myFM News presents ‘Ask a Cop’.
Listeners submitted questions for Halton Police Constable Ryan Anderson.
Several residents asked about the latest Stay-at-Home order restrictions. Constable Anderson assures everyone that they will not be randomly stopped by the Halton Police.
He adds that the HRPS is focusing on what it calls the Four E’s:
- Engage
- Explain
- Educate
- Enforce
Over the weekend, Halton Police Chief Stephen Tanner released a statement on the matter:
“We will always be committed to the safety, protection and security of the entire community.
“It is my hope and expectation that our officers will not be put in the position of having to use enforcement as a mechanism to achieve what should occur through voluntary compliance. That is why we are committed to engage, explain and educate our public and we will resort to enforcement only as a last resort.
“We will not be stopping vehicles or individuals randomly but will respond as required and when necessary. It is my hope that our citizens will continue to work cooperatively with us and with all levels of government throughout the weeks and months ahead.”
Constable Ryan Anderson breaks down how the HRPS will be responding moving forward.
He also encourages residents to get out and enjoy the warmer weather, even if we have snow at the moment.
