We support the decision of @TorontoPolice not to participate in this program. With no viable plan presented by the federal government, it makes no sense why we would allocate our limited resources towards this misguided attempt at public safety.
In Toronto, our members are dedicated to making an actual difference on our streets by targeting illegal firearms and partnering with other law enforcement agencies to tackle the smuggling of guns and illicit drugs across our borders.
Our position has been clear from the beginning: money spent on the buyback program should be directed to police services across the country, rather than on a bureaucratic program with no tangible evidence of success.
