The Calgary Police Commission raised some questions with the Calgary Police Service over its handling of hate speech following the Million March for Children last week.
Commissioner Heather Campbell brought up the concern during a regular meeting of the police commission on Wednesday.
"Thinking about how we protect the community, how we protect community members, how we protect Calgarians from having such horrible hate speech hurled and spewed at them for no other reason than they want to exist." "It's really through awareness and education, peer support, engagement and having those conversations," she said.
She added police are allies of the LGBTQ2S+ community and they are tasked with monitoring behaviour, not beliefs.
