According to a study by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s researcher Christian Leuprecht, if the cost of policing in Canada is to become more sustainable there must be a discussion surrounding the extent of police service and how these are delivered.

A debate about the extent and delivery of police services must take place immediately, according to a study by Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s researcher Christina Leuprecht.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The current business model for police services in this country is unsustainable, especially considering there is no evidence that greater expenditure has either made the country any safer or improved the quality of service,카지노 게임 컬렉션� he says.

Dr. Leuprecht, a professor in the School of Policy Studies and Department of Political Studies at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s, says Canada spent $12 billion, or nearly 1 per cent of gross domestic product, on policing in 2012. He recommends prioritizing police responsibilities to reduce that expenditure.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The scope of policing has expanded greatly in recent decades,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Leuprecht. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Order is integral to freedom. But in a liberal democracy that is premised on limited state intervention, we should be debating 카지노 게임 컬렉션�what kind카지노 게임 컬렉션� of policing instead of 카지노 게임 컬렉션�how much.카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The study features other ideas for containing the costs of police services for Canadians.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�We need to place a much higher emphasis on quality over quantity when it comes to policing,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Leuprecht. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�As well, we need to shift the emphasis of police work away from law enforcement and towards 카지노 게임 컬렉션�peace officer.카지노 게임 컬렉션�카지노 게임 컬렉션�

In his study, Dr. Leuprecht makes a case for economies of scale and reducing overhead, for example through greater use of technology by police in Canada to cut costs. This includes sharing court records online instead of using paper and cutting down on administrative work by using electronic messaging techniques (such as email or text messaging) to send minor offence notices. 

However, Dr. Leuprecht suggests that with up to 90 per cent of police budgets spent on salaries, core and discretionary policing activities will have to be triaged to become more efficient, effective, productive, affordable and sustainable.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�In 2012, Canada spent $12 billion, or nearly 1 per cent of gross domestic product, on policing alone,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Leuprecht. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�The current business model for police services in this country is unsustainable, especially considering there is no evidence that greater expenditure has either made the country any safer or improved the quality of service.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
