That left OC Transpo in the lurch as it tried to adapt its routes and schedules to accommodate the protest. “During the first two weeks of the convoy protest, the OPS did not leverage the expertise of, nor collaborate with the Traffic Management unit for ongoing traffic management. The City found itself reacting to OPS requests related to traffic. Traffic Management found the situation chaotic as requests were being made of them , but they were not privy to the communications related to the traffic plan behind the requests.
A second was that police do a better job of sharing intelligence. Police can’t share confidential information it obtains from other agencies, but the auditor recommends it share what it can with city officials with the appropriate security clearance. “This will enable the City to receive more timely and detailed intelligence to aid responses to future events,” the report said.
