Ontario police associations are urging the federal government to tighten bail policies for repeat and violent offenders following a brazen gun battle in Toronto on Nov. 11, where bullets struck a police car with officers inside. Among the offenders was a minor with three prior firearms prohibitions, officials said.
The Police Association of Ontario, the Ontario Provincial Police Association, and the Toronto Police Association are asking the federal government to implement stricter bail reforms “so repeat and violent offenders can’t continue to harm our communities while out on bail,” they said in a Nov. 13 joint statement.
