But the aim, according to Saunders' report and presentations from officers Thursday, is to make de-escalation a priority when dealing with a crisis.

Jan 2, 2024 — London politicians should think twice before they sign off on body cameras for city police officers, says a leading critic of the technology.

"I understand the public has concerns because a new tool is going to be put into play," Saunders said. "But one of the things to really consider is that all of our training involves judgment training. It's not the weapon; it's the judgment behind using that weapon or that tool that's provided to the officer."

"Our concern is, of course, the fact that if CEWs are available to more frontline officers, there is a risk that they will be overused, and not just overused, but overused ... for people who might be experiencing crisis and might be harder to communicate with,"  she said.

"I think it will help enhance officer safety, it will help enhance community safety and I think it was a great day for us," Saunders said following the meeting.

Signs of lead poisoning are not always easy to see. Children can be poisoned by lead and may not look or act sick. Many children who are lead-poisoned look and act healthy. Sometimes the vague symptoms may be mistaken for other illnesses such as upset stomach or flu. Because of this, lead poisoning may go unrecognized.

"We're glad to see that they're considering analysis and reporting that will help them kind of see ... who is this actually going to be impacting," Scali said.

Data presented at the meeting showed that between 2007 and 2017, the TPS used CEWs 3,248 times, and half the time, the device was only presented. The uses resulted in 31 minor injuries, two serious injuries and one death, although the cause of death in that incident has not been determined.

Before Thursday's meeting, officers could call on one of 545 supervisors who've been issued a CEW if they needed one, but the report noted many of them may not be available because of other calls, distance or if they're off-shift.

A blood lead test is the only way to find out if an adult has lead poisoning. Lead is a powerful poison that stays in your body a long time. It can build up in your body to dangerous levels even if you are exposed only to small amounts of lead over a long period. An elevated blood lead level shows that lead is building up in your body faster than it can be eliminated.

"What we were anxious to do was add one more means by which if de-escalation is not successful, that situations can be resolved without the kind of dire consequences that come from the use of firearms," he said.

The Toronto Police Service (TPS), and Chief Mark Saunders, suggested the increase to achieve their goal of zero deaths when it comes to interactions between the public and police.

The board also unanimously approved a motion Thursday that will result in broader deployment of naloxone kits, a first for the Toronto Police Service, as soon as possible.

One option, she said, would be expanding the TPS mobile crisis intervention program, which partners a mental-health nurse with a specially-trained officer.

"So we have concerns that we could be using other tools that are available or that we should be considering other options," she said.

Scali also worries the people she works with, who are at higher risk for cardiovascular health issues and substance-use disorders, might have more severe reactions to the use of CEWs.

People with high levels of lead in their bodies often do not seem sick. The symptoms that occur are very general and can happen for many reasons. Over-exposure to lead can cause serious damage even if the person has no symptoms.

Members of Toronto's Police Services Board passed a motion Thursday to issue up to 400 more conducted energy weapons (CEWs), or tasers, to certain on-duty constables.

Part of the approved motion also requires the TPS to conduct a review of other use-of-force options and gather input from the public and affected groups.

The board also held public consultations on taser use in October and faced criticisms for favouring tasers over other de-escalation tactics.

The move to increase the number of CEWs available stems from a need for more, less-lethal tools to protect both the public and officers, according to the report Chief Saunders presented to the board.

Children can get lead in their bodies by swallowing or breathing in dust that contains lead. Lead is a poison that affects every organ and system in the body. There is not function or need for lead. Very high levels of lead exposure can cause coma, seizures and death. Even a little lead can make children slower learners. Other health effects include:

Antonella Scali, a policy analyst with the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario, spoke out against more tasers at the meeting.

Your health care provider will ask you some questions to see if your child is at risk for lead poisoning. The only way to know for sure if your child has been exposed to lead is to have their blood tested. Blood tests are used to find out how much lead is in a child's blood. The test is simple. Your health care provider takes blood from your child and a lab will test the blood.

The decision Thursday means constables permitted to receive a device will go through 16 hours of training exercises and studies.
