Listen "Reviewing Police use of force and the homeless"
Episode Synopsis
A Toronto Law firm has been hired to look into the way Halifax Police handed a protest and a shelter eviction in front of the old Halifax Public Library almost two years ago. The Board of Police Commissioners will pay $250,000 for the independent review into the way the homeless and their supporters were treated in August of 2021. Mark Sandler is a partner with Cooper, Sandler, Shime & Schwartzentruber. And he explains what their terms of reference will be, their history of similar reviews and how they will engage the public, the police and other stakeholders. And Sandler also explains why they said they’d only be involved if the report will be public when it’s finished after their 12 month review.
