@ctvedmonton Actually, the research in this area is pretty consistent: gun buybacks do not have any effect on crime.

If you want an actual expert in this area, I’d be happy to refer some to you.

Interesting new research about the U.S. experience with 'defunding police', how it was defined, how it unfolded in some U.S. cities, and what it could mean for Canada.

Our very own Brendan Costello is currently in Winnipeg competing for the St. Thomas Police Service at the World Police & Fire Games.

He ran the 800m race earlier today and placed 5th with a time of 2:03.

Congratulations, Brendan!

Our thoughts and prayers are with @OPP_ER, their families and all members of the OPP as they mourn the loss of OPP Sgt. Eric Mueller who was shot and killed in the line of duty last night.

A study was just published in Police Practice and Research examining how 500+ Canadians perceive a police officer wearing various pins and patches. Check out the full study here: https://t.co/5colluQCFE. @BennellCraig @csdreid

[Rylan Simpson @rylan_simpson]

The display of pins/patches by #police #officers has generated much discussion among police/media/public.

Does wearing them impact people’s #perception of ofcrs?

In new research w/ @BennellCraig, we test this question using data from >500 🇨🇦s: https://t.co/pVXplIuNk7.

Just got funding from the Prov of Alberta to look at stressors on police officers there as a result of the growth of anti-authoritarianism and the new threat environment. We're doing confidential interviews on doxxing, physical/legal threats, overwhelming POU, etc. [email protected]

[Jerry Ratcliffe @Jerry_Ratcliffe]

Did you know that in 2015, @PhillyPolice ran the largest experiment in predictive policing there had ever been?
And it found that targeted marked police cars reduced property crime by 31%, as well as in the subsequent 8-hour shift? And crime came down in the districts?
Yeah! 🧵
