Introduction

The National Crime Prevention Strategy is aimed at developing communitybased responses to crime and victimization, with a particular emphasis on children and youth, Aboriginal people and women. The National Crime Prevention Strategy adopts a crime prevention through social development (CPSD) approach and targets the risk factors associated with crime and victimization.

The National Crime Prevention Strategy views police officers as key partners in this endeavour: with the police playing a catalyst role in any communitybased crime prevention program. With this in mind, Solicitor General Canada, with the assistance of the National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) and the RCMP, ran a series of crime prevention workshops in Canadian communities in 2001 and 2002—bringing police officers and community leaders together to learn about the National Crime Prevention Strategy and their respective roles in finding grassroots solutions to the problems of crime and victimization.

This manual has been prepared to assist employees of the Policing and Law Enforcement Branch (PLEB) of Solicitor General Canada and the NCPC as well as members of the RCMP, and the provincial and territorial governments, in the organization of future Crime Prevention Workshops. The information contained within this manual is based on the lessons learned from those workshops held in the last two years.

This manual is meant to serve as a guide only.

The Phases of Organizing a Crime Prevention Workshop

Based on experience to date, organizing a crime prevention workshop can be divided into 5 different phases:

Phase One: Getting Started coordinating logistics

Phase Two: Setting up devising a program

Phase Three: Preparatory Work invitations, marketing and information materials

Phase Four: Conducting the Workshop room setup, presentations and group exercises

Phase Five: Evaluating the Workshop exploring lessons learned

In order to make these phases more meaningful to the planning process, suggested timelines have been included (see table below). While the suggested lead time may not always be available, they are considered optimal for planning purposes.

Phase One: Getting Started: Coordinating Logistics for a Crime Prevention Workshop

Phase One involves coordinating the basic arrangements in order to hold a workshop. There are 4 steps:

Step 1: Choose a location and date for the workshop

The first step is to set a date and location for the workshop. Discussions among Policing and Law Enforcement Branch (PLEB) representatives, regional members of the National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) (a list of directors and coordinators can be found in Appendix A) and the local RCMP detachment and provincial counterparts (a list of FPT members is located in Appendix B) should help "zero in" on areas with the greatest need as well as the necessary infrastructure to run a workshop. Because cost is always a factor, it can be helpful to choose a location and date when a workshop can "piggyback" on another activity in the area (for example, a CACP conference or a provincial crime prevention association meeting).

The necessary facilities would include:

• a room sufficiently large to hold up to 50 people with tables and chairs;

• a cafeteria or food services company to provide coffee and lunch for the group; and

• a motel/hotel sufficiently large to house up to 50 guests.

You may wish to choose a couple of dates to ensure that your building facilities and accommodations will both be available at the same time.

Step 2: Make preliminary arrangements for all logistical requirements

Once a location and date have been set, the PLEB representative, together with the assistance of the local RCMP detachment and/or regional NCPC staff, should explore booking the workshop facilities and reserving accommodations.

Step 3: Develop a list of potential participants

The PLEB representative should ask the RCMP detachments, the NCPC community coordinator and the provincial representative to develop a list of invitees for participation: this should include police and community members active or interested in crime prevention, drug awareness and school liaison.

Step 4: Begin marketing

Once you have your draft list of potential participants, it will be important to get the word out that a workshop is being planned. The PLEB representative should ask local RCMP detachments in the chosen area and the NCPC community coordinator to make phone calls to local groups, organizations, police services etc to let people know that a workshop is being organized with more details to come. This approach will create interest and allow people to plan around dates—particularly if travel is involved.

Phase Two: Setting the Program

Now that you have completed the basics, it is time to focus on setting the program. There are 3 steps in this phase:

4

•

• Step 5: Identify topics for discussion • Initial brainstorming of topics of discussion can take place • between PLEB, NCPC and the RCMP with input from

provincial counterparts. To assist you with this, a sample • agenda is provided in Appendix C. Previously, there was • tremendous interest in the National Crime Prevention • Strategy's grants and contributions program: how the program

de works, how to apply, how to make a successful application, • etc. As well, there was significant interest in increased

• Aboriginal content in the workshops.

