Hello #Canadian #Policing #Research #EBP friends. What are you doing on June 21-23, 2020? Hopefully going to the Cdn Policing Research Conference, being hosted ENPQ in partnership with CACP / ACCP Research Advisory Committee and CICC. Call for papers below!

Happy new year #EBP friends! Just a reminder to prepare and submit your abstracts for the upcoming CACP / ACCP CICC conference ENPQ. Conference is June 21-23; abstracts due Feb. 29 (the leap year gives you an extra day... but don't wait til the last minute!)

Our hearts go out to our partners in policing RCMP Nova Scotia who lost one of their own in a senseless act of violence. We salute their fallen officer and honour all others who put their lives on the line for hours on end to keep Nova Scotians safe. Condolences to all grieving families.

This morning, four families in Mulgrave Park lost everything to a fire. If you can, please consider donating. Please share gofundme.com/f/firemgp GameChangers902

Thanks CrimCon for organizing this excellent event. Great to have a chance to speak alongside Matt Ashby and Troy Payne just now. And thanks Kelly M. Socia, Ph.D. for the tweet stream!

More than 20,000 Nova Scotians were tested yesterday. That's more than 1 in 50 Nova Scotians. In a single day. That represents an exceptional collective effort and I have nothing but thanks for every person who took part.

I just want to say that, while I know it's not ideal for anyone, I'm super impressed by the work my kid's school and teacher have done to make online schooling work over our first full week. NS Teachers Union Halifax Regional Centre for Education

I'm excited to announce that I've started a new blog that just launched today. The first piece poses the question "What's Wrong with Government", but don't assume you know the answer until you read it! link.medium.com/tKumDiIOpgb

On July 1, I start a new chapter as an assistant prof in SOSA Dalhousie University. Looking forward to reconnecting with academic colleagues and also continuing to do work with Pier Labs and community orgs on policing, community safety and harm reduction. Catch me on campus!

A police union endorsing a political candidate should be concerning for everyone, including Mayor Ken Sim. It demonstrates the police union's leadership's fundamental misunderstanding of the absolute importance of their political neutrality. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
