Black, Muslim women have been the target of a string of verbal and physical attacks in Edmonton in recent years. One of the victims said Edmonton police initially discouraged her from filing a report, an allegation Nur flagged to the committee Thursday.

The resources that police forces in Nova Scotia need to protect the public — and how they'll pay for those resources — will soon be finalized through new ...

Campbell said in a commission interview that the lack of MOUs is "awful" and stood out to him when he arrived in Nova Scotia. we meet that demand every year through the taxes that we raise," Kogon said Thursday. Kogon pointed out that any new cost agreement should go both ways, and ensure the Mounties pay when they use municipal services like Amherst's major crime unit team. "It's certainly normal for an agency like the size of Kentville to wonder will we exist 10 years from now? They will be presented to the justice minister for review, with approved standards eventually becoming regulations under the Police Act. "It certainly could be a driver in costs, which you know any municipality is not looking forward to. According to a tracking document released through the inquiry, the RCMP logged 84 requests for help from municipal police forces between January and December 2021. Since the RCMP started tracking service requests, some municipal forces have told the commission they've either been refused those special services or made to wait days. Some even said some of the decisions were made on the golf course," Moore said. Campbell noted that the RCMP had no way to recoup those costs because the Mounties can't bill municipalities directly. "But it's the mid-levels, you know things like the robbery we had, looking for a dog. "If you were to have a murder in this town, it can quickly go into the millions of dollars.
