Letter of )
Transmittal

Dear Mr. Minister:
On behalf of the Board of the Justice Institute, I am pleased to submit
the 6th Annual Report. This report provides a detailed account of the
programs, expenditures and major activities of the Institute for the
fiscal year that ended 31 March, 1984. An analysis of the Report will
confirm that while 1983-84 was most stressful for the Institute, all major
training objectives were met or surpassed . Control over expenditures
resulted in the achievement of the restraint objectives established by
government and created a modest surplus of income over expenditures.
In an era of reduced funding and inflationary trends, this achievement
is worthy of note.
During this period of economic uncertainty the Justice Institute has
demonstrated its flexibility by adjusting to new expectations while
continuing to achieve maximum results from a substantially reduced
resource base. This resilience and adaptability augers well for the
future of the Institute as it seeks to identify and develop a more direct
relationship with the respective branches of the Ministries of Health
and Attorney-General .
Robert J. Stewart
Chairman of the Board

Report of the
Principal and
Chief Executive
Officer

During this past year over 25,000 students, drawn from the justice and
public safety professions of the Province and the commun ity-at-large
benefited from training programs offered by the Institute.
This
represents significant increases over previous years and is
exceptionally outstanding because they have been achieved with
substantially reduced resources. In accordance with the overall palicy
direction of Government, the staffing level of the Institute over the past
two years has been reduced by 30%. Under such severe restriction s,
the remaining staff at the Institute rose to the challenge and maintained
the overall training commitments of the Institute. A commendable
achievement in view of the uncertainties that surrounded the institution
late in the fiscal year.
The support and confidence of the Ministry of Attorney-General and
Ministry of Health has always been felt and appreciated but never more
keenly than in December 1983 when it was learned that the Ministry of
Education would no longer be funding the infrastructure of the
Institute. The assumption of financial responsibility by the Ministry of
Attorney-General and the transfer of the Institute from the Ministry of
Education to the Ministry of Attorney-General has initiated a renewed
commitment from all components of the Institute to continue to provide
quality, low cost training to all components of the British Columbia
justice and public safety community. The achievements ou,tlined in the
following pages are reflections of the qualities and competencies of the
Board, Faculty and Staff of the Institute. While the data account for the
past they are also predictions that the future expectations placed on the
Institute will be met with the same quality and professionalism that has
established our reputation over the past six years.

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) multi-media library and media resource centre;
2) program services;
3) psychological services;
4) physical fitness coordination and instructional services;
5) community and outreach conferences, workshops and seminars.

Divisional Report
The demand for services and programs grew during the year, even as
resources shrank . By January, 1984, planning began for a 40% budget
reduction in the new fiscal year. The cutbacks resulted in a loss of some
excellent staff members . The contributions of these individuals, in
building the existing services and programs, have been outstanding
and they will be missed greatly .
·
The Division must now concentrate on maintaining the calibre of
operations, while continuing to supply the vital services and programs
to the Academies, major client groups and the justice and public safety
community-at-large .
The following information highlights the activities conducted by the
units within the Division.

Program Services
On April 1, 1983, the Management Development Centre and the
Program Development Section combined to form the Program Services
Unit. The reorganization now distinguishes between program design
and development (Program Services) and program delivery (Community Programs) . The new unit continued to provide faculty
development opportunities for Institute personnel and instructional
techniques training for field staff .
Projects completed during the year include :
• assisting in th e design and development of a recertificatio n program
for Emergency Medical Attendant ll's,
il program development for the Young Offenders Act (YOA) In Action
video tape and a YOA training package for Court Services,
• designing a curriculum (DACUM) for Small Claim Regi strar s,
Community Based Residential Centre staff and Examiners of T itles
Surveyors ,
• designing and completing a statistical evaluation of a training
program for Federal Immigration Officers,
• involvement in the development of and the authoring of the
lnstitute's Five Year Plan as directed by the Ministry of Education.

