Before the Toronto police board voted to approve a $46.2-million budget increase request for next year, a police director explained that case closure rates have dropped for most crimes since 2015.
“That’s because investigations take time and effort and resources,” Toronto police director of information management, Ian Williams told the board earlier this month.
But while police say lower closure rates are one reason why they need increased funding, experts are conflicted about whether they’re an accurate measure of police achievement — and whether the figures should be used to justify more resources.
I wonder if that’s due to the “Don’t offend the (insert criminal minority group here) school of policing we see the TPS enacting with the Muslims.
