RCMP were called to the Prince George Public Library 11 times between Feb. 1 and March 31, 2022, but how many people were charged, a letter writer asks.
The Citizen reported 106 incident reports between Feb. 1 and March 31, 2022 at the library and 11 RCMP calls during that time. I wonder how many of those RCMP calls resulted in charges being laid against the offenders? And if charges were laid, how many convictions were there?
And if there were any convictions, did anyone spend any time in jail? I suspect the answer to all those questions is no. I have been told by several people that the attorney general has instructed Crown prosecutors not to go forward with charges unless there is a strong likelihood of conviction. Unfortunately, that means that people who obviously don’t know how to behave in public are not held accountable for their behaviour.
And why would they change their behaviour when there are no consequences? They need to learn that their behaviour is not acceptable and if that means going to jail to learn that, so be it. I think the attorney general needs to rethink the policy on not going forward with charges as it is clearly failing our cities.
