Peel Police Services Board, Jan 29 2016 re: Carding, Retention and Peel-#PolicingBlackLives

Freedom of Information confirms that Peel Police Chief Jennifer Evans, Deputy Chiefs Chris Mccord and David Jarvis conned the Peel Police Services Board, BCAN (Black Community Action Network) in attendance, media --and even Terra Nova Marketing Strategies presenting their report.

As part of their recommendations Terra Nova stated “'Establish clear guidelines for the gathering and retention of information'. That was another very hot topic. How long is it kept?...And 'Build a strong set of oversight practices'. And we know that there are these in place and these just need to be monitored and strengthened on an ongoing basis."

That Peel Police word-warped "no one is checking" into "these just need to be monitored and strengthened" is just one of several lies that Peel Police willfully let fester that day.

And make no mistake. The Board Chair and member Norma Nicholson made it crystal clear who Peel Police street check lies affect most.
NOTE: O. Reg. 58/16: COLLECTION OF IDENTIFYING INFORMATION IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES is of no relevance on January 29, 2016. The first version of this regulation doesn’t come into effect until March 21, 2016.

What O. Reg. 58/16 not being on the Province’s books until March 21,2016 means is that at this January 29, 2016 Peel Police Services Board meeting, only the Board’s policies and those of Peel Police matter for context.

The most important policy (affecting tens of thousands of people carded by the force) is the Peel Police Records Retention Schedule and its stringent directions regarding the destruction of street check form personal information.

Freedom of Information revealed that Peel Police Chief Jennifer Evans, Deputy Chiefs Chris Mccord and David Jarvis (and others at Peel Police) knew --or should have known-- the specifics of the Peel Police street check Records Retention Schedule by October-November 2014.

By the end of 2014. Evans, Mccord and Jarvis (and others at Peel Police) also knew --or should have known-- that both the 2007 and 2012 Peel Police Services Boards stated that “race data was not to be collected at stops” --and that Peel Police were collecting race data against these Boards’ directions anyway.
