Police struggle with crime decentralization

Police are struggling with how crime is changing. They were probably trained to understand a kind of top‑down gang structure and now they’re dealing with “disorganized crime” in which no apparent hierarchy can be discerned, and threats are issued on social media and in schoolyards rather than in some old Godfather‑style formal understanding of authority. The only statement here by Longueuil police chief Fady Dagher that strikes me is in the callout, where he says police forces need to work together, but it won’t happen in the short term. But he was not asked why not.
