Should BC have police liaison officers in schools?
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of police liaison officers in schools and the broader context of social issues in Vancouver.
Vancouver received a citywide makeover ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Is this a good thing, or does it only scratch the surface at tackling the city's problems? The federal government is extending an amnesty for owners of banned firearms while a legal battle plays out at the Supreme Court of Canada. Human rights organizations are calling for a province-wide moratorium on police liaison officers in schools, arguing that the programs can cause harm to Indigenous, Black and other marginalized students and contribute to the criminalization of youth.
