Ronald MacDonald says officers need to learn how to think critically in the moment to assess danger, refrain from immediately using force
The head of the watchdog agency that wanted Vancouver constables charged in Myles Gray’s 2015 death says police across Canada need better training to de-escalate tense situations with people in crisis.
“Those are examples of where our training is falling down and where we can do better as a society in the training of police,” said Mr. MacDonald, who took over the agency in 2017. Mr. MacDonald said he has been a long-time proponent of equipping police with body cameras to better understand what happens during incidents like the death of Mr. Gray.
