Hug-a-thug policies are failing to protect the public. The federal Liberals’ gun control policies have not worked. It’s time to abandon “catch-and-release” policies and return to the traditional principles of policing espoused by Sir Robert Peel, the father of modern policing.
Sir Peel introduced the “Bobbies” to London, England, back in 1822, by promising that police would honour the basic rules of fairness. According to Sir Peel, the police need to share the responsibility of policing duties with the public, not act as an occupying force.
