions
for students and instructors. Special Resource Centre projects for the year
were the development of practicums for Vancouver Community CollegeLangara library technician students and a Youth Employment Program summer project for a University of British Columbia library student.
The delivery of services and materials to the field by Continuing Education
Field Services increased by an average of 100%.
The monthly mailouts of the "Acquisition List" and "Journal News" have
resulted in expanded activity; an average of 400 photocopied articles are
sent out monthly to the field and there is now a registered borrowers' list
totalling over 1,200. Professional Development activities for Instructional
Services staff included attendance at "Principles of Supervision", participation in a "Presentation Skills Workshop", courses in medical terminology,
plus a book and film display for the "Women in the Criminal Justice System
Conference" held in April. Instructional Services also sponsored several film
series on "Contemporary Social Issues" seen on the Knowledge network.
Program Development

The Program Development Section experienced rapid growth in providing
instructional design and development services to all divisions of the Justice
Institute. The Emergency Health Services Academy continued its long term
commitment to redesigning and evaluating existing courses and developing
and designing new courses involving innovative forms of packaging and
delivery for distance education modules.
During the spring and summer, Program Development staff worked with the
Police Academy to assist in the design and writing of standardized course
outlines for Blocks I through V and also assisted in the redesigning of the
Legal Studies Manual.
The major project undertaken during the fall and winter months involved
the design and implementation of training needs analyses for all areas of
training conducted by Court Services. A skills analysis was done for the Corrections Academy to assist them in redesigning their Adult Probation Officers course.

21

Over and above these Academy projects, the section conducted a number
of Training Techniques courses for Institute staff and field trainers. To further support the trainers, an ongoing Instructor Skills Development Program
has been designed and will be implemented in the coming year.
All Academies have expressed interest in gaining increased support from the
section in the coming year. A second staff person will be hired to meet growing demands involving program development expertise to improve the quality of all courses offered by the Institute.

Psychological Services
Psychological. Services has completed its second year of operation. Following an initial year of growth and development, the Section is providing a
variety of services. First, classroom teaching for all the Academies in the
following areas: Crisis Intervention, Stress Identification and Burnout, Abnormal Psychology, Dealing with Minorities, Hostage Taking and
Preparedness, Psychology of Fire Setting and Motivational Factors in
Behaviour; second, counselling and crisis and intervention support for
students and staff at the institute; and third, crisis counselling and consultation to the field on a fee for services contract basis.
In addition to the teaching and counselling provided by the Section, a
number of special workshops and talks have been provided for justice and
public safety organizations throughout British Columbia, across Canada and
to a limited extent in the United States.
Requests for services continue to grow at an active rate and are only limited
by the staff and financial resources needed to expand the operation.
Over the year, the Section provided approximately 80 classroom teaching
days, 6 Institute sponsored workshops, 15 talks, 5 consultations, and
counselling services for 147 clients on problems related to (i) stress overload
40%, (ii) marital problems 35%, (iii) post traumatic reactions 10%, (iv)
alcohol related problems 10%, and (v) other 5%.

Physical Education
As a result of a decision by the Executive Committee of the Justice Institute,
a Physical Education Section was established in October 1981.
The purpose of the Section is to provide overall leadership and support to all
the Academies within the Institute and plan and coordinate the use of all
physical education and recreation resources available to the Institute.
A Coordinator was hired and began working with the Academies to identify
the variety of needs and problems they faced in developing and delivering
quality physical education programs as part of their curriculum.

