Chief Myron Demkiw appeared before the Standing Committee on Justice Policy at Queen’s Park Wednesday and gave a presentation about what the force believes should be done.
In 2022, there were 44 shooting-related homicides in Toronto. Out of those arrested and charged in connection with the homicides, seven were on a firearm-related bail at the time and 17 were on any type of bail. The Toronto Police Services Board and Toronto Police Service have three potential reforms they want the government to consider.
They are recommending bail hearings for the most serious firearm offences be heard by a judge of the Superior Court or at least a judge of the Provincial Court.
