Grants and Contributions:

By the end of the project, it is expected that a minimum of 75 (33%) frontline officers will be trained in SFST, 27 will have received SFST refresher training, and one will be DRE-certified. Short-term outcomes: RCMP will be trained in SFST; new initiatives and curriculum are developed to meet the unique needs of Yukon; implementation of a national standardized data collection approach for drug-impaired driving. Mid-term outcomes: augmenting SFST resources and training will mitigate risks associated with drug-impaired driving; drug-impaired driving charges will increase due to increased training in detection; increased collaboration with partners such as First Nations and Highways and Public Works; improved tracking of data related to law enforcement training and use of Attorney General of Canada approved drug screeners; improved understanding of trends in drug-impaired driving incidents and enforcement of drug-impaired driving laws. Long-term outcomes: 33%-50% of RCMP “M” Division will be trained in SFST and “Introduction to Drug Impaired Driving”; create safer roads; and a safe and resilient Canada by enhancing efforts to combat serious and organized crimes.

The third amendment is to revise the project budget based on Yukon’s request to re-profile funds from the 2021-22 fiscal year into subsequent years, adjust funding levels for the remaining years of the project, and update contact information. The recipients wish to further amend the Original Agreement for the purpose of reprofiling funds from FY2021-22 to FY2024-25 by adding $57,064.28 to the cost category Public Awareness and Education Costs without altering the total Public Safety project budget.
