Quebec police launch petition to ask for safer work conditions after death of officer
Painchaud says the number of calls for police to respond to potentially violent people has increased by 35 per cent since 2018.
Liberal Public Security Opposition critic Jennifer Maccarone wants the National Assembly to call a parliamentary commission about better protecting the public and police officers. “We should be concerned. The police officers are raising their hand. It’s a cry for help,” Maccarone said. “They want the government to work for them so they can work for us. The only way to do that is to study it so that we know we are doing the right thing, putting the right actions into place.”
Maccarone also said it was important that officers be aware if, during an intervention, the person has violent tendencies or mental health problems.“Imagine if you are the police officer arriving on scene and you don’t have all the information,” she said. “You aren’t just putting your life on the line, you are putting your life on the line sometimes unnecessarily because sometimes you don’t have all the information.
