Summary

Emergency services said a new reporting system is being finalized and minor bugs remain; the medical examiner noted year-end investigations, including one homicide and several pending deaths that could be overdoses pending toxicology results.

Emergency services staff told the Public Safety Committee they are finishing work on a new reporting system and expect to produce a detailed report with times and township breakdowns once minor bugs are resolved.

"Hopefully, today, I can get a couple of little minor bugs done, and then I can start, giving an actual report with all the times and the townships and everything," the presenter said, noting typical IT delays can affect timelines.

The medical examiner portion of the report reviewed unexpected deaths investigated during the year, noted one homicide as the last death of the year and identified several pending cases that are likely overdoses but require toxicology confirmation before being classified. The presenter cautioned that pending deaths remain inconclusive until toxicology results are returned.

No formal actions were taken; staff said a more detailed reporting breakdown will be provided when the reporting system is fully functional.
