Toronto police's vulnerable persons registry has 'failed to do its job': city omdusman | CBC News
Briefly

Ombudsman Kwame Addo stated, "Due to communication failures and poor management, the individuals who would benefit or be supported by this resource weren't registering for the service." This highlights the systemic issues impacting the registry's effectiveness.
Addo noted, "No one within the Toronto Police Service took responsibility for managing the Vulnerable Persons Registry," emphasizing the accountability failures that hindered the program's reach and registration efforts.
Addo remarked, "It's unreasonable to expect officers who don't know about the service, or who are not familiar with the service, to be able to promote it," showcasing the need for better training and awareness.
He concluded with a stark assessment, saying the registry "has failed to do its job," which underscores the essential function it was supposed to serve in aiding vulnerable individuals.
