Patron Conduct Policy

Overview

Every member or visitor as a patron conducting business at Cockburn ARC should be provided with a safe and peaceful environment and be treated courteously, respectfully and professionally by City employees during such interactions.

Consistent with the reasonable expectations of a patron, every City employee while in the lawful performance of their duties is entitled to a safe workplace and be secure from disruptive, threatening, or violent behaviour by a patron.

Patrons and City employees have the right to be free from acts or threats of disruptive behaviour and/or physical violence, including intimidation, harassment, and/or coercion, which involve or affect the facility or provision of services.

Cockburn ARC cannot tolerate any patron, acting individually or with others, who obstructs or disrupts service activity, or any other workplace activity held on City property.

Offensive patron conduct must be addressed promptly and effectively to protect City employees and the public and to correct or remove such offensive behaviour.

Definitions 

No patron may engage in offensive conduct whilst at Cockburn ARC. Offensive conduct includes, but is not limited to the following behaviours:

  1. Disruptive Behaviour Disruptive patron behaviour is inappropriate behaviour that interferes with the functioning and orderly administration of a City facility or the provision of a municipal service. It hinders or prevents City employees from carrying out their professional responsibilities. It is important that City employees address disruptive behaviour promptly. If left unaddressed, disruptive behaviour typically continues to escalate, resulting in negative consequences for the individual as well as others. Examples include yelling, using profanity, waving arms or fists, verbally abusing others, and refusing reasonable requests for identification;
  2. Threatening Behaviour Threatening patron behaviour includes physical actions short of actual contact/injury (e.g., moving closer aggressively), general oral or written threats to people or property (“You better watch your back” or “I’ll get you”) as well as implicit threats (“You’ll be sorry” or “This isn’t over”); and
  3. Violent Behaviour Violent patron behaviour includes any physical assault, with or without weapons, behaviour that a reasonable person would interpret as being potentially violent (e.g., throwing things, pounding on a desk or door, or destroying property), or specific threats to inflict physical harm (e.g., a threat to shoot a named individual)
  4. Failure to Comply Failure to comply with reasonable directions, requests, directives, expectations, orders or specified terms and conditions from a City employee or representative acting in an official capacity.
  5. Inspections of Patrons and Items For security purposes, the City has the right to inspect all patrons and items on or near their persons such as bags, eskies, packs, mobile devices, etc., before permitting entry to Cockburn ARC or as a condition of remaining within the facility.
Corrective Action and Suspension

Corrective Action

If a patron violates this policy, a City employee will take corrective action by telling the individual that their behaviour violates the Cockburn ARC Patron Conduct Policy and that it must stop. If the individual continues the offensive conduct, they will be asked to leave the facility or be denied service. If the patron refuses to comply, security and/or the police will be called to remove the patron from the premises. Any corrective action against a patron shall be set forth in an incident report form completed by the City employee or Security within 24 hours and provided to the employee’s supervisor.

Suspension

If corrective action was unsuccessful or the offensive conduct warrants a more severe sanction the actions listed in Table 1 will be used as a guideline by a Cockburn ARC Supervisor or Team Leader to determine appropriate suspension periods. The Supervisor or Team Leader will then submit a recommendation to a Coordinator for review and approval. 

A Supervisor or Team Leader recommendation to suspend or prohibit a person from entering the Cockburn ARC will be based on the guidelines in Table 1. Any suspension handed down is at the discretion of the Coordinator, who may consider context, witness accounts and available CCTV footage when determining an appropriate suspension.

Suspension of a patron previously suspended for offensive conduct shall not be for a period less than 30 days.

If the offensive conduct of a patron is repeated or is of such a reprehensible nature that a suspension greater than 60 days is in order, then the matter shall be referred directly to the Centre Manager and the Centre Manager will determine the suspension period, including but not limited to a permanent ban from the facility.