22

Assistance has been made available to upgrade courses in physical fitness,
self defence and baton training. Work has also begun in assisting Academies
and their respective client groups to develop physical fitness and skills standards as a base for future training programs.
In addition to the specifics involved in working with the Academies, the
Coordinator has also worked cooperatively with Jericho Hill School in sharing space and coordinating the use of the building and resources with
Jericho Hill School, the Institute and a variety of public groups. To assist in
these efforts, minor renovations have been made to the stage area in the
gymnasium. Further planning is also underway to renovate and expand the
physical education facilities in the coming year.
In the first six months of operation, a definite and established need for a
Physical Education Section has been established and many plans are underway to upgrade these services in the coming year.
Cross Systems Programs
Community Programs

During the year, Community Programs offered a total of 95 programs ranging from major conferences with more than 200 participants to training sessions with small groups of 5 or more people. Three types of programs were
offered: interdisciplinary programs for representatives from a range of professional and community groups; programs for the public; and programs for
private agencies or community groups.
In 1981, Community Programs piloted a public programs initiative to increase the public's awareness of their rights and responsibilities in relation to
justice and public safety. Examples of programs offered include sessions on
Burglary Prevention in the Home; Schemes, Scams and Cons (a course for
senior citizens on ways to protect themselves) and Heart Savers, a basic
course in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Staff continued to organize programs throughout British Columbia as part of
the Justice lnstitute's provincial mandate. Eighteen cities and towns outside
the Lower Mainland were the sites of Community Programs sponsored sessions; frequently, more than one program was offered in these locations. In
addition to the Justice Institute campus, 22 other sites in the Lower
Mainland were used to hold programs.
Community Programs staff continue in their approach of cosponsoring programs with a range of agencies and organizations covering a variety of
government ministries, educational groups and societies or centres. Thirtyfive different groups worked with Community Programs to cosponsor programs during the year; many cosponsors worked on more than one program.
Student training days for the year totalled 4,603. This represents a 270% increase in activity over last year.

23

Management Development Centre

The Management Development Centre completed its first year of operation
at the end of March 1982. Formed as a means of integrating the management training functions of a number of branches of the Ministry of Attorney
General, the Centre has also successfully addressed the training needs of
other organizations including the Emergency Health Services Commission,
the Legal Services Society, the Conservation Officers Service and the
Federal Corrections Service.
Of particular importance to the Centre's Three Year Plan is expanding access
to management training beyond the Justice Institute and the traditional
daytime classroom. The Centre has taken two initial steps, both well received. The first was to work in conjunction with the continuing Education section of the Instructional Resources Centre in offering information and
knowledge on various management topics using audio cassette/workbook
packages. The distance education approach to self-directed management
training points the way to further initiatives in this area as the cost of formal
classroom training becomes increasingly expensive, even prohibitively so.
The second successful initiative was to offer an introductory management
program in the evening. The affirmative response to the program clearly
demonstrated the need for the Justice Institute to continue offering its
management programs in off-work hours as well as during the regular work
day.
Whereas initially the Centre conducted all its courses at the Justice Institute,
necessitating considerable expenses for out-of-town participants, the decision was taken to conduct a high percentage of the Centre's courses on a
regional basis. To date, courses have been held in New Westminster, Prince
George and Kamloops and have been well attended. "I wouldn't be able to
attend this course in Vancouver, but appreciate the Management Development Centre delivering its program here", is a familiar comment. The
regional delivery approach will be expanded in the coming year to include
Nanaimo, Terrace and Nelson.
The faculty of the Centre are freelance management educators contracted
on an 'as required' basis. The arrangement has proven to be most satisfactory both in reduced overhead and in content. As faculty work with
organizations other than the Justice Institute, they are able to bring considerable experience to the Centre's programs.
The Centre conducted 18 courses involving 234 students for a total of
1,012.5 student training days. The academic plan for 1982-83 calls for the
number to be doubled.
Courses offered are first level Principles of Supervision, Principles of Middle
Management and Executive Development. In addition, various seminars are
offered on management areas such as Selection and Interviewing, Labour
Relations, Job Induction and Personnel Assessment.

