Port Coquitlam’s MLA and the B.C. solicitor general is asking for public comments to help shape a new set of provincial policing standards.
Mike Farnworth is considering new guidelines following the Missing Women’s Commission of Inquiry — a B.C. organization that made recommendations to the policing response of missing and murdered women including those killed on Robert Pickton’s farm in PoCo.
The government outreach aims to “ensure police services are delivered in a manner that is fair, equitable and responsive to the needs of vulnerable groups,” according to a news release from the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