• Evaluations from the previous workshops provided a number • of suggestions for future topics for workshops. For ease of • reference, those suggestions are found in Appendix D.

• Step 6: Identify and coordinate speakers for the workshop • •

Once you have a basic idea of topics, you can come up with suggestions for speakers. In the past, the PLEB representative,

• the NCPC community coordinator and a member of the local • RCMP detachment conducted the majority of the workshops. • In addition to this approach, you may also want to consider • including community representatives from areas where NCPC • projects are underway. In addition to established topics of • discussion, you may want to invite the provincial/ territorial • colleague to outline provincial efforts and programs in crime

• prevention.

• •

Step 7: Identify support needs for the workshop • Now it's time to think about what you'll need to run the 411 workshop. Will you be giving a PowerPoint presentation? • If group exercises are planned, will you need flipcharts and • markers? The PLEB representative should make a list of

• support equipment needs and materials and check with other

•speakers to see what they will require. The PLEB

•representative should then contact the site for the workshop and determine whether the required equipment is available on-site or whether you'll have to bring the equipment with you.

• And don't forget to inquire about tables and chairs. • • 5 9

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Phase Three: Preparatory Work

It's now 3-8 weeks before the workshop, and time for the real preparatory work. There are five additional steps in this phase of workshop planning.

Step 8: Invite participants

Invitations need not be formal. In fact, a phone call would suffice. Decide who among the organizers from PLEB, NCPC and RCMP would be most appropriate to take on the task of invitations and divide up the list. It is important that potential participants are informed of the workshop well in advance to ensure a good turn-out, so try to invite participants 6-8 weeks before the date of the workshop.

Step 9: Engage in more formal marketing of the workshop

It is now time to move beyond word of mouth. Don't rely solely on your phone invitations to create interest in the workshop. And don't miss out on a golden opportunity to share some information on community crime prevention and the National Crime Prevention Strategy with the public. The local RCMP detachment or NCPC community coordinator should contact local or regional media outlets (radio, television and/or newspaper) and inform them about the workshops—ask them to promote the workshops and community crime prevention by doing a story; invite them to sit in on part or all of the workshop.

You may also want to send out some basic information "flyers" to surrounding area RCMP detachments (a sample information flyer can be found in Appendix E). Ask the RCMP to post the signs in 5 key spots in their locale. Make sure the flyers include a single phone number (the RCMP contact where the workshop will take place) so that potential participants can get more information, and so the organizers can keep track of the number of potential participants (this is particularly important for keeping track of hospitality/accommodation requirements).

6

i te

• • • Step 10: Prepare speaking notes; key messages

• It is highly recommended that all speakers prepare their • presentations/speaking notes at least 4 weeks in advance of • the workshop. This will allow time to also prepare

accompanying information materials, as well as share your • presentation with other speakers and make any changes, as • needed.

•or

When preparing your speaking notes, you will need to think

• about what your key messages should be—what are the

•"nuggets" of information you want to leave your audience

•with? Appendix F provides some suggested key messages.

• Step 11: Prepare information materials • • In previous workshops, people clearly indicated that they

wanted information handouts. This means having copies of

•your PowerPoint presentation or overheads made in advance,

•so that people can follow along and make notes as they go. It may also mean having a variety of NCPC promotional

• materials available onsite as well as local information provided 111 by police services and the Province. You should also prepare • an attendance form to hand out, so that you have a record of

how many people attended and contact names/addresses for • future workshops or further information (a sample attendance • sheet is provided in Appendix G). This is particularly • important for hospitality expenses. You will also need to

• prepare an evaluation form, so that future workshops can be

• improved upon (a sample evaluation form is provided in

• Appendix H). Aim to draft these materials at least 3 weeks in •

advance, so that there is ample time to share with the other speakers, make changes as necessary and have copies made.

