Police Accountability: Canadian Civil Liberties Association

Canadian Civil Liberties Association: Its at least the second time the board has given Police Chief Bill Blair an extension since first passing a motion more than a year ago that he report the statistics to the board every three months and address discriminatory practices, according to The Star. Critics of the practice, such as the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, say that a prompt review of the data is necessary for police accountability and transparency concerning street checks and racial profiling and An internal review of carding data which could shed light on whether the practice targets minorities has been delayed by the police board just a day after the citys auditor general said an independent review of the data could be more than a year away. The move means that any public accounting of police street checks called carding where officers document an individuals personal information, including race, is months away.