24

Administrative Support
Court Programs
The past year was significant for Court Programs. Three new instructors arrived and began their duties during the summer.
The newly appointed staff development officer was seconded from the
Court Services Branch to begin work on the Court Registry Clerk programs.
The program was revamped, lesson plans developed and specialized
speakers for some of the technical topics were located. Court Registry Clerk
training consists of a basic one week course that surveys the range of both
court registries and the duties of staff in the court system. There are two one
week intermediate level courses - one focusses on the Provincial Court while
the other concentrates on the Supreme and County Courts. The advanced
course for court registry staff will be designed to enhance jobs and job
related skill and is still in the design stage. Two basic courses and one each
of the intermediate courses have been conducted to date with positive
reactions from those attending the programs.
Another staff development officer from Court Services was seconded to the
Institute to continue the Deputy Sheriff training programs. The Sheriff's
Basic course is seven weeks in length while the refresher program is two
weeks long. One basic course and three refresher courses were conducted.
A third instructor hired this year worked on legal studies, spending time
developing a program for Registrars in Supreme and County Courts and on
specialized contract programs. Contract programs, circumscribed programs
contracted with a specific Ministry of the provincial public service or a
federal department, had a growth year. In addition to continuing an
established program for Safety Engineers in the Ministry of Labour, programs were developed and conducted for federal parole staff, the Ministry
of Transportation and Highways (Motor Vehicle Branch), the Ministry of Environment, Environment Canada and a program designed for Ministry of
Transportation and Highways (Motor Vehicle Branch). This last program will
be conducted during the summer of 1982.
The Land Title School is continuing to flourish and a number of new programs are being developed for next year. A separate off ice has been
established for Land TitleS' training at the Institute with a coordinator retained on contract for their training programs.
Several additional functions were performed for an assortment of organizations during the year. The Coroner's Branch conducted one program and the
Justice of the Peace training programs were given some assistance with their
programs. A two week program was developed by the Institute and conducted under the aegis of the Chief Judge for a newly established position
within Court Services: a trial coordinator.

Health
Services
Academy

Mission Statement
To develop and provide programs, courses of instruction and services consistent with the identified needs of the Emergency Health Services Commission under the authority of the Emergency Health Services Act.
Divisional Report

The initial momentum Emergency Health Services Academy generated has
continued into its second year of operation. New programs were initiated
and are running successfully; existing programs were scrutinized and only
the most sound components remained in an effort to meet the high educational standards of the Justice Institute and the job standards expected of
Emergency Health Services Commission employees.
Three factors contributed to the sustained momentum: the recruitment of
top calibre program directors; the initiation of a secondment model for the
faculty; and the clarification of the interface between operations and training.
The organization of Academy activities into program units was strengthened
by the recruitment of leaders in emergency medicine, nursing and prehospital care to direct and coordinate these programs. In addition to enthusiasm for their roles, they all share a philosophy which supports the adult
learner.
In May 1981, following an impressive competition seven well qualified individuals were selected for the first secondment team of the Academy.
Again, their enthusiasm for their trade and for teaching impacted significantly on the recruits entering the Ambulance Service.
The Justice lnstitute's success has been largely due to the close relationship
between its programs and field experiences. The cooperation between the
Academy and the Emergency Health Services Commission operations has
made the field experiences for students both relevant and rewarding.
Subsequent to these three influences, major improvements were made in
the programs. Some improvements inciuded:
'
1.

The delivery of the Emergency Medical Assistant I course through
community-based instructors. Forty-seven community instructors were
trained at the Institute. They returned home to teach their communities'
part-time attendants. Initial program development contributed
significantly to the approximately $100.00 student training day cost during this first year. The projected cost for the coming year is only $42.00.
The success of this type of delivery method is encouraging and may
serve as a model for other Institute programs. Five hundred and fortyseven ambulance attendants in sixty-nine communities received the
Emergency Medical Assistant I course in this manner.

26

2.

