Talk:Kash Heed

Untitled
On Feb 10, 2009 (9 days prio his resignation) he said: West Vancouver Police Chief Kash Heed, who spent years tackling gang violence in Vancouver, said the shootings are “symptoms of a dysfunctional law enforcement system for the region.”

“This is arguably the most pressing social problem in Metro Vancouver. What we’ve been doing for the last five years hasn’t been working,” Heed told The Vancouver Sun. “So we need to do something different because our fundamental duty as police leaders is to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities.”

Heed said there has been too much finger-pointing over the violence and not enough action.

“The police more than any other factor are in a position to make a difference. We have shown time and again that if you invest in law enforcement and hold police leaders accountable, you will absolutely have a definitive effect on crime,” he said. “We not only must be tough on gangs, but equally tough on social conditions that breed them. We need to put in place a comprehensive, coordinated, assertive regional gang-suppression strategy that addresses intervention and prevention while moving law enforcement from being random and reactive to proactive and sustained. “ http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Kitsilano+shooting+victim+wild+history+gangs+guns/1269792/story.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.181.49.93 (talk) 22:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

"Police Academy" => Justice Institute of British Columbia or ??
re "Heed graduated from the B.C. Police Academy in 1979" that's gotta be the Justice Institute of British Columbia; the CKNW cite for that whole paragraph is now a 404, I'm not going to spend the time looking for a webarchive or the wayback machine to fix it; this is a problem with "mainstream media" sources, as they edit out and delete their own archives; another case in point of why relying on google is a hazardous and incomplete course of research, because of ongoing self-censorship/wiping of the history record by "reliable" sources.Skookum1 (talk) 05:40, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

"Radio broadcasting" and "Controversies"
The entire paragraph of the former is a quote, except for an introductory sentence, and I do believe that he did indeed address the claim in the latter that he *was* (as in past tense) a "special advisor". This seems to be a very negatively slanted view of the guy, not NPOV at all! --24.80.199.58 (talk) 07:49, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
