“[Police] are expected and they are obligated to take every step to ensure that someone in their custody is safe and secure," Benson Cowan, chief executive officer of Nunavut Legal Aid https://t.co/Z76k35GzBw

“When [police have] arrested someone and detained them and put them in a jail cell, they have complete and total control of that person’s physical integrity ... They are responsible for the protection of vulnerable people in these circumstances."
