jdobbin Posted March 30, 2007 Report Posted March 30, 2007 http://www.canada.com/topics/news/politics...350a9e8&k=82753 Police haven't been able to get a response from the Tories on their promise to get more cops on the streets. It wasn't in the budget. The police, one of the Harper government's strongest allies, launched on Wednesday an attack on the Conservatives by publicly lambasting them for failing to deliver on a key election promise to put 2,500 more police officers on the streets.Three national police organizations issued their rebuke in a joint press release, a sign cracks are emerging in the close relationship between the Conservatives and the police, who are frequently at government's side as it promotes its law-and-order agenda. "Despite many attempts to move forward on this issue with Federal Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day, a formal process has yet to be engaged," the Canadian Police Association, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the Canadian Association of Police Boards said in their statement.
