Most Anticipated Public Safety Challenges

This assessment has identified the most likely public safety issues/challenges that are anticipated, requiring the attention of the Windsor Police Service. These need to be recognized and acknowledged if any corresponding course of action is to be successful at establishing and maintaining safety, security, and general public order. These include:

LOITERING AND DISORDERLY CONDUCT

Based on reviewing the proposed site and the physical circumstances that exist, there would be some discernible risk of loitering and disorderly behaviour. Loitering represents something often correlated with disorderly conduct. The risk for both activities therefore needs to be addressed properly as the store becomes operational. Unlike other cannabis retail store locations situated elsewhere throughout the city, loitering risk, while a possibility, is considered to have a low probability of occurring in this particular setting. Windsor Police will certainly be responsive to this through regular patrols and incident responses but the owner also needs to maintain regular observation of this space during operating hours to ensure safety.

TRAFFIC CONGESTION SAFE VEHICULAR ACCESS

The site’s access appears to be achievable from either Provincial or Cabana Road, which will help to alleviate most traffic problems. There could be issues when the store first opens or during any promotional events associated with the store. Special attention to traffic congestion and flow may be warranted in such circumstances.

Summary of Police Incident Data

An examination of police incident response data within the immediate area was reviewed and the data does not reveal any overt concerns.
