Excerpt from the 2018 Michael Regis report, “Policing in Greater Victoria: A Study in Addressing the Gaps in Engaging Greater Victoria's Diverse Communities.” Text says: “One participant mentioned that her son is regularly targeted and stopped by the Greater Victoria Police even though he is not involved in crime. Her son is scared to leave his home because he hates being pulled over so frequently. He is a construction worker and is regularly stopped as he is walking home from work, even though he has his construction tool belt and work clothes on. She stated that officers are rude to her son and do not offer him a rational reason for being stopped. In another experience, her son was stopped by officers after buying a drink at a corner store. An officer grabbed his drink without asking and smelled it to see if there was alcohol in it.” https://www.needsmorespikes.com/blog/2019/11/keeping-police-out-of-victoria-and-esquimalt-schools monthly 0.5 2021-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/586980d4d2b857fd0d24c5fb/1571887166152-SMXHK102IHK8L4XFOZMY/VicPD+School+Liasion+Officers%27+Documented+Time+-+2017.png Needs More Spikes - Keeping police out of Victoria and Esquimalt schools Graph of VicPD school liaison officers’ documented time, 2017.