16

Projects which are continuing into the new fiscal year include:
• providing program support to the Fire Academy 'Edukit' program,

• working with Land Titles staff in the development of a Land Titles
training manual,
• developing a criterion referenced instruction (CRI) package for
Deputy Sheriffs,
• working in conjunction with the Canadian Society of -Industrial
Security in the development of a. private security industry training
program.
Community Programs
In 1983-84 demand for Community Programs grew in terms of numbers
of programs and locations, as well as in co-sponsors and student
training days. Over 11,500 people participated in 300 programs.
Courses ranged from conferences with up to 200 participants to training
ses sions with 15 people.
Four types of programs were offered: interdisciplinary programs for
professionals; programs for private agencies and community groups;
programs for the public and women ' s access programs .
New topics offered for justice and public safety staff, as well as private
agency representatives included: Trauma First Aid, Suicide
Prevention, Collision Prevention, Mediation, Young Offenders Act,
Pornography, Youth in Crisis, Conflict Management and Crisis Intervention.
Public programs tripled in numbers over the previous year and
included: How to Protect Your Children, Home Security, Emergency
Care of Young Children, Strokes - Risks and Signals and a series
dedicated to assisting children and their parents in the development of
specific skills to prevent sexual assault and child molestation.
Over twenty Women's Access programs were offered on topics such as
Career Obstacles and Options, Women and Management, Women in
Prisons, Sexual Harassment and Pornography.
A range of targeted justice related programs were offered throughout
the Province through a project funded with the Solicitor General
Canada's Consultation Branch.
Community Programs staff continue to assist in organizing and
delivering program s across British Columbia. Courses were offered in
123 locations during the year, in support of the lnstitute's provincial
mandate.
Resource Centre
During 1983 -84 the Resource Centre reorganized its space to
accommodate a new reference room for students . Indexes, reference
books, pamphlet material and annual reports are now shelved together
assisting clients in their research activities. The Centre's collection
continues to grow and presently includes over 9,000 books, 200 journal
subscriptions and 600 audio-visual items .

17

Resource Centre Librarians published twelve bibliographies during the
year in support of special programs. Topics included "Child Sexual
Abuse", "Police Administration", "Prisoners Rights", "Child
Prostitution", "Legal Research", and "Wife Abuse".
Statistically, the Resource Centre answered 1,685 reference requests,
loaned 1,971 print materials and 2,644 audio-visual items. To support
field borrowers' requests, over 9,200 journal articles were sent out and
770 books were loaned.

Media Centre
The Media Centre team continues to produce an impressive number of
training video tapes to support programs being developed by all
Academies. Production highlights for the year include:
• Spouse Abuse
• Application of the MAST Trousers
• Young Offenders Act in Action
• Roll Call Training
- Legal Issues
- Young Offenders Act
- Handcuffing and Searching Techniques
• Heartsavers
• Malcolm Matter - A Family Court Case.
Media equipment was updated throughout the year " A major
improvement involved the purchase and installation of a dubbing
centre to support the growing demand for distance education kits for
the Emergency Health Services Academy, Roll Call training tapes for
the Police Academy and 'Edukits' for the Fire Academy.
The distribution services were in high demand both by Institute staff
and field training instructors.

Physical Education
The Police Academy was once again the major user of physical
education services in the areas of training and supervision of Academy
Physical Education staff, conducting classes, leading specialized
classes in self-defence and baton training and developing and testing
students in physical fitness and lifestyle evaluations . Similar support,
on a more limited basis, was provided for both the Corrections and
Court Services Academies .
Two research projects were started during the year. A fitness
validation research project for the Corrections Branch and a similar
research project for Court Services Branch . Both projects will be
completed in the coming year.
In addition to regular programming, a number of ongoing programs
included:

18

• maintaining ongoing liaison with Jericho Hill School in planning,
scheduling and maintaining the physical education resources and
equipment,

• assisting in the development of new programs involving physical
education and lifestyle components,
• working with and advising the building committee on future physical
education space requirements,
• encouraging and supporting informal recreation progl'ams for
Institute students and staff.

