Yes. Technology was mentioned. I referred to it briefly in my opening comments. I think it's important to consider some of the changes that have occurred and to what extent we can now rely on technology, whereas maybe we couldn't in the seventies or eighties.
The fact is that there are very inexpensive technologies available today. Whether it's premises or properties, they can be easily monitored by video equipment that provides clear images. The proliferation of cellphones that have photo and video capabilities now...those are tools that law enforcement relies on extensively today.
I will just point to the example here in Vancouver of the riot in June of last year, where we successfully identified and have now prosecuted or have recommended charges for the crown to prosecute in hundreds of cases. These were people who were engaged in criminal activity or rioting behaviour and we had no information other than a clip of a video or a photo.
So taking that back to this whole discussion around private security and these quasi-public/private places—shopping malls—I think there's a real opportunity here to really mitigate any risk, whether it's to the public, private security personnel, or even offenders, if we think about relying on technology a little bit more extensively. With the right kind of information, we have the capability now in law enforcement to identify people and successfully investigate people who are involved in even the most minor property crime offences, right up to the most serious offences involving personal harm against other people.
