Newsletter
Do you struggle to keep up with the news about misconduct by Ottawa Police ServiceOPS officers or the latest boondoggle (mounted unit, body-worn cameras, cop city complex, etc.) rubber-stamped by Ottawa Police Service BoardOPSB? Are you looking for a way to stay informed without sitting through hours of meetings? Then look no further!
COPOUT 613 will be publishing a monthly newsletter providing critical coverage of policing in Ottawa and beyond, focusing on what Ottawa Police Service BoardOPSB and the various provincial "oversight" bodies are (or more often aren't) doing.
Each issue will include:
- a review of what's been happening at the various Ottawa Police Service BoardOPSB committees as well as the main board meetings
- an "in focus" section going deeper into a specific topic
- a round-up of cops in the news, focusing on Ottawa Police ServiceOPS but also including relevant or noteworthy stories from the rest of Ontario, Canada, and the world
- recommended reading about policing
Join us as we try to shine a glimmer of light into the murky world of policing!