Psychological Services
As a result of the restraint measures, a new arrangement was made to
maintain the office of Psychological Services on a reduced basis.
Counselling services have been continued for all students, on a one day
a week basis. The service exists to support any student experiencing
personal or on-the-job problems, while attending classes at the
Institute.
Staff support on a contract basis, providing lectures for Academies in
Crisis Intervention, Stress Identification and Burnout, Abnormal
Psychology and other related topics continues.
During the year, special workshops were offered at the Institute and at
centres around the Province. Stress Identification, Crisis Intervention,
Stress and Violence and Stress and Burnout in High Risk Occupations
proved popular.
As in previous years, consultations and crisis counselling for justice and
public safety staff not attending the Institute were made available, on
request, on a fee-for-services basis.

Health
Services

Academy

Mission Statement
To develop and deliver programs, courses of instruction and services
consistent with th e identified needs of the Emergency Health Services
Commi ssion , under th e authority of the Emergency Health Services
Act.

Divisional Report
The year began with ambiguity about the future of the Emergency
Health Services Academy. A new management group at the
Emergency Health Services Com.mission (EHSC) reviewed the
relationship between EHSC training and the Institute. This caused
uncertainty about the location of the Academy . However, analysis and
discussions, lasting most of the year, appear to be strengthening and
renewing the Commission - Institute relationship.
The Commission ' s commitment to training was never in doubt. In fact,
the Academy was directed to revamp several programs to reflect the
streamlined provincial emergency medical service. The results were
gratifying .
An expanded program to train community ambulance attendants (EMA
l's) through the placement of Instructors in the Community and the
seconding of three new regional Instructor/Examiners was started .
Upgraded programming, giving more advanced skill and knowledge at
the general ambulance level, providing more highly skilled emergency
medical personnel at the EMA II level province wide, was also begun.
A program implemented this year has received acclaim from health
professionals across the country who have been struggling with the
continued 'competency-to-practice' problem. The Academy instituted
a compulsory three year recertification program. Every three years,
each EMA 11 must complete a year of continuing education - via
inter-active television and a block of basic skills review - via home study
modules . The program culminates in a demonstration/examination of
all basic skills during an intensive week at the Academy. The success
of the program is due to the individual home study efforts of the EMA
ll 's, a committed management group and a responsible union.
The Advanced Life Support Level I program (paramedic) was expanded
in an effort to increase existing services in Victoria and Vancouver as
well as institute new services in North Vancouver and Surrey.
Similarly, the Infant Transport Team graduated nine new members .
The Academy also increased its workshop offerings in emergency care
to Registered Nurses and Doctors, especially to those from smaller
centres who work with ambulance personnel.

20

Several events demonstrated the mutual support and effectiveness of
the Commission -Institute relationship. Minister of Health Nielson was
the guest of honour at the Infant Transport Team graduation . His

interest in and support of the Academy and its programs has been
unfailing.
We are proud to announce that this year the Emergency Health
Services Academy became the first ambulance school in Canada to
receive accreditation, at the three levels of Emergency Medical
Assistant training, by the Canadian Medical Association .
Despite a substantial reduction in Academy staff and funding, the
Academy delivered more days of instruction than any other Academy at
the Institute, making 1983-84 the most productive year to date .
Optimism hit a high point when the Commission presented the
Academy with its training requirements for 1984-85 . The new
requirements call for the development of several new programs and the
restructuring of others . These changes and improvements will assist
the Commission to attain its goal - providing optimum emergency
medical services to all British Columbians while operating in a restraint
mode. For the Academy and the Institute the nature of the new
training plan is a vote of confidence in the future.

