Tom Stamatakis

Justice committee  I'm sorry. I keep interrupting you. That's how I understand it. It would be my expectation, and the expectation of the front-line officers who I represent, that the first course of action should be to let the police effect an arrest where it's appropriate to do that.

Justice committee  Well, I think it just depends on the circumstances, so it's not completely accurate to suggest that police won't respond to a property offence no matter what. It depends on the circumstances. If a person phones 911 and describes a set of circumstances where there's a heightened

Justice committee  Thank you. Obviously a question like that would involve a very long and complex answer. What I can tell you is that all public police officers in this country are trained. The responsibility for training and policing falls to the provinces. All of the provinces have provincial

Justice committee  Yes. I'm going to concur with the comments that my colleague from the bar association made. I touched on this in my comments.

Tom Stamatakis

Justice committee  As front-line police officers, we can attribute the majority of the crimes that are committed to organized crime groups, or individuals involved with organized crime, or serious chronic offenders.

November 1st, 2011Committee meeting

Tom Stamatakis

Justice committee  Yes, I agree with that, and I agree with the minister as well; I don't think any police officer that I represent would disagree with the notion that we have to get at the underlying issues and try to get people out of situations where they're engaged in criminal activity. But in

November 1st, 2011Committee meeting

Tom Stamatakis

Justice committee  I think that's fair to say. I would take it even further and say that if you look at the cost to society and the economy of organized crime, those offences that are committed by chronic offenders, and the cost it takes to investigate organized crime and to investigate the chronic