The Emergency Medical Assistant II course for full-time employees
changed focus. More learning was achieved through practical simulations and through graduated field practicums. The formation of an examination committee is expected to significantly improve the evaluation process and accurately predict the student's job preparation.
Four courses were taught during 1981-82 for a total of 1,195 student
training days (EMA 11 undergraduate program).
Recognition by other Provinces of the program's quality can be interpreted by two events: The Government of the Yukon bore the expenses
to send one of its supervisors to this course; and in December, Emergency Medical Educators from across Canada attended a two week program here, studying the Academy's recruit training methods.

3.

The Trauma program has been the most sought after program offered
this year and for good reason. Already reports indicate it has been effective in treating some serious trauma victims. It also involves community
physicians in the training program, thus increasing local medical interest
in pre-hospital care. Twenty-one communities received the program,
training sixty-two attendants.

4.

The Emergency Health Services Commission recognized the need for an
Advanced Life Support program in Kelowna. The city received an Advanced Life Support I team this year. The subsequent training program,
designed and controlled by the Academy was taught using many of
Kelowna's own educational and health care resources. Sixteen attendants, including two from Chilliwack and four from Kamloops, were
trained over twelve months.

5.

The Infant Transport Team program saw the greatest change. A team of
content and educational experts modularized the program so that small
groups of approximately five students received alternating classroom,
hospital and field experiences. The design of this program has been acclaimed by health and educational leaders, both for its individualized
instruction, much of it in-hospital, and because the small groups lessen
the demand placed upon the teaching hospital.

6.

The Academy provides several services for the Emergency Health Services Commission. Among these are small research programs, quality
assurance programs, medical advisory administration and administration of the provincial cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) program. The
CPR program's administration was reorganized and the Academy
assumed the responsibilities formerly held by the B.C. Heart Foundation. In February 1'982, the Canadian Heart Foundation officially
recognized and announced that the CPR program in British Columbia
would be administered by the Justice Institute.
This modestly funded program is training 2,000 citizens a month to prevent heart attack and to treat heart attack victims before the ambulance arrives.

27

7.

The Emergency Health Services Commission also recognized the
need to maintain the skills of the medical community in dealing with
cardiac and trauma related problems. The Advanced Cardiac Life
Support (ACLS) workshops are helping physicians maintain their skills
in managing cardiac arrests. In addition, this year, in conjunction
with the University of British Columbia hospital, the Academy
organized the first Advanced Trauma Life Support (A TLS) course in
Western Canada. This trauma program, in addition to the cardiac arrest program, provides the opportunity for physicians to maintain
their skills in dealing with the two major causes of mortality in
Canada.

We are fortunate to have the support and involvement of the mediCal
community. The Canadian Medical Association recognized this involvement and has modelled much of its national standards for ambulance
training on British Columbia's program. In the third year of operation, we
anticipate this Academy will be the first institution to receive accreditation by the Canadian Medical Association.
The coming year, even though it will be one of considerable fiscal restraint,
will see the Emergency Health Services Academy deliver its advanced programs in a revised graduated format which promises to match the high standards of delivery developing in the other Academy programs.

the identified needs of the Fire Commissioner and the Fire Services Community of British Columbia.

Fire
Academy

Divisional Report
Firefighting is an exacting science requiring a sophisticated degree of
training to provide standardization to all levels of firefighters throughout
the province. During the third year of the Academy's operation, 4,952 student training days were provided for Officers from the Paid and
Volunteer sectors. This represents a 120% increase over 1980-81.
This year has seen tremendous growth in the Volunteer Fire Training Division. The number of courses has increased from 13 to 33 representing a
145% escalation in training activity.
R~gional In-field Training Programs have been well received by the
Volunteers. Two-thirds of the Province have received Module A training,
while the last group will be completed by July 1982. These courses are so
popular that it has been difficult trying to keep the number of participants at thirty. A number of Fire Departments have asked to host the
next training session in their area. Also, new departments are meeting
their basic needs through the In-field Basic Training Programs . As people
become aware of the programs, requests are coming from new departments months in advance of their actual operating date. Volunteer Fire
Officers courses have also been well received . The success of the programs is seen by the enrollment for 1982-83 which is complete and the
waiting list continues to grow weekly.

