Group calling for defunding police seeks role with board overseeing Codiac RCMP
Grassroots NB also wants Moncton to stop plans for new police station

A group that's called for defunding police and halting a new police station in Moncton wants a more direct role in the civilian group that oversees the Codiac Regional RCMP.
Hafsah Mohammad with Grassroots NB outlined the request at the Codiac Regional Policing Authority board meeting Thursday. Mohammad said the group wants a role similar to that of El Jones in Halifax.
Jones has been given approval by the Halifax Board of Police Commissioners to plan a committee that will define defunding the police in that city.
"We would like to offer a voice in the same way," Mohammad said during the online meeting.
Charles Léger, chair of the board and a Moncton councillor, said it's an idea worth considering.
"I certainly, based on what I'm seeing in terms of community engagement and making sure that people's concerns are heard, think it's a good approach," Léger said during the meeting.

Léger said the concept will be discussed at a future subcommittee meeting.
The policing authority oversees Codiac RCMP, which polices Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview.
Mohammad has said they should cut police spending to other things in the community.
It's 2021 budget is $34.6 million for 147 officers.
"The Codiac Regional Police get tens of millions of dollars to provide a service for a small fraction of the total population of 145,000 people," Mohammad said.
"So if not for the sake of having a healthy and safe community for all people, can we consider re-imagining the approach to crime prevention for austerity's sake?"
Call to halt new building
Mohammad and Charles MacDougall have recently appeared at Moncton council calling for the city to halt plans to build a new RCMP station in the city.
The city's 2021 budget forecasts spending $46 million on the station, though that figure is expected to be updated once design work is complete in January.
James Graves, who sits on a policing authority committee planning the station, told the board Thursday that design work is about 90 per cent complete.
The updated figure in January will include changes to materials costs related to COVID-19, which has made some building materials like lumber more expensive.
A construction is expected to be issued early next year with a decision on awarding the contract in the spring.
Planning for the new station has been underway for years, though its cost estimate has repeatedly risen as its completion timeline has been pushed back.
The latest timeline suggests it will be open in early spring 2023.

The city purchased land for the station along Albert Street for $2.45 million in 2019. That land was cleared and remediated this year.
The existing station on Main Street opened in 1980 and was headquarters of the smaller Moncton municipal police force before RCMP took over in the 1990s.
Leger has previously described the old building as "cramped" and no longer meeting RCMP design standards.
The new station is expected to be designed to accommodate growth in the police force as the region's population increases and to move the dispatch centre, now in a Dieppe fire hall, into the building.

Have a good one Mr. Amos I suspect you and I are fighting different battles.
Best of luck going forward.
If you think that anything I wrote above suggests that they do not, then "Methinks" is a misleading word choice.
When Mohammad says "having a healthy and safe community for all people" she means keeping BIPOC folks (to use their terminology) safe from the threat of the police.
Congratulations you have succeeded in making people safe from the threat of police. But the threat of being shot to death by your fellow citizen just sky rocketed! Great work BLM!
They steal something in your area, you talk to the police "Oh, we will put it on our list. If we come across it, we will call you"
A far cry from the police in the 70s, when they would follow up, and do check on things, but in many areas they do not have the resources to deal with theft, for instance.
What is needed is not to defund the police--- Train the Police, on how to deal with arrest, not to shoot to kill when someone is running away, but shoot in the leg, to weaken the assailant, perhaps in some situations.
Train the police. Fund the police for that.
Same in Nova Scotia when that guy was taking people out it wasn't any of these Defund the Police people running out to stop them it was the RCMP.
I agree with getting rid of bad police officers like the guy who was suspended for 4 years that is what needs to change.
Voters elect municipal and provincial politicians. They are entrusted by the voters to make these decisions. If you disagree with them, be sure to let them know. If they do not meet your expectations, don't vote for them next time around. If you really disagree with them, put yourself up for office and run and get elected.
We really need to address this bigger issue of focusing on vocal minorities only. We want effective policing, we don't want to defund then. We want quality mental health care, we don't want police officers being forced to act like front line mental health care experts.
I'm not sure whatever happened sometimes bad shit happens and it's not people doing it on purpose.

Trudeau fellowships are, I believe, awarded to the top candidates who
apply for PhD funding to SSHRC each year (which most institutions make
mandatory.) I say that just to say it is a research award more than a
political affiliation, although certainly raises questions whether
it’s ever appropriate to name research fellowships after political
figures. And they def try to network with the researchers etc.
