Ontario Provincial Police will no longer release gender of people charged with crimes

Dionne says the force proactively decided to stop releasing gender information in light of a broader societal shift on the issue, noting drivers’ licences and other identification documents are no longer required to list gender.She says data on gender will still be collected for analytical purposes, however, and other personal information – such as name, age and hometown – must be made public.

Dionne says provincial police are being trained on the revised policy, which took effect in May, and some slip-ups might occur during the transition. The sergeant says she is not aware of any complaints to the OPP over the release of gender information.

Nonsense

Wow what is this world coming too

That will be interesting when they show a mug shot: You will go from ''Have you seen this man/woman?'' to ''Have you seen ''it'' ?'' Seriously this PC stuff is getting out of hand. 🙄

My goodness OPP_COMM_WR - your decision makers are out to lunch.

Is this a joke?

I no longer want to live here. This place is beyond fucked

Soon they won’t release a description at all. Unless it’s a white male. Then headlines everywhere. Neo nazis! Flooding Canada!

Holy fuck. What happens to this place?

Why

Wtf. This is way overboard

Not surprised cops know nothing about sec

That is madness!!! Enough of this PC crap!

If you are looking for a women or a man it would help to know which one. Who did this stupid change. Hope it was not Ford.

I'm glad our police are welcoming doublethink with such open arms

Good grief!!

what about those convicted? This is beyond getting ridiculous.

Are Wynnebag's SJWLiberals still running the province fordnation ?

What is the world coming to?!!!

This is so ridiculous! Wondering what the heck is wrong with people these days... 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Too many to choose from nowadays. Stupid world

Does withholding this information not interfere with other victims coming forward? OPP_News

That's funny...

Oh God 🙄

Does this also go for providing descriptions of suspects or will they just say “looking for a white person, blonde hair, 5’9”, 150 lbs” etc. ? If so does that not compromise the investigation and by extension public safety?

That’s ridiculous and stupid

PC gone overboard. Transparency is a Liberal's horror story.

lmao

911 dispatcher tells man not to call again for 'fried chicken mishaps'An Ontario police service is reminding people only to use 911 during emergencies after receiving a call for a man who was upset that he had received tomatoes on his chicken sandwich. His mom should’ve taught him that before he learned to dial 911. I bet if he was fined, he may be less likely to call again. When we used 9 to dial out in my office, I once (accidentally) called 911 while trying to make a long distance call. It happens, but an issue with tomatoes? Com-on! Get his name and issue a fine.
