National Police Federation: British Columbia’s bail system needs smart, evidence-based reforms
The revolving door of British Columbia’s bail system is draining police resources, compromising public safety and eroding community trust. It’s time for the next provincial government, of any stripe, to implement smart bail reforms that prioritize effective monitoring and data-driven decisions.
The National Police Federation , representing about 6,500 RCMP members in B.C. and 20,000 across Canada, believes that enough is enough. RCMP Members experience firsthand the impact of a flawed bail system, particularly in urban areas where a small number of offenders are responsible for a disproportionate amount of crime.
In addition to data-driven decision-making, there is a pressing need for enhanced post-bail monitoring. This could include electronic monitoring or regular check-ins to ensure that those released on bail adhere to their conditions. Such measures would not only help protect public safety but also hold offenders accountable.
