Often; I know that in the draft policy that was ultimately adopted as a policy by the TPSB, the reviews will take place annually, which I think is a positive. I actually think that because of the way in which technology progresses, and the quantity of data that can be collected and utilized, even over the course of a year, that in practice, in a perfect world, would not be enough. Of course, reviews and audits take resources and time. I recognize that there are some practical limitations there.
But that's one police force in Canada. There are other police forces that we already know are using algorithmic policing technologies and are not engaging in these reviews, at least not to the extent that we are aware of publicly. There isn't necessarily the public oversight or transparency available.
So I think the TPSB policy is a step forward. It is a positive step, but even then I think it's not enough. There's still a lot that could be done. I think to the extent that the federal government could be involved in establishing some form of guidelines, and then of course oversight for federal-level police forces, that would be a positive step.