Step 12: Plan your room set-up

You will want to spend a bit of time thinking about how to set up the room for the workshop. People want to be able to write and take notes, but you want the atmosphere to be as relaxed as possible. Appendix I offers some examples of room configurations.

Phase Four: Conducting the Workshop

Step 13: Confirm your logistics

The PLEB representative should contact the local RCMP detachment where the workshop is being held to get a final tally on the number of participants about a week in advance. The PLEB representative should then share the estimated number of participants with the accommodation facilities as well as the food service provider for the workshop. Be prepared for a number of participants who show up without preregistering—you might want to order up to 5 extra meals, "just in case".

It would be helpful if the PLEB representative could fax the desired room configuration (and a reminder about any other equipment you ordered back in step 7 to the building facility where the workshop is being held about a week before the workshop.

Step 14: Make a final check on the facilities

Try to check the room set up the night before the workshop begins—just to make sure that the configuration is right and the equipment is in place and in working order.

8

• • • • Step 15: Conducting the workshop

• The day has arrived and it is time for the workshop to begin. The room is set up, your support equipment is running, your

• handouts are in place and you're ready to go. • • Start the day with introductions of speakers and by giving • participants an idea of how the day will unfold. Don't forget to • pass around your attendance sheet.

• Be aware of your audience—if it seems like people are

•confused, pause and ask for questions. And if you sense that the energy in the room is fading, stop and take a 5 minute break. It is also suggested that you make the workshop

• interactive with the audience actively participating in • discussions and sharing their own experiences with the group. • Try to leave at least 10 minutes at the end of the day for • participants to fill out an evaluation. These are important to • improving the quality of workshops as well as identifying • topics for future workshops.

411 And before you pack your bags for home, put together all your

• receipts for travel, hospitality and accommodation, so that they can be processed upon your return.

• Phase Five: Evaluation

Step 16: Hold a short de-brief session with other organizers

Before retu rning home, it would be useful to hold a debriefing session with the other organizers of the workshop. You might want to discuss how you think the workshop went. What went

• particularly well? Was there anything you would want to • change for next time? Was the room setup appropriate? Did • you have the right equipment—would you want something

else next time? It's important to review all of these issues • while the workshop is still fresh in everyone's mind. • • • • 9 9

• • • • • • • • ' • •

Step 17: Review and summarize evaluation forms

Your evaluation forms are key to finetuning the workshops and giving you the participants' perspectives on what worked and what didn't. It's important to take the time to review the evaluations and do a tally of the quantitative responses.

Step 18: Submit receipts to appropriate personnel within your organization

Try to submit all receipts within 2 weeks of the workshop.

Step 19: Submit briefing note to appropriate personnel

Once you've had time to discuss the workshop with your coorganizers and review the evaluations, it would be appropriate to prepare a briefing note on the workshop for your manager, so that this information can be shared with other personnel in your organization.

Step 20: Follow up and begin again

Congratulations! You have now successfully organized and conducted a crime prevention workshop! Now it's time to scout locations for the next workshop, beginning once more with step one. But don't forget to follow up with past participants to complete the evaluation requirements. For example, you should contact a percentage of the participants, 3-6 months postworkshop to find out how many people/organizations developed project proposals for the National Crime Prevention Strategy or became involved in community crime prevention activities following their experience in the workshops. This information will demonstrate the impact of the workshops.

I.

• • • • • What traditional cultural systems were effective in • assisting and supporting their communities—can they

• be shown as models? • • More information on "what's new" to keep us abreast of national developments • An excellent workshop, but I feel that some time should

• be spent on discussing the more fundamental social • issues that breed crime in the young, e.g., youth • unemployment and frustration over the lack of any job • prospects for many young people sets the stage for anti-

social behavior, especially among those at the lower end • of the economic scale. Show how many of the • programs can help address these issues • • Volunteer management session • • Presentations from people who have benefited from •

crime prevention programs

• • More exposure to programs available in small communities-300-1500 population . It is important to teach those police officers in the • community across the country what is available to them • in Crime Prevention • • More ideas and suggestions on new ways to deal with • problems • O • 0 • • • • • • • • • • • 27
