Report CL 21-04 Subject: Appointment of Municipal Law Enforcement Officers Date: April 29, 2004 Page 2 Background: Please be advised that the City retains three Municipal Law Enforcement Officers whose duties are to enforce the by-laws of the Corporation of the City of Pickering. Additionally, we retain two part-time Parking Control Officers whose duties are to enforce the City's Parking By-law. One of our Municipal Law Enforcement Officer positions is vacant. In anticipation of our increased volume of work during the spring and summer months, we have seconded Brad Suckling from his Parking Control Officer position to the Municipal Law Enforcement Officer I position to assist with the workload. Karen Wiersma has been hired to fill in for Brad Suckling during his secondment. Karen commences her employment with the City on May 3, 2004. Pursuant to Sections 15(1) and (2) of the Police Services Act, Council may appoint persons to enforce the by-laws of the municipality and municipal law enforcement officers as peace officers for the purpose of enforcing municipal by-laws. Attachment one to this report is a by-law which confines Karen Wiersma's authority to the enforcement of the Parking By-law only. Attachment two to this report is a by-law which expands Brad Suckling's authority to the enforcement of the by-laws of the Corporation of the City of Pickering.
