With little prose under each section, this article needs serious expansion.--SGGH 15:10, 2 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:OPSCST.jpg

Image:OPSCST.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:SIULOGO.jpg

The image Image:SIULOGO.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

How long will Ottawa Police Service retain police report?

How long will Ottawa Police Service retain police report from filing date? I filed police reports (I lived in Ottawa) in 1995 and 1996.

Police Brutality?

99.242.66.166 deleted a section on police brutality. Admittedly, the section was poorly written (not like an encyclopedia), but the content could be included if it was better written with less editorializing. Violent actions by police officers on and off duty have been a concern in Ottawa for many years. It's a problem on most large police services.Que-Can (talk) 00:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tone

While the article is being usefully expanded, it is taking a toll on the encyclopedic content. Wikipedia articles aren't a place to offer advice on crime prevention, especially on topics that are not unique to Ottawa. Also, the RCMP material was copyrighted.; The information is useful, but must be rewritten to express the topic using the RCMP as a source, not simply quoting without clearly attributing it (a reference isn't enough). Such quotes are in any case discouraged. Contributors must take a step away from the material to see how it fits into the encyclopedia, and not treat the article as an extension of the Ottawa Police Service community outreach.
