I'd like to start a thread on the current state and necessary reformation of the TPS. Those that have known me for a while know this is a bit a sea-change for me, but with one attempted murder conviction and five officers charged this week, plus costs per officers skyrocketing, I believe a reformation is needed. A few topics....
1) Creation of a Traffic Enforcement unit, very similar to Vancouver's traffic authority http://vancouver.ca/police/recruiting/traffic-authority/ Costing half that of a TPS constible, a TTA (Toronto Traffic Authority) officer could cover speeding, auto and bicycle use enforcement. At an equal budget, we could have a lot more of them. They could have equal powers to that of the current Parking Enforcement officers, or be fully armed and sworn officers like the traffic department of the NYPD.
2) Tasers and de-escalation training for all officers.
