Hi Betty,
I had hoped I could contribute to this information data but I suppose since my son was shot/died by police that this eliminates my perspective as it has been almost eight years since this happened. I continue to seek ways to change policing for those in crisis and with mental illness so we can help and not kill our loved ones. We are hosting a Memorial for Ontarians Killed by Police at Queens Park on Wed. Oct 7th. We will be presenting a petition with MPP Jagmeet Singh to change the Police Act to include testing of all police for illegal drugs and steroids to the Legislative Assembly. We are getting a lot of support for this action which may save lives.
I would like to be kept up to date on any surveys done to enhance police empathy for the mentally ill in our province.
We keep trying to make positive change....Affected Families of Police Homicide.
