Sault Ste. Marie Police Services Board will integrate intimate partner violence declaration made at city council this week into its community safety and well-being plan
Sault Ste. Marie Police Services Board has voted in favour of adopting this week’s unanimously approved resolution made at city council to declare intimate partner violence an epidemic and integrate it into the city’s Municipal Community Safety and Well Being Plan.
“It hopefully allows us to acquire additional funding for research in our universities, in our ministries, to see how we’re doing it now, how we can do it better — and how we can prevent what happened in the last few months,” he said. “We’ve made some strides over the years, but we clearly haven’t got to where we can be where women feel safe in their homes when they’re living with an abuser,” Stevenson said. “I’m very comfortable that all levels of government will listen to this designation of epidemic.”
The jury at a coroner's inquest into the 2015 deaths of Nathalie Warmerdam, Carol Culleton and Anastasia Kuzyk in Renfrew County made that recommendation last year, along with 85 others aimed at preventing similar tragedies. “It would be unreasonable for any chief to go through what we did and not re-examine everything,” Stevenson told reporters following Tuesday’s board meeting.
The chief of police told reporters Tuesday that members of his police service are in contact with Sweeney.
