The Guardian dog of the British Columbia Police says that the Vancouver Police Board must analyze the accusation of an officer that arrest fees have been issued as part of the “Barrage of the Task Force” initiative of the mayor in the center of the East.
An email from the anonymous complain is on the agenda of the meeting of Thursday of the Board, together with a corresponding letter from the office of the police complaint asking for the Board to take measures.
The Commissioner of Complaints says that he received a complaint from the VPD member on March 8, qualifying the bombardment of the working group as a “politically motivated repression” and saying that those in charge have been “establishing quotas.”
The police guardian dog says that legally, the Board must now initiate an investigation or a study, ask the chief Adam Palmer to set an investigation or dismiss the complaint with reasons.
Vancouver’s mayor and police chief, Adam Palmer, jointly announced a long -term operation to dismantle organized drug crimes and attack the predatory criminals in the center of Vancouver in the Eastside. As Chad Pawson reports from CBC, it is part of Ken Sim’s vision for the future of the DTES.
The Vancouver Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comments on the accusations.
Sim launched the task force bar in February, promising a long -term operation “to dismantle organized crime networks and attack predatory criminals in the center of Eastside and beyond.”
An update last month said that weapons seizures increased 258 percent in the center of the city in the first four weeks of the task force and that the police seized 197 weapons and made 204 arrests in a penal code, an average of approximately seven per day.
The complainant’s email tells them that they were taught that the officers had discretion to decide whether to charge people.
“But now it is clear that they do not value the discretion and decision making of their officers, and [they’re] Quota configuration. I don’t think this is legal or correct, “says email.
