"Our command on the ground suggested to bylaw, 'look, we got this, maybe you should leave to try to defuse the situation.' Defusing situations is something we do a lot," he said. The city's director of Bylaw and Regulatory Services Roger Chapman told CTV News the 'temperature of the crowd' had started to escalate and a decision was made to disengage for public safety.
The police chief, who has been in charge of the Ottawa Police Service since November 2022, said police services works closely with bylaw on all protests."We talk to bylaw all the time. There's quite an established program we have with them," Stubbs said."Our goal is about safety of the protesters, the community, our members and safety of bylaw officers.
"This is part of the dialogue that people in Ottawa need to be having, not only with the police, but with our municipal leaders and our civic leaders. We want to be sending out the message that Ottawa is a welcoming place for protests and demonstrations."
