Table 3: Details on Transfer Payments Programs
Name of Transfer Payment Program: National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS) |
Start Date: 1998/1999 |
End Date: Ongoing |
Description: The National Crime Prevention Strategy, which is jointly managed with the provinces and territories and administered by the National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) provides national leadership on effective and cost-efficient ways to prevent and reduce crime by addressing known risk factors in high risk populations and places. The NCPC works in
close collaboration with key partners, including police, academics, and communities, to support the development and implementation of evidence-based crime prevention projects, and the dissemination and use of practical knowledge. |
Strategic Outcome: A Safe and Resilient Canada |
Expected results: Further to the repositioning of the NCPC in June 2007, it is expected that activities under the NCPS will lead to positive changes in risk and protective factors among high risk children and youth; youth at risk of gang involvement; youth at risk of drug involvement; and high risk offenders returning to the community. Ultimately, it is
expected that these changes will lead to a reduction in offending among these targeted populations. The NCPC is currently revising its Accountability, Risk and Audit Framework (ARAF) to reflect these new directions. |

Name of Transfer Payment Program: First Nations Policing Program (FNPP) |
Start Date: 1991/1992 |
End Date: Ongoing |
Description: Under the First Nations Policing Policy (FNPP), Public Safety negotiates, administers and monitors tripartite agreements for policing services in First Nations communities. These policing services are culturally appropriate and responsive to the particular needs of First Nations and Inuit communities and are cost-shared 52% by Canada and 48%
by the province/territory. Presently, Public Safety has 1,217 Aboriginal police officers under the FNPP and 168 tripartite agreements are in place covering 318,143 people or 71.9% of the on-reserve population of Canada. |
Strategic Outcome: A Safe and Resilient Canada |
Expected results: Enhanced accessibility to professional police services in First Nations communities; Aboriginal policing matters receive enhanced collaboration from First Nations and the provinces/territories. |

Name of Transfer Payment Program: Joint Emergency Preparedness Program (JEPP) |
Start Date: 1980 |
End Date: Ongoing |
Description: Contributions to enhance the national capability to manage all types of emergencies and ensure a reasonably uniform emergency response and recovery capacity across Canada. National capabilities are enhanced through training activities, the purchase of emergency response equipment and joint emergency planning. |
Strategic Outcome: A safe and resilient Canada |
Expected results: JEPP's ultimate goal is to enhance the national emergency response capacity to meet emergencies of all types by providing contributions, on a cost-shared basis, to provinces and territories in order to: increase the number of emergency preparedness equipment and personnel to respond to all emergencies; ensure emergencies plans are updated,
encourage partnerships and the dissemination of information to facilitate emergency response among stakeholders; ensure the wise investment in critical infrastructure protection activities involving provincial/territorial/municipal governments; and promote public awareness of emergency management through JEPP. Outputs used to achieve JEPP's ultimate goal are: the annual update
instructions to provinces and territories; the JEPP manual and funding criteria/guidelines; the annual provincial and territorial progress reports; audit reports and the project related press releases. |