Fire
Academy

Mission Statement
To develop and provide training programs and services consistent with
the identified needs of the Fire Commissioner and the Fire Services
Community of British Columbia.

Divisional Report
Even with fiscal restraint, the Fire Academy increased its productivity
by 41% in student training days . During the year, 62 courses were
offered, an increase of 24%, for 1,939 students, a 55% increase over
1982-83. Increased productivity was due to the introduction of courses
for Local Assistants to the Fire Commissioner and a series of Hazardous
Materials seminars.
The Fire Academy and the Office of the Fire Commissioner were able to
deliver five courses for Local Assistants, in which 98 fire service
personnel participated. Likewise, the Academy and the Office of the
Fire Commissioner co-sponsored five Hazardous Materials Phase I
seminars. Seminars were conducted in each region of the Province and
a total of 592 fire fighters, police, amb1.1lance, industrial and
govern ment personnel participated.
The Academy underwent a change organizationally. The Program
Directors' positions were deleted and a Director and a Deputy Director
were appointed . These changes consolidated the Academy as a unit
responsible for providing training to all components of the fire service.
In October, two Coordinator/Instructor positions were filled through
secondment. One secondee came from the Kamloops Fire Department
and the other from the Kelowna Fire Department.

The establishment and approval of the British Columbia Volunteer Fire
Fighter Training standards by the Attorney-General and the Fire
Commissioner in July 1983 assisted the Academy in the Development
of training curriculums for the Volunteer Fire Fighter.
Development work in the multi-media distance education modules,
'Edukits', was enhanced during the year. The 'Edukits' consist of a
videotape and a subject manual and will cover the basic fundamentals
of firefighting and apparatus, applicable to all components of the fire
service . It is a'nticipated that the first two 'Edukits' will be ready for
release by June 1984.
The property for the fire fighter training facility has been secured in the
Maple Ridge area. However, the development of the facility is still on
hold due to the restraint program of the Province.
Once again, the Academy, through contractual agreement, conducted
several training sessions for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada in
both British Columbia and Saskatchewan .
22

The dedication and work of the staff of the Academy and the Office of
the Fire Commissioner enabled the Academy to add additional courses
and seminars during the year. The increase of courses also increased
the need for course speakers. The support the Academy received from
fire departments and industry, in conducting specialized training has
been tremendous. On behalf of the Fire Academy and the Fire
Commissioner, I extend sincere thanks for their time and efforts on our
behalf.

Justice
Programs
Division

Mission Statement
To provide a range of training courses and staff development programs
and services to ensure that Corrections Branch and Court Services
Branch receive basic, advanced and management training in
accordance with respective branch policies and standards, government
policy and appropriate collective agreements.

Divisional Report
Course offerings are outlined in the section dealing with student
statistics . The Division is composed of the Corrections Academy, the
Court Services Academy and the Land Titles School. It provides
training and educational programs and services for the employees of
the Ministry of Attorney-General.

CORRECTIONS ACADEMY
The impact of current government restraint initiatives affected the
operations of the Corrections Academy this year. Recruit training was
reduced and only 'critical and essential training' was funded. Later in
the year, the restriction 'critical and essential training' was lifted and a
number of advanced programs were added to the Academy's training
plan
Despite a 30% reduction in instructional staff, a large volume of
training was completed. Activities surrounding the commencement of
the Vancouver Pretrial Services Centre were of major concern to the
Corrections Academy. Academy staff assisted with the initial
assessment centre for the selection of new staff members and also
conducted the on-site recruit training for the more than 60 new staff.
"Crisis Awareness", a new course covering hostage survival, suicide
prevention and handling emotional disturbances was delivered at five
locations across the Province. Another, "Critical Incidents", designed
to assist managers in debriefing major disturbances, was offered on
four occasions and was well received by participants. The fifth
"Designing a Curri culm (DACUM)" workshop was completed. At the
conclusion of the DACUM, a skill profile for adult institutional staff had
been completed. This will assist the Academy in the development of
more cost-effective competency based training programs.
Community Corrections courses for Probation Officers and Family
Court Counsellors were offered and dealt with such areas as mediation
and coun selling skills. A program responding to the Ministry of
Attorney-General's priorities surrounding family violence and sexual
abuse was also offered .