The 1981-82 academic year for Advanced Training was progressive. The
number of courses offered increased by 70% for a total of 2,495 student
training days.
In addition to the increase in courses, a new position of Research Consultant was filled on contract. The responsibilities of this position are
research in all Advanced Training Programs, including instruction in
areas of Advanced Training.
Work is progressing with the Haney Fire Ground. The relationship between the Justice Institute and the Pacific Marine Training Institute has
continued to grow and flourish through our cooperative efforts to
develop the burn site to our mutual benefit. Pacific Marine Training Institute and the Justice Institute look forward to the start of construction
early in the new academic year.
The Apprenticeship Steering Committee of the Training and Curriculum
Committee developed a proposal for a Firefighter apprenticeship Pro-

29

gram. The objective and goal of the joint steering committee was to
recommend that the Training and Curriculum Committee of the Fire
Academy present the proposal in a resolution in principle at the conventions of the British Columbia's Fire Chiefs' and the Professional
Firefighters' Associations. Subsequent to approval the Fire Commissioner
and the Justice Institute will request to have firefighting established as a
designated trade in British Columbia by the Provincial Apprenticeship
Board. The pr.ogram will:
A) Provide a plan of approved training and experience thatwill qualify
apprentices as skilled professional firefighters and specifies in terms
of training, education, experience and performance objectives, the
minimum requirements for professional competence of a
journeyman firefighter.
B)

Provide fair and equitable treatment to all apprentices.

(C) Provide the Fire Department with highly qualified and trained
journeymen firefighters ensuring the highest level of fire protection
for the tax dollar.
D) Raise the general skill level throughout the entire provincial fire service.
Upon successful completion of the Apprenticeship Program, candidates
will receive:
a Certificate of Completion of Apprenticeship, and
A Journeyman Firefighting Certificate.
The changes and growth accomplished at the Fire Academy during the
1981-82 fiscal year are due to the dedication and hard work of faculty
and staff of the Academy. With their efforts and the combined support of
the Attorney General, the British Columbia Fire Commissioner, the British
Columbia Fire Chiefs' Association and the British Columbia Professional
Firefighters' Association the Fire Academy will continue to meet the
needs of British Columbia's firefighting community.

Mission Statement

To develop and provide police training programs and courses of instruction consistent with the identified needs of the Police Community of
British Columbia. To assure that Municipal Peace Officers have a level of
competence in skill, knowledge and understanding that meet the law enforcement requirements of the Police Act and attending regulations.

Police
Academy

Divisional Report

The objective of the Police Academy is to meet the training needs of
British Columbia's police community. In view of the technological,
sociological and statutory trends of change it would be ludicrous to say
that our efforts have satisfied our ambitious goals.
1981 was a year of development, experimentation and instruction .
Courses with new content were introduced, new adult teaching
methodologies were experimented with and many novices were introduced to their new profession through innovative recruit course instruction.
In terms of quantity, the Academy produced 17,100 student training days
in the recruit training program and 4,271 student days in the advanced
training area. The Research, Development and Assessment section processed 150 prospective municipal constables and 112 promotional candidates through the assessment centre as a service to the provincial
municipal police community.
During the 1981-82 fiscal year the number of recruits for Block I training
program was 50% higher than the previous year. Should monetary
restraints cause a decrease in municipal hiring during 1982-83, the
Academy will still have to accommodate double classes of recruits
through the completion of the basic training program and the general or
upper levels program until at least 1984.
The upper level Blocks of recruit training proved problematic as there
was an urgent need to review and upgrade course content. A moratorium
could not be implemented because of the ongoing nature of the program. In view of the urgency for change, the process of revamping course
content was completed in stages over a period of one and a half years.
The feedback from both students and clients indicates that the new
course content is rewarding and worthwhile.
The physical training section has become increasingly sophisticated this
year. The Academy joined other Divisions of the Institute in acquiring the
services of an enthusiastic physical education expert. The academic
credentials and practical background of the incumbent give the
Academy's physical education programs increased credibility. The Coordinator of Physical Education is also committed to the development of
maintenance programs for the serving police officer.

