Sometimes I file Freedom of Information requests. Here’s a thread with some of those past FOIs (mostly VicPD) and some resources. If you have an idea and need help doing your own, even if you just need a printer and a stamp to mail it off, I’m happy to try to assist! #yyj #cdnfoi


There’s a #yyj police board meeting at 5:00 pm. Apparently the province has finally decided whether they will veto Victoria and Esquimalt councils’ rejection of some of VicPD’s proposed 2023 spending. Posting over here. bsky.app/profile/stephe…

There’s a #yyj police board meeting at 5:00 pm. Includes police chiefs encouraging overturning SD61 election, and a letter from the mayor that makes it clear #vicpdboard refuse to work with the city to lower their budget request. Will post on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/stephe…

🚨 NO evidence to support the notion that police-in-schools make educational spaces safer. ⚠️ The detrimental impacts are still present regardless of police-in-school programs being rebranded/reformed/revised/‘reimagined’/‘created anew’ #BCPoli #BCed #YYJ #YYJPoli #BCLab #CDNEd

Here’s a short thread on SD61’s direction on police in schools. The proposal reads like a new type of SLO (“police member assigned to schools”), but with some oversight over programs delivered, and formal requirements for regular meetings, data collection, etc. 🧵

Re-upping this old thread on what SD61 SLOs used to get up to. E.g., telling international students to "be positive representatives of your home nations"; engaging in recruitment at schools; "wellness checks"; etc.

Earlier this month I sent summary info on SD61’s school liaison officer (SLO) program, and schools’ use of police, to SD61’s SLO committee. Tweeting out on this thread. CW: includes summaries of SD61 schools calling police, including on kids under 10. #yyj #cdnfoi

In 3 years the provincial government has yet to conduct high-quality research on current and recently ended SPLO programs that centres Indigenous, Black and other acutely affected student populations. 1/2 timescolonist.com/opinion/commen…

Resharing email campaign to object to SLOs in schools and government interference with SD61.

The province appointed a pro-school liaison officer "advisor" to rewrite SD61's safety plan, interfering with the elected board and making it clear they want police in schools. I would encourage folks to email to object. Template here if it's helpful! docs.google.com/document/d/19a… #yyj