24

Two supervisory programs for newly appointed supervisors were
delivered and a new course was developed that focussed on financial
administration for managers.

Corrections Academy staff continue contributing to the Branch policy
advisory committee. Manpower planning consultation was again
provided to the Corrections Branch Staff Development section. A
preliminary study of the physical fitness abilities required of
Corrections Officers was undertaken and Academy staff assisted in the
implementation of new Branch policy dealing with employee
performance planning and review .
The Corrections Academy continued to provide contracted services to
the Branch in the maintenance of the Manpower Inventory of Branch
employees. The database was converted from a word-processing
system to a data-processing system and now permits effective analysis
of information. Further, ser·vices were offered to the Branch through
the provision of field 1ibrarian services and physical fitness ability
testing and consultation.

COURT SERVICES ACADEMY
While a decrease in staff and student training days occurred during the
year, the Academy experienced an increase in contracted work from
other areas, primarily in the development and delivery of new
programs.
Deputy Sheriff training commenced again with the secondment of a full
time instructor to the Academy. The first course in January, 1984 was
cancelled in mid-rebruary due to the downsizing moves of the Court
Services Branch.
A competency based on-the-job training program is being developed to
replace the Deputy Sheriff basic course formerly offered at the
Academy. Two courses for Deputy Sheriff in-field instructors were
conducted, one for Weapons Instructors and the other for Baton
Instructors.
Twelve Registrar programs were scheduled and six were conducted.
Cancellations were due to staff shortages in the registr ies,
unavailability of instructors and the Government employee labour
dispute.
Due to heavy workload on Court Registry Clerk staff, the course
schedul e was shelved. To meet the training needs the Court Services
Academy is developing a competency based on-the-job training
program which should provide participants with in-depth training and
meet Government'<; restraint and productivity measures.
Courl Servi<.:es Academy staff provided considerable administrative
support to the Young Offenders Act training program and to the Justice
of the Peace training program.
The Academy continues to offer contracted training programs for
Environment Canada, Motor Vehicle Inspectors, and Weighmasters.

25

The Academy was approached recently by the Union of B.C .
Municipalities to conduct training for By-law Enforcement Officers.
Additionally, the Superintendent of Brokers has requested training
programs on administrative law which will encompass the writing and
the conduct of hearings.

Land Titles School
To meet stringent economy measures, the Land Titles School cancelled
all courses and the coordinator of the school was laid off. However, the
Institute began working on an on-the-job training program for Land
Registry staff that will be delivered in the new fiscal year.

John Laverock
Director

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 ass-ure that Municipal Peace
Officers have a level of competence in skill , knowledge and
understanding that meets the law enforcement requirements of the
Police Act and attending regulations.