31

The exemption and challenge procedures, to test candidates for the
municipal forces with adequate previous police experience to render them
qualified or certified respectively, are appropriately utilized by the
municipal police services. Fifteen candidates wrote the one day exemption
examination and ten participated in the three day challenge procedure.
A close assessment of these processes, from the Academy's perspective
and that of the examinees and employers, has proven that the exam and
challenge process is valid in measuring the competence of the prospective candidates. The process ensures that standard prerequisites for the
municipal constable categories have been attained.
Firearms training in the recruit program is extensive and costly. The most
expensive component is the acquisition of ammunition. To off-set exhorbitant costs, the Academy has recently begun to manufacture its own
ammunition. This should reflect in savings and a relaxation of austerity
measures regarding ammunition.
Last year mention was made of the revamping of the driver training program. The results have been good. Other police academies have sent
their staff to study the new program. The comments have been flattering
and the results satisfactory.
This was the second year that the Advanced Training section presented a
full and maximum slate of courses. 'Maximum' means that the scheduling of advanced courses and the aggregate of 'training seats' the calendar creates are based on field needs and manpower availability. So the
advanced training programs are designed to maximize the enrollment
from our clients' view point.
Many new courses were inaugurated during the 1981-82 fiscal year. They
dealt with major criminal investigations, upgrading the senior investigators on the latest techniques, investigative aids and legal
precedents; negotiating with barricaded persons or hostage takers and
psychological profiling among others. These were offered in addition to
workshops on current policy issues.
The Academy also took responsibility for the training and retraining of
breathalyzer operators. This was done with the assistance of the R.C.M.
Police and the Vancouver City Analyst. Previously the R.C.M. Police and
the Vancouver City Analyst had carried out this task but could no longer
meet the ever increasing demand for qualifying breathalyzer operators.
In general, the feedback on the advanced training courses is gratifying.
Unique programs were experimented with. A particular highlight was a
three week integrated program concerning all aspects of juvenile delinquency and its treatment. Police shared the classrom with social workers,
counsellors and others. The Canadian Police College shared in the
development and delivery of this course.

32

The new "Constables' Advanced Program" was also well received by the
students who all had a minimum of seven years of police experience. After a
year and a half moratorium on the Police Officers Advanced Training Program and an extensive curriculum development process, the new program
was successfully launched.
The research and development areas were added to the assessment services
in September 1981. After completing a reliability study of the assessment
process in 1980, with satisfactory results, a validity study had to be initiated
without interrupting the existing services provided by the assessment centre
to municipal police forces. The service consists of testing prospective personnel, as well as serving members, for promotional purposes. The gathering
of data required to carry out this complicated project has begun. Results
may be available by the end of 1982 or early in 1983. Another assessment
centre assignment is to develop a credit educational program for the police
community which complements and dove-tails with the programs administered by the Canadian Police College.
Another mandate is to create a greater awareness of the pol ice career with
counsellors and teachers in the secondary school system. Students can then
be properly counselled about educational programs which might complement their policing aspirations. As part of this program, a disaster simulation
was organized, in conjunction with other Divisions of the Justice Institute.
Hundreds of highschool students attended to learn the function and relationship of public emergency service. The critiques were pleasing to those
who had organized this event. Plans are underway to host a similar event
next year.
A project nearing completion is the development of a course outline for all
Blocks of recruit training. The course outline will ensure continuity when
new seconded instructors relieve those returning to their departments. The
course content subdivides curriculum into specific and identifiable courses
with clear statements of objectives and balances and synchronizes the
teaching and quality content in the various sections of the Academy.
Research and development provides numerous services to municipal forces.
One of these is the development, supervision and correction of promotional
examinations. Many departments have taken advantage of this service.
Clients and examinees are pleased with the improved professional aspect
this service has brought to the promotional examination. Another service is
consulting and assisting police managers who are creating administrative or
unique supervisory positions in their departments to improve the quality of
police management.
Considering the progress we have made in 1981, it seems not immodest to
strive for similar success in 1982-83.

