Halton Regional Police Chief Steve Tanner has also made it clear his service won’t be backed into a corner by the new guidelines.
“The @haltonpolice has always, and will always work closely and in cooperation with our citizens,” he tweeted. “During this next COVID-19 phase we will continue to engage, explain and educate our citizens. Enforcement will be a last resort and only when absolutely required for public safety.”
Peel Regional Police Association President Adrian Woolley said no matter what, his members will not be participating in anything that goes beyond what they are entitled to do constitutionally.
“I believe that these new measures called for by Doug Ford are in direct conflict with our Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” he tweeted. . “Further, they place all of our active frontline members in an untenable position when directed by politicians to enforce these measures.”
