SFU criminologist Rob Gordon says he’s pleased to hear that B.C. Solicitor-General Shirley Bond has announced the formation of a civilian unit to investigate complaints about the police, by the end of the year. But he notes the announcement has been in the wings of the government’s policy-making stage for quite some time. Gordon is available to comment after 11 a. m. today on Bond’s announcement that the civilian-led unit will focus on cases in which complaints about police are tied to serious injury or death.