Finance and
Administration
Division

Mission Statement
The Division ensures the development and maintenance of Physical Facilities;
the establishment and operation of personnel, Financial and Accounting
Systems; the provision of Budgetting, Purchasing and Receiving, Stores and
Communications System support to all Divisions and Academies; the provision of information and advice to the lnstitute's Board on all financial matters.
Divisional Report

The Division is responsible for all the business aspects of the lnstitute's operation. These responsibilities include budgets, account, purchases, staff relations, communications, physical plant and student support (food services and
accommodation).
In the area of personnel and staff relations, the lnstitute's first and only arbitration case concerned the dismissal of an employee. The lnstitute's action
was upheld by the arbitrator and was supported in a subsequent appeal to the
B.C. Labour Relations Board. The lnstitute's Board established a Mandatory
Retirement Policy at age sixty-five, but provided for time limited appointments in special circumstances. The Fair Comparison System covering the professional and union excluded staff continues to function in a non-adversarial
atmosphere. The lnstitute's policy provides for all Managerial Staff to be Institute employees, as opposed to the secondment model, and the fulfillment
of this policy objective was achieved through the pending transfer, 1 April,
~982, of three managerial positions in the Corrections Academy.
The Justice lnstitute's Instructional Staff are seconded, whenever possible,
from the field, thus preserving the up-to-date training atmosphere. The Support and Administrative Staff are employed directly by the Institute. At fiscal
year end the Institute had a complement of 140 seconded and directly
employed staff, an increase of 25 during the year.
The Division strives to maximize the available budget towards the accomplishment of instruction and to minimize the budget consumed by Administration. During the past year the budget for Finance and Administration
amounted to 5'.6% of the lnstitute's total budget, compared to 5.9% for fiscal
year 1980-81.
The Institute, Ministry of Education and Jericho Hill School have agreed on a
proposed subdivision of the Jericho Hill property wherein the northerly portion containing Blake Hall, Lawrence Hall, the gymnasium and cafeteria
buildings w~ll be transferred to the Justice Institute. The Institute will then apply for a rezoning application and obtain a development permit from the City
of Vancouver. Architects and planners have commenced preliminary work on
the overall campus and development proposal encompassing an indoor
firearms range, for which Ministry of Education approval has been obtained,
an expansion to the gymnasium and the establishment of an on-site student
residence. A Community Advisory Committee consisting of representatives of
neighbourhood associations has provided input and advice to the Institute
concerning the maintenance of the aesthetic quality and beauty of the site.
The Institute and the Pacific Marine Training Institute have formed a joint
venture for the establishment of a Fire Training Facility at Maple Ridge which
will provide hands-on training for a wide range of firefighters; land has been
set aside for this project and an early commencement is anticipated. The construction of the model Fire Hall and Training Tower at the Maple Ridge site is
conditional upon the Institute obtaining program approval from the Fire Commissioner of British Columbia for the training of recruit firefighters.

to equity in fixed assets.

Depreciation is not provided on fixed assets. In all other respects these

3. Comparative Figures
Previously the proceeds from the issuance of debentures or term bank
loans totalling $975,000 were reflected as part of the equity in fixed assets
rather than a capital fund transaction. In addition certain 1980 fixed asset
additions totalling $348,024 were not reflected through the capital fund.
Accordingly the equity in fixed assets has been reduced by $626,976 and
the capital fund balance increased by $627,976 on a retroactive basis.

Certain 1981 comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with
the financial statement presentation adopted for 1982.
