Here are the highlights from a recent coroners report in Montreal,
For the Quebec Ministry of Public Security:
Clear guidelines for police who come into physical contact with an individual who has not been detained or arrested.
Clear guidelines for when a police officer is authorized to take a weapon out of its holster, when an officer can fire a weapon and at what point he or she should stop shooting.
A clearly stated position on the controversial practice and training of patrol officers to shoot at the core of a person's body, until the threat has ended, knowing that this practice, almost systematically, results in shots being fired unnecessarily.
Ensure that the police force does not equip patrol officers with firearms for which the sequence of the gunshots following the initial shot is swift enough [to fire] ... 3 to 5 bullets in 1 second or 1.5 seconds.
For the City of Montreal and the borough council of Montreal North:
Create a public action plan for poverty and social exclusion for residents in Montreal North.
For Montreal police:
Ensure that police called to work in Montreal North receive training for dealing with members of ethnocultural minority groups and understanding their perceptions of police.
For the Quebec police school:
Create and implement training to teach officers how to respond when an officer or their partner is attacked.
Create and implement training that teaches officers how to distinguish between criminal profiling, racial profiling and social profiling.
Montreal police will follow recommendations
Montreal police Chief Marc Parent said that while he still has to go through the full report, which is over 100 pages long, the police department generally supports the coroner's findings.
Parent said the police department plans to implement the recommendations directed specifically at the force, while also being sensitive to other recommendations that may indirectly affect police.
He added that respect is a core value of the police force, and a value he has upheld since he took over in September 2010.
“As long as we are respectful, we will be treated with respect in our interventions,” Parent said.
Villanueva's family is expected to react to the coroner's report later today.
