Wally Oppal, Former Attorney General and Lawyer for Boughton Law Corporation says Vancouver needs to get tougher on crime and deal with mental health challenges after a weekend machete attack on a busy downtown street. 

Wally Oppal, Former Attorney General and Lawyer for Boughton Law Corporation says Vancouver needs to get tougher on crime and deal with mental health challenges after a weekend machete attack on a busy downtown street.

"We've always looked at the Americans and thought thank god we're not like them," says former Attorney General Wally Oppal on violent crime in Vancouver  

Ep 257 Guest: Wally Oppal Headline: Policing in the 21st Century   Today’s police officer is a combination of crime fighter, detective, first responder and social worker who faces a myriad of crimes and criminals that didn’t exist a generation ago. Terrorism and cyber crime are just a few of the new threats to the safety of any community that are on the rise and are extremely challenging to address.   At the same time, as Wally Oppal says, “The public has very high expectations of the police.” Expectations that in most cases Oppal says the police are meeting, “I think, in western democratic societies we probably have the best policing in the world and that is due in large part to the high level of qualifications and training that are needed to be a police officer in Canada.”   What is clear is the web of security forces that are now compelled to work together and coordinate their efforts is expanding. No one security system can meet the needs of society, business and industry and our ever changing requirement to guard against terrorism.   We invited Justice Wally Oppal, the man who is heading up the review on education and training of police officers in BC to join us for a Conversation That Matters about preparing law enforcement officers for their role over the next few decades.   Conversations That Matter is a partner program for the Center for Dialogue at Simon Fraser University.

Sandy Garossino

On today's Woodford Show we largely focus on the public inquiry into money laundering beginning with former trial lawyer and columnist for the National Observer Sandy Garossino. Then NL News Director Shane Woodford is joined by Green Party leader Andrew Weaver for his reaction. We then hear from a former Attorney General and Commissioner of his own inquiry into missing women Wally Oppal. We finish the show by getting the skinny on the TRU Generator program for young entrepreneurs with the university's Lincoln Smith.
