Vancouver, Victoria school trustees vote to review police school liaison program

BY , Jun 23, 2020 11:30 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

School trustees in both Vancouver and Victoria have voted to examine the role of police liaison officers in their facilities.

The separate, unanimous votes came during school board meetings last night when trustees also rejected calls for immediate suspension of the liaison program while the reviews are underway.

Supporters of the liaison program, which sees officers with special training assigned to specific elementary or high schools, say it helps police develop relationships, especially with at-risk youth.

But critics question who the program is actually protecting.
