Montreal to hire up to 450 more police officers as province, city vow to invest over $250 million to curb rising gun violence issue
Description
August 27, 2022
Quebec says it will invest millions over the next five years to hire more Montreal police officers and social workers to combat the city's rising gun violence issue. The province's Minister of Public Security Geneviève Guilbault made the announcement at a press conference held in Montreal on Saturday, accompanied by the head of the SPVM and Mayor Valérie Plante, who said her administration will also invest into hiring more social intervention teams. This comes as the city has been grappling with a series of shootings, including two brazen daylight shootings this past week. Phil Carpenter reports.
