Document Summary
Cjs lecture guest speaker: john sewell, former mayor of toronto. Only respond to 1 call on average, per shift. 28 hours 4 more hours than there are in a day. Toronto: 2 officers in a car, at night. Critic: it costs more 50% more money. However, it is safer to have 1 man cars than 2 man cars. 1 officer cars see a situation, call for backup. 2 officers car see situation, get into it themselves. Would save million a year if changed to 1 man cars. All except drug possession going up. Toronto star black people are 24% of the people that polices stop. However, black people are only 8% of canadas perception of safety.
