[news] Pivot Critical of Solicitor-General's Proposed Police Audit

[Resist!ca]

"Pivot Legal Society's position is that the audit announced yesterday is not the audit of the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) requested by the Police Complaint Commissioner. Instead, it is a general review of all municipal police forces, a review that has been under discussion for almost a year, and is too broad to address effectively the specific problems with the VPD identified in (Independent Police) Commissioner (Dirk) Ryneveld's report. In particular, Ryneveld called for a focused investigation of systemic issues of non-cooperation, mismanagement, and rights violations specific to the VPD, and the new audit will not achieve that objective."
