Mardi, mai 9, 2023

Nicole Chan — a 30-year-old, nine-year member of the Vancouver Police Department — took her own life hours after being discharged from Vancouver General Hospital amid a mental health crisis.

Key Points: 
  • Nicole Chan — a 30-year-old, nine-year member of the Vancouver Police Department — took her own life hours after being discharged from Vancouver General Hospital amid a mental health crisis.
  • Chan said she had been subjected to a pattern of abuse by senior members of the Vancouver police force starting when she was being recruited to the department.

The dark side of cop culture

    • Law enforcement agencies across Canada have been plagued with allegations of bullying, harassing and sexually abusing their own members.
    • In January 2023 — four years after Chan’s suicide — a coroner’s inquest into her death delivered 12 recommendations highlighting severe systemic issues within the Vancouver Police Department.
    • Their recommendations reflect common sense, which is often sorely lacking not just at the Vancouver Police Department, but at other organizations.

The truth about cop culture

    • Cop culture is a phenomenon that encompasses the shared values, practices and beliefs held by members of law enforcement.
    • Respecting that blue wall can include subverting the law, turning a blind eye to major misconduct and ignoring blue-on-blue crime.
    • mass shootings means the RCMP must be restructured

      The blue wall of silence is a serious issue for police forces around the world.

    • Take the recent inquest into the death of Myles Gray after he sustained a severe beating by the Vancouver Police Department in 2015.

Failure of leadership

    • They did what was easy, which was to bend to cop culture, turn a blind eye and cover things up.
    • Time and time again, law enforcement leadership has failed to address the systemic and profoundly ingrained culture of bullying and harassment within its ranks.
    • Maybe Chan’s death — perhaps a “Nicole’s Law” — could help reshape the legal system’s response to preventable violence at work.