Police
Academy

Divisional Report

The philosophy engendered at the Police Academy is that training and
education, a lifelong process, continues throughout the career of an
officer. The primary objectives of all programs are to develop
individuals, both. professionally and personally.
Demands for increased community service, increased emphasis on
specialization, adoption of new technologies, acceptance of fiscal
restraint, all have contributed to new avenues for providing training
and educational opportunities for police, reserve members and civilian
support staff.
Decentralized program delivery was one way to meet many of these
needs. A variety of courses, workshops, seminars and assessment
centres were conducted Province wide, by the Academy and in
conjunction with the R.C .M . Police. These initiatives proved
cost-effective and will be continued in the new fiscal year.
An increased number of Roll Call tapes were produced, again with the
R.C.M.Police, in a further effort to upgrade all police personnel in a
cost-effective manner. This year, topics as diverse as robbery, baton
use, handcuffing techniques and spouse assault, to mention a few,
were produced and circulated to departments and detachments across
the Province.
The publication, 'Issues of Interest', is an analysis of case law decision
and related law topics. It was once again one of the most popular
projects. The only publication of its kind in Canada, specifically for
police, it is published quarterly and written by the former Director of
the Police Academy, Saanich's Chief Constable, John Post. It is widely
circulated and used at police training centres, departments, schools,
universities and colleges Canada wide.
Due to government restraint, a reduction in funding for police training
is expected in the new fiscal year. To offset this development,
additional revenue is expected to be generated through a series of job
related evening programs for tuition paying police members .
Accommodation costs for out-of-town participants will be considerably
reduced by housing members at the lnstitute's residence.
A busy schedule of Block IV and V training occurred throughout the
year . One hundred and twelve students attained Certified Constable

27

status upon completion of the Block V training. March 1984 saw an 18 month lull in Block I recruit training end with the commencement of
Class #28.
Traditionally, the bulk of training activity at the Academy has been
from the General Training Program. Economic conditions in 1983-84 in
British Columbia and across Canada brought police recruiting to a
standstill. This resulted in a reduction of student training days at the
Academy . The statistics indicate that 7,502 fewer student training days
were generated over the previous year.
Two symposiums regarding police pre-employment training were held
at the Institute under the auspices of the Academy. Several innovative
training models were addressed. It is interesting to note that statistics
introduced at the symposiums indicate that the majority of individuals
who have joined the police service in the last seven years possess
post-secondary education in addition to the basic recruitment standard
of Grade 12.
As a result of the symposiums, a proposal - that recruits entering the
General Training Program be paid at a lower salary during the initial
Blocks of training, resulting in substantial savings for municipalities,
was forwarded to Police Boards for their consideration and action .
The recruit training manual was reviewed, amended and rewritten with
a view to having it typeset. The typesetting of the police manual will
economize on the cost of paper when the manual is reproduced for new
classes. In addition, a part of the manual will be published and
distributed for training reserve/auxiliary police Province wide.
Success in policing depends on people . The salaries and benefits of
these people absorb 85% of departmental budgets. The best return on
departments' investments can be realized through individuals who are
conversant with contemporary police practices . The Advanced
Training Program is designed to meet this requirement by anticipating
changes in laws, policies, procedures and responding with appropriate
learning opportunities. More than 150 training sessions on forty-nine
different topics were held in Vancouver and around the Province.
These resulted in 7,337 student training days, an increase of 8% over
the previous year.
Pursuit driving requires skill and 'dexterity . The three day Advanced
Ta'€tical Driving Course increases Officers' awareness of both their
driving limitations and capabilities, as well as those of their vehicles.
Due to the importance oi driving competency, twenty-four courses were
conducted at the Boundary Bay driving facility.
A variety of one day advanced workshops and seminars proved
practical and popular. They were offered both on the mainland and
Vancouver Island and included Stress and the Police Family,
Psychological Profiling, Drug Seminars and Neurolinguistic Interviewing.
28

