Episode 229: 2024 Police Report... and the budget

In this episode of Breezy Breakfast we’re turning our attention to the Guelph Police Service’s recently released 2024 Annual Report, and addressing commonly raised concerns and questions on policing, accountability, and community safety.

Guests Police Chief Gord Cobey and City Councilor and Police Board member Phil Allt, share their insights and highlights from the report as well as some of the challenges faced with policing in Guelph overall.  We talk about some of the new initiatives such as the Intimate Partner Violence and Human Trafficking unit (IPVHT) and the Community Services Operations Centre;  we get into some stats on the reduction of crime and increased safety; and of course, it wouldn't be a policing conversation with out touching on the budget.  

For an added bonus to our podcast this week, check out the Dispelling Human Trafficking Myths, video, a collaborative project from Guelph Police Services and Victim Services Wellington, Guelph/Wellington Women In Crisis, and Crime Stoppers Guelph/Wellington.  If you or someone you know is in need, please reach out.
