Rethinking Toronto Police: a Public Forum
June 20, 2011
This public forum provides an opportunity to discuss new and alternative ideas about police issues in Toronto.
The evening will include brief ten-minute speeches, each focused on one of four key issues:
a) Where should we cut money in policing? Councillor Adam Vaughan
b) Alternatives to how police deal with young people. Speaker TBA.
c) How do we end sexist, racist and other inequitable police practises? Carol Tator, York University
d) Challenging police culture. Mariana Valverde, Centre for Criminology, University of Toronto
Following these remarks, we will break into four groups in which members of the audience will participate in discussion of one of these issues. Before the evening concludes, we'll do a brief summary of conclusions about ways to move forward.
Everyone is welcome to attend and participate.
Time: 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Venue: 519 Church St. Community Centre
Location: 519 Church Street Toronto, ON