Pre-promotion exam legal update lectures had special appeal for many
promotional candidates. Program success was indicated in the higher
levels of achievement attained by program participants.
Through a contract with Employment and Immigration Canada, a third
two-week Advanced Investigations course was delivered. The program
was attended by Immigration Officers from across Canada and brought
to 48 those who have been trained through the Academy.
The Research, Development and Assessment section responds to a
range of requests for the development, evaluation and production of
course training material. In addition to meeting increased demands for
Roll Call Training video tapes, some special projects were completed.
Written materials and audio visual productions with the Young
Offenders Act were completed; Spouse Assault policy was developed
and lntercultural training was delivered. The latter were completed in
conjunction with the Vancouver Police Department.
Performance appraisal systems for the supervisory ranks of Corporal
and Sergeant were developed and circulated to the police community
for initial study and reaction. If accepted, these systems will provide a
means for recording specific observed behaviour on the job and can be
used as components of the promotional process providing an accurate
picture of job performance. Information from the systems can also be
used to validate the Supervisory Assessment Centre.
Ten assessment centres were held to determine the suitability of
ninety-five candidates. Participants ranged from those seeking initial
entry to policing to those aspiring to the junior supervisory ranks
through to Sergeants seeking promotion to Staff Sergeants.
An effort was made to promote personal growth and educational
development among graduates of both the Block program and the
Constables Advanced Program. Individuals were encouraged to
participate in the Police Advanced Certificate of Education program.
The three tiered program grants credit for courses successfully
completed at either the Academy or at the College and/or University
level. Two members of the Vancouver Police Department completed
the required courses and have been granted certificates.
An active promotion exam service for municipal departments was
provided upon request. The service involved the preparation and
marking of promotional exams .

Divisional Report
Th e Division is responsible for the business aspects of the ln stitute's
operation . Responsibilities include budgets, accounts, purchases,
employee r el ations, communications , physi cal plant and stu de nt
support for food services and accommodation.
In the area of employee relation s, the Institute negotiated a Collective
Agreement with the B .C. Government Employees ' Union coveri ng
cl erical and support staff. The contract, once again, follows the term s
and conditions in the master contract covering the Province' s unioni zed
employees. The union-exempt employees' compensation plan is
provided through the Fair Comparison method using data provided by
six benchmark institutions in the comparison process . The Inst itute
tendered th e employee benefits package to the market and was
succes sful in obtaining a 10% reduction in total premium rates for t he
various plan s by moving to anoth er carrier.
The instructional staff of the Justice Institute are seconded, wherever
possible, from the field, thus preserving the relevancy of instruction .
Support and administrative staff are employed directly by the Inst itute.
At 31 March, 1984, the Institute had a compl ement of 97.6 full time
equivalent (FTE) seconded and directly employed staff, a decrease of
12.4 FTE ' s from the previous year. Over the past two years, t he
ln stitute ' s seconded and employed staff have been reduced by 30 % to
refl ect a sli ght downt urn in student training days and in response to t he
Governm ent's restraint program .
Further efforts to increase t he effici ent use of instructional resources
are refl ected in th e ability to secure speci ali zed t rain ing contracts w ith
several ju sti ce and publ ic safety organization s not associated with the
Mini stry of A tto rn ey-General and H ealth . Revenues obtained from the

Th e In stitute Board approved the campus development plan prepared
by Wai sman, Dewar, Crout, Architects and Planners. Thi s was t he
first step in rezoning of.the lnstitute' s Point Grey campus. However ,
th e Ministry of Education stopped the proposed tran sfer of the site
from the Crown to the Justice Institute and thus no further work
regarding the appli cation for sub-division and rezoning has transpired.
30

In December, 1983, the Ministry of Education indicated that it would
discontinue funding the Institute, effective 31 March, 1984. Ministry of
Education funding of approximately $2.1 million provided for
instructional, administrative and physical facilities support to the
Institute . , The Ministry of Attorney-General was successful in
obtaining a special grant from Treasury Board for fiscal 1984-85. This,
together with prior years' surplus funds on hand at the Institute, has
led to a reduced budget of $1 .4 million for instructional, administrative and physical facilities support to the Institute for 1984-85 . Further
staff reduction s of 10 FTE' s, to the complement noted as at 31 March ,
1984, have been issued to occur in 1984-85. The foregoing took place
after the Ministry of Education had approved the lnstitute's Five Year
Educational Plan.
In the.area of new physical facilities, no progress was made during the
year in obtaining construction approval for the indoor firearms range,
expansion of the gymnasium complex, the on-site student residence or
the fire training facility at Maple Ridge. All projects have important
economic and educational advantages but the restraint program points
to further delay .
