Toronto Police Service Reformation

I think the problem is I am unsure of what you want?

Your saying that we should cut funds to the police as Crime is to low? That crime can increase a bit, its not a big deal if it does?

or that the funds have helped to keep crime down?

Or frankly the level of funds to the police have no relation to crime levels?

If that is the case, then saying police budget should be reduced as crime is low has no meaning, apart from "I want them to have less money"


I am in fan of controlling police spending but I dont think it should be based on lower crime rates because I think One of the major reason why Toronto has low crime rates is because it has a good police force. I think if Crime is going down, then we should keep at it :)

The drop in crime rates across North American over the past 20 years has been entirely independent of spending on police. There is absolutely no correlation found between spending on police, and crime rates, in any study that I'm aware of. The factors that have been correlated to falling crime rates have been things like removing lead from gasoline and paint, and increasing in day-care, child-care, and youth mental health programs. If we addressed some more of the causes of crime such as we did with the atmospheric factors and mental health factors, we could have a much more significant impact on crime rates, and at a far lower cost than simply spending the money on policing.

Of course it also happens to be the right thing to do morally, but that's never really a consideration at any level of government now, is it?

Lead paint as a cause of crime? I would have thought that the change of youth behaviour to that of staying home on their electronics rather than going out partying, drinking, hanging out with mates and having sex would have a greater reduction in crime.
 
Public invited to provide input on

The Toronto Police Service is modernizing its policing model. Part of that effort includes assessing the Service’s organizational culture – the values, beliefs and behaviours that shape how Toronto Police Service members do their work and interact with the community.

"As we modernize, we are talking to our members about what they think we, as a Service, do well and where we can improve. It’s also important for us to continue the conversation with the community that helped inform the creation of our Action Plan: The Way Forward. We are inviting the public to share their views either by attending roundtable discussions or filling out an online survey so we can get their input during this assessment process," explained Deputy Chief Barbara McLean.

The Service has hired MNP, a Canadian professional services firm, to complete the organizational culture assessment. An important part of the assessment is offering the opportunity for community members across the city to provide their input, either in person or by survey.

The public will be able to provide input via an online survey available at the following link: Organizational Culture Surveyor participate in a facilitated roundtable that will be held in various locations across Toronto.

Session #1: Rexdale Community Hub, 21 Panorama Court, Toronto, January 23, 2018, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

About the Action Plan: The Way Forward
Mandated to look beyond the way policing is currently done in Toronto, the Transformational Task Force (TTF) proposed a modernized policing model for the city that is innovative, sustainable, and affordable. The model will place communities at its core, be intelligence-led, optimize the use of resources and technology, and embrace partnerships as a means of enhancing capacity and capability. The final report contains 32 recommendations and was accepted by the Toronto Police Services Board in February, 2017 as the Service’s Business Plan for the next three years.

Absolutely. Lead, even at low levels, can cause brain damage; the type of damage that makes people more prone to emotion escalation (quick to anger) and a less responsive to logic (more spur-of-the-moment behaviour, less planned). Borderline situations which may have deescalated in healthy individuals may instead cause a violent incident.

This has a measurable impact over the population as a whole; but is far from the sole contributor to crime.

Lead paint was problematic because lead, apparently, tastes sweet. So little kids with developing brains had a bad habit of licking the walls or eating paint chips.

These two clowns need to be fired from the police force. Unless someone put a gun their heads and forced them to eat the marijuana edibles. What an embarrassment to the city.

Toronto cops suspended after consuming marijuana edibles while on duty:

https://www.cp24.com/news/toronto-c...juana-edibles-while-on-duty-sources-1.3780477

Sources told CP24 over the weekend that the two cops allegedly consumed the marijuana edibles while on duty. The pair called for help after one of the officers ended up in a tree, the sources said.

A female officer responding to the scene reportedly slipped and sustained a serious head injury.

It is not clear where the officers got the marijuana edibles from but sources said investigators are looking into whether they were stolen during a dispensary raid.

It's funny, because even the fact that the public makes itself look very ignorant by pointing fingers at TPS for maybe a poor investigation. Clearly, the public is not well versed on how some serial killers function. First off, Bruce is a sexual sadist, likely a conditional sexual sadist. And he just didn’t "recently" start killing people. He was at the height of his "career" when arrested. Anyone who knows a bit about Forensic Psychiatry will tell you that it's highly unlikely he started killing in his 60's or 50's. He has been doing this for many many years and likely always within the gay village. It's not new.
