Coderre would hire 250 more cops
Denis Coderre is promising to hire 250 more police officers if elected.
And they would all know he is their boss.
In other police news, the SPVM are adding 9 more security cams to the 24 they already have in what they feel to be hotspots. CTV says they “can be viewed in real time” but evidently not by us.

Great, promise to lower taxes and then put more money into the largest budget in the city, so that more POC can be beaten up in the name of making the city safer. Meh
That’s about $28M more per year, without considering of equipment, pensions, etc.

The Québec civil liberties group has a quick reaction to the increased police cameras in public: https://liguedesdroits.ca/encore-plus-de-cameras-de-surveillance-du-spvm-la-securite-publique-ne-doit-pas-passer-par-la-sur-surveillance-des-populations/.
