McDermott said police who work with students avoid the level of transparency and accountability to which we hold kindergarten to Grade 12 teachers

“It’s sadly not that surprising

This is what we get when our politicians are asleep at the wheel and deferential to these institutions”

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner is a civilian body of the provincial legislature that initiates and oversees investigations into municipal police force misconduct in B.C., which are usually conducted by other police. Unlike the Independent Investigations Office of BC, which investigates police-caused death or serious harm, the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner does not have the power to conduct its own investigations. The commissioner’s office informed The Tyee it would not provide information about the case beyond what was included in its report summary. But it did inform us the file date of 2023 could indicate either when the complaint was made or when its investigation began. The Vancouver Police Department must be more transparent about the incident, said the BC Civil Liberties Association’s McDermott. The BCCLA has advocated against police in schools and has written a pamphlet for students about their rights when dealing with police.

If your business model doesn't work without breaking the law, you're not a legitimate business, you're a criminal organisation.
