Crime on our street - do you feel safe?
Description
On October 25 Conversations Live with Stuart McNish will explore the issue of crime on the streets of cities across BC.
There is a sense that random violence and gangland shootings are increasingly common on our streets. Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, and Langley have all witnessed high-profile incidents in recent days. Some, however, are arguing crime is on the decline. What perception is the reality? What role is mental health playing? Is the toxic drug epidemic a factor? The COVID pandemic, housing? It’s a complex issue, and one to which we must find solutions.
To get to the bottom of the critical issue and start talking solutions we have brought together a panel of people who have spent a career working in crime prevention – or with the businesses and individuals suffering the consequences. They are:
- Brian Sauvé, President of the National Police Federation
- Steve Rai, VPD Deputy Chief Constable
- Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade
- John Neate, founder of JJ Bean
- Doug LePard, Principal of Doug LePard Consulting and co-author of BC report on repeat offending
