Introduction to Jaauee and Directions
Aa with other educational institutions, the Justice Institute bas been
hampered in its current ope rat ion by provincial budget uncertainty.
In the Institute' s case the situation is compounded by the fact the
majority of students are funded by government ministries.
These
ministries have likewise been frustrated in their ability to plan and
act. These factors, accompanied by the continuing call for restraint,
have left little room for planned growth (as per Justice Institute
Phase III Report) in the current fiscal year.
The contractual relationships between the Justice Institute and its
clients is evolving and is unique in British Columbia's College and
Institute system. Recently it was the subject of a thorough study,
the contents of which have yet to be shared with the Institute. With
no precedent in any education jurisdiction to help point the direct ion, there is an an element of pioneering, of breaking new ground, in
everything that occurs in connection with the Institute. This can be
put into the perspective that the 5 year length of the planning period
(1983-88) equates with the age of the Institute (1978-83).
Regarding the "First Future" identified for the Institute in the
strategic plan, much of the five year future is dependent upon the
contractual relationships between the Institute and its clients
(Police Services Branch, Correct ions Branch, Court Services Branch,
Emergency Health Services Commission, Fire Commissioner's Office, Land
Title Branch). These contracts are negotiated annually and the lack
of extended commitments, particularly during a period of restraint,
seriously inhibits the Institute's ability to do long range planning.
Jn continuing to meet the particular training and educational needs of
its client groups, the Institute requires some specialized facility
development to proceed as planned, namely the indoor firearms range,
the gymnasium expansion, the on-campus student residence and the outdoor burn site at Haney (see appendix 3 - Facilities in 5 Year Plan).
Additionally, the three possible futures of the Justice Institute, as
enumerated in the Strategic Plan, are dependent upon a response from
the Ministry of Education. For the Institute much rests on the determination by the Ministry of Education of the role it wishes the
Justice Institute, as a member of post-secondary educational network
in the Province, to fulfill over the next five years and particularly
regarding the "Third Future".
Jn addition to its major contract obligations, the Justice Institute
aees its future in tenna of taking on an expanded role within the
post-secondary College and Institute educ at ion system. The development and offering of certificate and diploma programs in Justice, Fire
Science and Emergency Medical Technology, as described in the
Jnstitute's aecond and third "futures", will be a major initiative
area in 1983/4.

PAGE #2
OBJICTJYES ARD ACTJOll STIATECJES, 1983-1984
s~ary

The emphasis of the Justice Jnstitute's Operationd Plan for 1983/84
is to continue meeting the terms of the contractual arrangements with
client groups. (Academic Plans attached as Appendices 1 through 5)
Jn addition, the Institute will develop a marketing strategy in an
attempt to increase revenue from other sources. As vel 1, the Institute will actively pursue measures to reduce training costs for its
major clients, particularly through program development innovation.
Finally, if and when the Institute becomes involved in offering
certificate and diploma programs, it will be expanding the existing
infrastructure to accomodate the new programs.
The operational activities for 1983 - 84 are identified hereunder and
are related to the goals and objectives of the Ministry of Education
as per the Strategic Plan.
A)

Governance of the Justice Institute
Base Objectives
- No action strategies for base objectives.
Alternative Objective - AS
A5

To have a Program Advisory Committee for each justice and
public safety certificate and diploma program, (ie Justice,
Fire Science and Emergency Medical Technology) composed of
individuals from the justice and public safety co11DDunities,
from post-secondary educational organizations and from the
Justice Institute.

Action strategy for alternative objective A5 will be implemented
upon Ministry of Education designation. Specifics of implementation will be dependent on terms of reference given to Justice
Institute and on system wide negotiation. This is particularly
the case for Justice Programs.

Juatice Jnatitute'• lole in PrDYincial eo.prehenaiveneaa
- Base objective B2.
B 2

As a provincial resource for justice and public safety
training and education, to serve the identified needs of
other interested clients (Ministry of Environment
Conservation Officer Service, Indian and Northern Affairs
Canada, Solicitor General, etc.) in accordance with
negotiated contracts.

Action strategy to increase contract revenue by 5%.
The Justice Institute will develop a marketing strategy to
attract new contractual clients. This strategy will be reviewed
by the Board and approved for implementation.
No additional resources are required to carry out this
objective.
- Base objective BJ.

B3

As a provincial institution, to provide public programs on
justice and public safety issues.

Action strategy to maintain level of public participation at
1982/83 level.
The Justice Institute will review its Community Programs
offerings and include this area in a marketing strategy.
- Alternative objective B4
B 4

As an educational institute, to offer Certificate and
Diploma programs in Just ice, Fire Science and Emergency
Medical Technology. ("Second Future")

This objective area will be developed only as a result of the
Ministry of Education's response to the Strategic Plan where
support is indicated for the "Second Future".
Twenty-one point program proposals will be

83/4 Justice Program - Year One (implemented 84/5)
84/5 Justice Program - Year Two (implemented 85/6)
84/5 Fire Science Certificate Program (implemented 85/6)
86/7 Emergency Medical Technology Certificate Program
(implemented 87/8)
The resources required are noted in Appendix 2-Budget Summary in
the 5 Year Plan. The performance measures will be the number of
students enrolled in each program area.

PAGE #4
The Teaources TequiTed fol' these program areas as noted in
Appendix 2 - Budget Summary of the Strategic Plan, are in excess
of those available as per the specified aaaumptiona.
The
Justice Institute anticipates auch resources being made available only by way of transferring the program area to the Justice
Institute from another institution, along with the attendant
dollar resources. This is particularly the case in the Justice
Programs area.
- Alternative objective 85.
B5

As the provincial institution designated for coordinating
Justice, Fire Science and Emergency Medical Technology
programs, to put in place a strategy for rationalizing the
development and delivery of these program areas in the
province. ("Third Future")

The action strategies are dependent on the designation by the
Ministry of Education of the Justice Institute as the provincial
institution responsible for coordinating these program areas.
Action strategies would then have to be developed according to
the Terms of Reference identified to carry out the mandate. The
Justice Insititue sees the necessity for system-wide collaboration and negotiation.
