In this segment, Alex and the Chief discuss: The reasoning behind the controversial advice; Rising violent crime in York Region, including home invasions and carjackings; How police are responding—and what residents can realistically do to protect themselves. A direct and urgent conversation about public safety, policing challenges, and the trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Learn more about your ad choices.
