TORONTO — Some of Canada's largest police associations pledged Friday to work to end what they called an 'unacceptable wave of violence' following the killings of five police officers in four months.
TORONTO — Some of Canada's largest police associations pledged Friday to work to end what they called an"unacceptable wave of violence" following the killings of five police officers in four months.
Mark Baxter, president of the Police Association of Ontario, said his association estimates that there is a shortage of 2,000 to 2,500 officers in police organizations across the province. The push for more officer resources is at odds with critics' calls to defund police in favour of redirecting money to community initiatives that aim to address root causes of violence.
"The solution is not to provide the police with more money for new officers, body scanners or training. It is to de-task the police and to redirect funding into those services that will actually protect, serve and increase the public safety of Black people, and everyone," the not-for-profit community legal clinic wrote.
