"Swerve and Neglect"
- Ottawa police officers are “de-policing” — or avoiding proactive policing — out of fear of being scrutinized by the public, according to the groundbreaking study of an Ottawa police officer turned doctoral researcher.
It is the first study of its kind in Canada that measures what has largely been anecdotal among officers who describe the F.I.D.O mentality of “F**k it, drive on,” when confronted with what many police see as un-winnable situations that will only get them in trouble or publicly embarrassed.
But now, there’s evidence.
“It’s definitely happening, there’s no doubt about it,” said Greg Brown, a Carleton University doctoral researcher and former Ottawa police homicide and drug investigator. Brown surveyed 3,660 front-line officers from 18 police services in Canada — from Halifax to Vancouver — and five departments in New York state. In this city, 382 Ottawa police officers participated from all 18 patrol platoons — nearly the entire front-line.
Officers are still responding to 911 calls, but so-called "discretionary policing" has fallen by the wayside. It isn't just a national phenomenon here - it's international.

Stay fetal, eh!
That’s the policeing the citizens asked for and looked what happened....one of us got killed in the line of duty. What is it going to take to bring back a strong hold on criminals. We need three felony convictions and it’s the death pnetaly with no court appeals to save the tax payers money. That should be a federal law.
The progressive agenda is crippling the world. Thanks for posting this SCC. Its infuriating to see the damage that is being done for political reasons all across the continent. They have Obama’s little apprentice up there destroying a wonderful and formerly peaceful country.
F.I.K.D

Realize and recognize how the
public reviles and hates you.
The revulsion and hatred are
seen as "good politics and a
vehicle for those whose dearly
held opinion is that The Police
are what's wrong with society.
That's why you should pay no heed
to anyone wrapping themselves in the
banner of "The Silent Majority."
They said and did NOTHING during the
howls of "we want dead cops."
They said and did nothing when a mayor
and a superintendent cravenly signed The Police
and Policing in Chicago over to the left-wing
bigots and haters of the aclu.
You Coppers are supposed to eat every slap.
No mutinous talk about fighting back/defending
yourselves. You're humble public servants for chrissake.
Forget about that mean and nasty, blue-collar
warrior cop stuff that you were brought up with,
it doesn't fit the progressive surrender monkey narrative.
The Police have rules to abide by.
The savage death-loving criminals running riotous roughshod
have no such compelling rules to abide by.
Besides, it surely won't be angry Policemen launching
a flaming car through some editorial board member's
front doors at 0300 in retaliation for some artfully crafted
newspaper shit-talk.
It's easy to go hard at Policemen.
They're proscribed from fighting
fire with fire.
Go hard at Dude Inc.?
Sheeeyaaaat...
Somebody might actually get hurt
if Dude gets his nose out of joint.
Police Like You Have No Friends.
Oh Canada.....
Where have you misplaced your balls....
You had some once
But now have none
Don't blame that on the immigrants
You so preciously welcome
Shit, you'd think all that ice would at least firm up those empty nut sacks a bit.....
(And, for the idiots that presume I am speaking to law enforcement, guess again, dumb asses.....)
Ironically, the flip side of this is that 1930's style beat-cop policing has been shown to be highly effective. Maybe we need to return to that style where the heat is always on the thugs.
International phenomenon.... who/what is behind this and why? Who wins?
Criminals certainly win but aren't internationally represented.
Does that mean Dudley Do-Right would not rescue Nell from the railroad tracks?
Now, Kees me you fool, eh????
I have been doing it everyday on a beat car in Chicago!
Proactive policing is dead, if you as an Officer want to retire healthy and happy!
KMA 20+ years
Woa woa woa....why would you need a homicide det In Canada? Isn't that one of those civilized countries where the Government decided no "subject" should have a gun?
A Canadian friend explained to me that the city of Toronto and the province of Ottawa are the most "Americanized" in terms of violent crime and BLM style apologists, so this article comes as no surprise.
The problem is that this breeds hesitation on the part of the police. Instead of acting decisively and with the appropriate force, hold back. Afraid of BLM, ACLU, states's attorneys who want to put the police in jail, pandering politicians, etc. This I think is part of the reason why LEO deaths are rising across the country.
Canada has many of the same problems we have. Better beer though.
Who wins ?
Soros wins . . . .
F.I.D.O. equals Fetal? When you cross the border Yanks, remember Molson equals Beer!
Now that I got your attention and are pissed at a Rubber Head. (Scientifically, when you fight a Canadian their heads bounce off the side walk.) Are doing the same stuff we are doing? But are better organized?
“Carleton University doctoral researcher and former Ottawa police homicide and drug investigator”
Key word - Former. Hope he got out and not forced out.
Love it ... FIDO.
Reminded me of an 80’s old timer in 025 who wore a big white DILLIGAF button way before the era of ubiquitous snarky acronyms and emojicon.
Chicago is apparently satisfied with its current crime conditions and approaches.
We have the lackluster Right Man for the Right Time ™️, CPS graduate, current 3x Merit Appointee and Cabrini Alum providing third party leadership...take that Ottawa !
It’s best to treat Police work like beer and chocolate, enjoy it in moderation.
I like turtles.
I'm going to name my dog FIDO.
STAY F.I.D.O.
And politicians still wonder why civilians want to pack heat?
George Soros is proud of his criminalizing of the U.S. and now the world. May he burn in hell.
In my department we call it “NC, NC”, No Contact, No Complaint. Avoid citizen contact outside of responding to 911. Minimal interaction, write the report and hide until next call.
It's a shame what's happening with law enforcement. Everyone wants it, just not when it concerns their family criminal. It can't be both as liberal democrats have so willing shown us. So for less law enforcement, vote democrat, but don't expect much sympathy when a CCL holder sends your little family criminal straight to hell on the copper jacket express.
J.J.
The spread of the disease/liberalism.💩
How and why is Soros still alive?
F.I.D.O ****LOVE IT!!!!*****
Those clever HOOSERS.
Was in Canada a month ago, nothing but Muslims pushing baby carriages. Good luck.
Does that mean Dudley Do-Right would not rescue Nell from the railroad tracks?

The like minded think alike.
Does Canada have their own version of the ACLU…CCLU????
Just axin
The last laugh will be on the dummy liberals. You reap what you sow.
I actually like his noble steed better.
