Thank you for the question.
Certainly, in my opening remarks.... One of the things you might notice is that the issue of bail and repeat offenders continues to create some barriers for us as a police service when it comes to protecting survivors of intimate partner violence and a variety of other offences, as well. It's not the only issue, but it's certainly one of them. It creates some issues of confidence for survivors coming forward, and also for the police response.
I don't have exact numbers. However, what I can tell you anecdotally—I've been involved in this for 25 years—is that one of the concerns survivors have, at least among those we've dealt with, is this: When an offender is ultimately released, how are survivors going to be kept safe? Unfortunately, it's a legitimate concern, one we've seen play out tragically here in Peel—Darian Henderson-Bellman being a great example of that.
